Similar to Offense, lots of evaluation and sorting out to do for top targets at each position

I’m hoping we can get in on the recruitment of Ivan Taylor from West Orange HS in Winter Garden. He’s Ike Taylor’s son for any Steeler fans here.

Kid is a gamer… seen him play a few times over the last couple years.

My bad… kid is c/o 2025. Either way, we need to jump in on his recruitment. Bama offered recently. Will end up a 4 yr starter for a decent HS program

Addae struggling to land a signature win at CB or S. Patterson should be in the boat. Gotta think he should be going after Jamari Howard harder

You're right on point! Patterson and Trader should already be in the boat. Addae and Beard are both getting smoked like holiday hams. Why isn't Jamari Howard getting the full court press?
 
Haven't heard much on TJ Lindsey, hopefully this is one we are keeping warm since we have an uphill battle with so many DT's.

I'm starting to think Howard must either have grade or character concerns we aren't aware of, just a guess. Trader & Patterson I think just wanna make sure we don't suck *** on the field like last year. We show respectability between the lines and we close both.

not sure if @Cribby would agree but @Sebastianspipe and I have talked about some of our "3 stars" being underrated and should be 4's. Isiah Thomas is one.
I thin Mack and Romanas could be bumped up. Mincey should not be a 3 star anywhere. He doesnt look like a burner but every play he is step for step with the wr he's covering.

Quite the DL class. Mario made it his mission and accomplished it, really only missed on a Daytona/Mainland kid, a Mississippi/SEC kid, and a kid from Norman, OK that was very very close to coming here. Very impressive

Landed our top 2 LB targets in Hayes and Pruitt. Derek Nicholson is an underrated dude on the staff, coaching and recruiting

CB recruiting is hurting. Addae might need to be replaced. If we don't land Mincey, prob need a guy in the portal

S - landed our top guys at S, Zayquan could be a stud

people will say Ellis Robinson, David Stone, etc.

but one that really feels like we should have had is Chris Cole - Rohan curse got 'em
