Hi Guys,
I'm new here. Been reading comments for a long time. I've been close to the program for the past 4-5 years or so. I was born and raised here. Followed the program for a long time, 20-30 years. The ups and downs.
Coach Heacock gave his heart and soul to this program. We all respect his efforts. He was / is a great man. And always will be, based on my opinion.
And let me tell you, Coach Wolf is too! I get tired of the "few" naysayers about his first season. Most intelligent football folks understood what happened.
Our Guins' were 5 minutes away from being a 7-4, 8-3, 9-2 team last year. It was obvious to see if you understand football. Our guys didn't have the depth we needed last year. (the typical first year purging of the bad apples). That "purging" cost us a game or three last year...we lost great players....who were bad apples). But it was expected and was needed. Wake up followers.....this is how a program is built!!!
That has been taken care of this year. Coach Wolf has filled those slots with guys that want to play and CAN play at that D1 level. It may take another year or two.....give the man and the program time.
For the faithful....in the next 1-3 years...the HS kids' "THINKING ABOUT" coming to YSU, to win a National Title...well, IMO it could/should/ will happen. Why you ask? Because I know what they have in the pipeline......it's a real possibility. It could happen anytime....get on board!!!!!! Coach Wolf and his staff are stacking it up!
Let's welcome the recruiting efforts of our staff. And welcome our new players who need to find a home. That's an unbeatable combination. Good things, real good things are happening at YSU football.
