My issue is the talent isn't there at CB/S.
Our WR talent was pretty apparent, it just needed to mature. Most of the guys in the current CB rotation have been in the program for years, now will this "new scheme" finally meld into a cohesive unit? That we'll find out, but Gibson was an average CB last year and appeared light-years ahead of everyone else on the depth chart.

That's not really accurate
ACY and Holmes are sophomores and showed good signs last season.
Alton is a redshirt freshman, but missed camp last fall waiting on the NCAA to clear eligibility.
Sparks is a true freshman
Stribling and Cheadle are the only potential rotation players that have years in the program. Cheadle is a good zone defense guy, but not someone we want playing lots of man coverage.
Safety is similar, it sounds like the starters will be Sherrils and Ulmer. With Perkins and Hilton as backups.
Sherrils was pretty good 2 seasons ago, he blamed last years struggles on the scheme.
The talent may not be there, but it's also not super experienced.
