With a chance that we face them in the Nothing Bowl and with Norvell taking over there, thought i would take a shallow dive into the program
One of the very few programs (only?) that were actually able to penetrate "Blueblood" (15-18 teams) status in the past 50 years.
They have junior RB Cam Akers, redshirt soph WR Tamorrion Terry and junior DT Marvin Wilson (also had hand surgery Nov 7th) as possible NFL early entrant draftees that could sit out the Nothing Bowl.
Beyond that, in 2020 they return 6 other offensive starters and their entire defense. They will lose their place kicker and return their punter
Norvell is definitely not opening an empty cupboard but by their standards he has a long way to go.
They currently have the 29th ranked 2020 recruiting class with 9 (NINE) 4-star recruits and 5 3-star recruits. No clue how many will stick but Norvell has 10 days until the first signing period and 6 weeks thereafter (including the dead period) until the Feb signing period. They had the 18th ranked class of 2019 with 9 4-stars and 1 5-star.
This is hardly a ground-up full re-build.................but, ASU can score on them (even without Eno/Aiyuk/Cabral) and can stop their offense
Decent matchup
