Addition by subtraction for us. Even though I totally do not miss ANO on offense, where he was a mill-stone around our necks, and totally stopped the "flow" of the offense, he did play some helpful defense.
We will need to recruit another strong defender (or two) though, since if you count ANO as a "senior" this year, we lose our top 4 defenders at the end of this season. We can live with the loss of one (ANO), but our current three seniors defensive contributions will likely be more of a challenge to replace. The good news is that Buckingham is clearly a strong defender, and Grant Golden likely will be also. Hopefully, Sherod will be solid on "D" also.
