Most of the guys in the current CB rotation have been in the program for years
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.

Well I said rotation, I don't expect Alton or Sparks to play this season.
When you have a Freshman starting over Juniors and Seniors that tells me all I need to know about the talent we have.
Stribling, Cheadle, and Sherrils need to earn their stripes this year, or we're screwed, it's that simple. I just don't see the talent there from watching them the last 2 years.
