It's a real shame because Gavin is one of the more skilled offensive players I've seen. Seeing him as a freshman he really looked like he would be an all Valley player by his junior and/or senior year.

Kirk was a very promising Frosh who has never had a defined role to develop into. Ruder was all Frosh MVC and until Marshall left was relegated to coming off the bench already. Gavin was far more productive as a Frosh and Soph than now and if a coach can't motivate, he's not much of a coach. This is the root of MSUs problems. They were picked 3rd because of their talent. They may finish last because of lack of talent.

I have to agree. Bears players just don't seem to get better. In 4 years under our current HC you could make the argument that only Dorrian Williams has shown any progress.

You could make the arguement many have got worse including Kyle Weems.
