[Husker] Doc Lack of Talent

[Skylar Dodds]

It's not the older talent that is the issue, it's the up and coming talent.
Which there was Richardson....that's it.

So yes, it is a fair criticism.  And did you really put Smith, Walker, White
and Marks on that list?  Give me a break.  They can keep a section of pine
warm with the best of them.

Maric, Verlander, even Balham I'll give you.  Perry was OK.  But you have to
realize those were all upper classmen and NOT what we're referring to now.

Collier was halfway out the door and didn't bother restocking the cupboard
before he left.

I feel I need to address the idea that Collier left Doc nothing to work with
when we left.  That is just flat out wrong.

Here is a list of players that Doc inherited when he got here.

Chris Balham
Aleks Maric
Marcus Perry
Charles Richardson
Mike Smith
Marcus Walker
Jamel White
Kyle Marks
Paul Velander

Just because Doc has a real talent for running players off cannot be put on
Collier.  And even then, Maric, Perry & Richardson were a pretty good
nucleus.
Collier also had a recruit named Roburt Sallie.  So to say that Doc
inherited a big mess is just wrong.  Most of the mess is of Doc own doing.
Also Balham and Marks
had injury problems, but that is not Collier's fault either.
