re: The "what if" game with Fuente ...

Okay, so let's say Fuente ends-up here.

What could he do at QB with what he would inherit?

---

Fuente made a 2* QB look like the best QB in college football. With Nunez, McIlwain and Mitch....he would have more talent to work with than he's ever had. One of those guys is going to become an absolute stud next season under Fuente.

What might Fuente do with some of the other returning players?

---

He'll try to keep as many as he can and engage them/build a relationship, same as any other HC that comes in.

Will Pharaoh return?

Pharoh is going to get drafted int he Top4 Rds, he gone, possibly Top 2 if he turns it on this last half of the season..

Memphis is playing with some seriously undervalued talent - no big stars, no 4 or 5 star recruits. Mostly 2 and 3 stars and a lot of walk ons that the staff has developed.
This staff obviously has a good eye for talent and knows how to coach-em up.

Sure, he found some quality 2 stars, but IMO, this is all coaching. Fuente is just getting his guys to perform at a higher level than most other teams in the country. His offense is outstanding, his defense is meh, but if he can bring in a top tier DC, then this could be a awesome for us.
