Ray comes in late and has to scramble to bring in the leftovers that April. Hard to find a quality signee at that point- recruiter or not.
Then Ray has to boot 2 more players because they cant stop smoking weed
Then we have 2 ACL tears

Ray's 1st season was a throwaway

Now we are an improved team this year that is still undermanned- why? More players from the former regime smoking dope or not playing because they want to redshirt and then transfer to Troy to play for Cunningham.

Bottom line- Ray has taken over a 2 year rebuild and now we should start seeing some real progress the next couple of years
No former state players are enrolled at Troy. Jalen is most likely going to East Carolina. Depth or not, one of rays signees transferred while he was starting. That is something that is being buried that no one talks about. We are taking too many developmental players. We need difference makers and none are on the way currently.
