Anthony “Tank” Jones

Someone like Pringle can really make a statement next week against a solid Pitt team on the road with the playoff on the line. I think him and Bryce are the two that are both on the verge of making a statement as freshman. 0 and 8 are out at safety and Pringle is playing well.

Is 8 out for sure this week? If so that blows.

Blount will be used the EXACT same way next year as he is this year, except more at Edge. He's not going to be primarily playing DT imo.

The natural progression is Blount takes Bains role and Lightfoot takes his/Mesidors role. And then Obviously Lowe and Scroggins will get worked in and Blount will move inside often.

We will only need a high floor DT3 type to bring in IF Moten returns. That would be MAJOR. I'd expect Justin Scott to take a major leap (more like sustain or improve the level he is currently at for an entire season). Simpson will be a rotational piece. And then You hope Jones and Russell are rotational as well. But just in case Blount is mainly needed at EDGE, we need a portal DT just for insurance. And who knows maybe Stancil is a contributor day1.

I think we NEED to land Tank Jones. If we have Blount, Lightfoot, Lowe, Scroggins, Pickett, Tank Jones, and McConathy I quite like where we are. I'd expect Bryant to portal out. I'd like a Pure Solid All-around experienced edge in the portal though. Not a hybrid DT or a pure pass rush specialist. We need a Legit like 6'4" 265lb DE with experience. Like maybe someone like:
1. J'Mond Tapp (So. Miss) = 6'3" 275lbs, 48 Pressures, 9 Sacks. Next yr will be RS SR.
2. Sidney Stewart (Maryland) = 6'2" 255lbs, 34 Pressures, 5 Sacks. Next yr will be a True Soph.
3. Harper Holloman (W. Kentucky) = 6'2" 255lbs, 39 Pressures, 1 Sack. Next yr will be Junior.
4. Sahir West (JMU) = 6'4" 270lbs, 22 Pressures, 4 Sacks. Next yr will be RS Soph.

- Vili Taufatofaua (SJSU) = 6'3" 259lbs, 18 Pressures, 4 Sacks. Next yr will be RS SR.
- Langston Hardy (Wake) = 6'4" 250lbs, 30 Pressures, 7 Sacks. Next yr will be a RS SR. From Jacksonville
- Michael Kilbane (Northwestern) = 6'5" 275lbs, 37 Pressures, 5 Sacks. Next yr will be a Senior.
- Dylan Labarbera (Nevada) = 6'1" 248lbs, 47 Pressures, 8 Sacks. Next yr will be a Senior.

Think we stay put at DE unless we have guys leave. Could see 1 or 2 at DT based on motens decision.

WERE GONNA DEFINITELY NEED ONE DT OUT OF THE PORTAL THAT IS A GIVEN.

At this point the portal is how we compete for a title. We have developed a rather solid proof of concept there and we are a destination school because of our location and money. The way I see it, and I agree that we NEED one DT but we should be adding as many difference makers as possible.

Do u think they’ll portal if Blount develops as a DT? Blount has that body type where he can be a 270 SDE or 290lb DT. If Blount develops as a DT, the top 3 is Moten, Scott, and him. Ur hoping to get a development jump from either Russell, Jones, or Simpson, or all of them.
