Cougar head coach Mike Leach said this year’s recruiting class was his “best yet” and he is still not finished. The Cougars have two scholarships left to go and Cougcenter has learned from a source close to the program that these will most likely both go to junior college defensive backs. This echoes the public concerns from the coaching staff that we heard throughout the spring regarding the defensive backfield.
Tracy Claeys was very upfront with the media on how the team lacks depth in the secondary. He talked with the Seattle Times before spring about his need for his cover guys to excel in man coverage.
