What "grow them up" really means

[Raw Frog]

What is most unsettling is that this defense was supposed to be possibly the best Gary ever had.
What has happened to us?
It did not start this year though...Whatever it is.

It's sad, we all are, but don't be getting your hopes up for a SIGNIFICANT change, it's not in our history.

GP's best teams were junior/senior heavy with a couple of real playmakers. This team is very young overall. Sure we have or we thought we had some great seniors but it's not showing up this year.

Our talent situation is not good enough to win the conference. If we don't start recruiting better, then we can expect to finish like last year and maybe not as good as that this year. Personally, GP makes a big deal like it is a hell of an accomplishment to go to a toilet bowl - reality, that's where we are.

Some are arguing that Kansas State has as good as players as TCU but the staats don't show that according to 247 sports. Kansas State for the recruiting years of 2016, '17. and '18 had ZERO 4* or better while TCU had 10 that actually enrolled and contributed. But, Kansas State is 3rd. and we are 7th.

If our situation doesn't drastically change during the off season for the better, that 7th. place looks like a place where we settle in - we cannot WISH it gets better.

Fact is, the few good seasons we have had in the Big 12 are not the norm.

Baylor and SMU have been at the bottom of the barrel looking up in very recent times. Things can improve quickly if you have depth and experience in the right places. I'm worried about losing the "Winning mindset" we've developed over many years. If you have doubts about winning, your not going to win.

When do we actually have depth with talent? GP recruits speed.

This is what Frogs don't understand or take into account, it was 2 outlier seasons because of Boykin/Doctson. The real TCU football team is middle of the conference or trending lower from that point. Constant sunshine pumping tries to disregard that fact.
