There will be lots of mentions for Stockcube. Getting full Caps within a few years of Academy will be lauded and sung by Campbell.

In fairness, why not? a huge positive for both Ulster and Ireland especially with the demise of TB and AT....

If someone comes through: well done the academy.

No one comes through: talent isn't there.

Campbell has only been in charge for less than two years give him a chance... I have no doubt he will highlight prospects coming through but in truth you can only really blame him for those he has identified and brought in and have then failed.. that will take a few more years to show up..
