I think enough has been documented on how atrocious our DT recruiting has been this year so this post is meant to be more of a solutions based post.
Step 1: Retain Our Best
Our biggest DT recruits this year aren't in high school right now they're on our roster. That would be #56(LT) and #81(JHH). Recruit them back for another season. Keeping those two would automatically put us in position to have a dominate and ultra productive line. Two senior vets that have been through the ringer of CFB is always a net positive. DT is a grown man position and having two grown men at the position only benefits us as a team.
Step 2: Go Out and Get a Freak
Next, I'm going out to the state of Texas and bringing home the freak of nature called Shemar Stewart. I know some of you are going to say F him, Let him rot in Aggieland, etc. Shemar has the potential to be a true difference maker with his size-speed combo. I also bring up Shemar because we need to be realistic with our expectations. We have a better chance at landing a Shemar than a random DT from oos that really doesn't have an incentive to be here. Shemar also has 2 years of eligibility remaining after this year.
Step 3: Solidfy Depth
I'd go out into the portal or Juco ranks and try to land a player with at least 2 years of eligibility left, thus helping us for the 24' and 25' season. This would give us 8 at DT for spring.
Step 4: Remain Flexible
Keep a spot open for a 9th spot as injuries may occur in spring or a big time surprise happens where the opportunity to land a quality piece presents itself. But I'd only take players with at least 2years of eligibility. This helps in terms of the 25' season.
This plan gives us 8 deep with the potential to add a 9th. we'd be mostly set for the 2024 season. We'd also add 3 potential pieces for the 25' season.
Thoughts?
