In part one we zeroed in on the offensive recruits of 2015 and how they looked to impact the team in 2016, now in part two we focus on the defense. Of the twelve players signed on the defensive side of the ball in the 23 man class, only four saw the field last season, and just Tillery saw the field consistently during meaningful action. The Irish defense is going to lose six frontline starters from last season including four in the front seven, two of which were the very best players on the team. Those vacated positions are wide open for the taking for several members of the 2015 class who will attempt to get the Irish over the hump defensively under coordinator Brian VanGorder.
