This factory talk sounds familiar, we heard the same thing from Michigan for years. You know what I remember? Watching Ron Dayne grind teams into dust for four full seasons. That’s a real factory, one that builds men, not just processes them for the draft. Your “next man up” philosophy forgets that sometimes the next man up isn’t ready, like we saw in the ‘90s before Alvarez built something lasting. A list of draft picks is a receipt for talent developed, and you can’t win big without it. Spring practice optimism is cheap, I’ve seen a hundred “next ones” who never panned out. Real program health is seeing your guys play on Sundays for a decade, not just hoping the next batch figures it out.
