Thoughts On The 2024 Season

Just overall lack of elite athletic ability IMO.

Fify.

Defensive line was the biggest problem this year especially in the 3 losses. That needs to be fixed before anything else!!! No solution there an they will lose 3 or 4 games again.

Well to be fair the D Line played very well in the playoffs. I think in discussions on possibly another thread that they (DL) was finally able to play free and it was speculated the Patrino was holding them back.

Yes, it definitely sounded like they were being asked to do too much and there were too many “more involved” strategies and concepts. Once they went back to basic the line played well.

Every time a trinket like that drops I get more excited for the 2024 season!

They looked completely different late in the year. We still need a bonefide stud, but I expect out d-line to be a strength next year.

At DE, we lose Kava but my gut says Hunter Zenzen will step up. Hendricks was looking like that stud. I hope we can get him back. McCaslin has the 6-5 frame to be dominant but he would benefit by adding 15 pounds to get up to 250. Toby Anene is physically ready, it's all about technique and practice. Then you got Roques and Menz who will be a senior and Junior, when you expect them to take the next step. Abraham Myers and Victor Isele are probably a year away. Gannon Williams looks like he could compete. True freshman rarely play but we may have 1

At DT, we got the Moestart brothers (for sure Will). Kody Huisman is due for a breakout season. Logan Larson showed flashed. Duttenheffer will be a junior but hasn't been dominent yet but should play his best ball as a Jr.. Seems like we got more 3 techs than big pluggers. Brennan Palmer and Josh Magin are young and have huge frames, but are probably a year away. Keenan Wilson is an intetesting prospect. I don't think Entz even recruited a DT this year. We absolutely need a DT for the 2nd signing period or a transfer. Probably 2. Simple math for next year and what we got on the roster

I’m glad entz is gone. Excited to see how next year plays out.

Adding to HerdBot’s post above, the DT Coach Entz & Co had recruited was:
Kian Payne - St. Thomas Aquinas (Overland Park, KS) 6-4 / 255

Great highlight package, looked like he could do it all.
But, with Payne being a Kansas kid, and KState being short on DL recruits at the time, he accepted their PWO offer and decommited from NDSU.
In my totally amateur non-coach opinion, I would argue he would be better off with a team that runs a 4 man DLine. And KState doesn’t……

Hopefully the coaches find another DT for the recruiting class.
