anybody basically clear coach coaches coming commit fans focus honestly jim love player players respect

add almost certain disturb early four good intact late learned longer players recruit spots team tough
I think, if anything, we learned you've got to recruit carefully. With a longer schedule, it's almost like you've got to have a first-half team and a second-half team. Those four inactive spots on your roster become pretty valuable. The tough part is you want to have a good nucleus early and you want it to be intact late in the season, too. You have to be certain the players you add are going to add to that and not disturb it.
