You have two dudes listed out of 11/12 who weigh over 300. I point this out simply as an illustration to the folks who want just war daddies - they are rare asf.

@Calinative my comments are in no way a shot at you or anything you wrote. Some of our “fans” expectations are so incredibly impossible.

Yup. Only 1 recruit in the top 10 DLineman are 300+ lbs already - Richard Anderson who is 6'3" 335 and the #1 DLineman in Composite rankings (well technically 2nd cause Lamar Brown should be 1st if he wasn't listed as Athlete).

But just in general if you have a guy thats already 300+ and a monster athletically/strength wise, those are guys that are already ranking pretty **** high. And we were on the guys ranked 11-12-13 that were that Vodney Cleveland, Kendall Guervill, and Tomuhini Topui. But We lost Cleveland to Texas, Topui is a west coast guy who USC got early. Guervil is probably the only one where I think you could really question why we haven't made a much higher priority. But it does seem like Hes going to pick Texas. So Texas is looking to get Cleveland and Guervil as their top 2 Dts this class.

I think in general I'd want guys that are already in the 280lb range who are 6'3" or taller and pretty **** athletic. Because I think it's a lot better to put 20lbs on a DT and hope he retains that athleticism that he already shows than get a guy who looks more sloppy in HS and because of it you are hoping you unlock some more athleticism by getting him in better shape... I mean unless the guys just like a monster already at 300+. Thats why Topui was the guy I wanted most. 300lb poly kids that are highly rated. All ******* day you want those dudes.

But that's like why Nolan Wilson and Bryce Perry-Wright Some may say they should just be an EDGE and recruited as such. Which hey if we get them with intention of strictly playing the 4i role, it makes sense. Ultimately with the scheme we are going to run guys in the 280-290 lb range will be very useful. So if you got one of those two and they were say already 270lbs once they hit campus and you get them up to 285lbs asap, you'd be very happy.

Not even sure how a guy listed 6'4" 341 and 6'2" 265lb are really competing for the same spot lol. In order by composite ranking:

Pure DTs:
Lamar Brown - 6'3" 285
James Johnson - 6'2" 285
Keshawn Stancil - 6'3" 260
Anthony Kennedy - 6'4 341
Tyson Bacon - 6'4" 265
Freddie Wilson - 6'2" 265
JJ Finch - 6'3" 278


EDGE/DT Tossups:
Nolan Wilson - 6'4" 250
Bryce Perry-Wright - 6'2" 250

Little to no traction:
Kendall Guervil - 6'4" 315
Btw surprised we have had no talk about recruiting Jermaine Kinsler....
Kamhariyan Johnson - 6'3" 265


No matter what imo we need 4 DTs in this class tbh. So if we have Kennedy and Bacon in the boat tomorrow, I think we need to land 2 top guys out of Brown/Johnson/Perry-Wright/Wilson.
Even though the later two are more fringe DTs that may just end up sticking at EDGE like Blount has, they could end up being DTs. So honestly if anything I'd say Freddie Wilsons spot is determined based on if we land 2 of those 4 or not...

I’ve been saying 3 DTs but won’t fight you about 4.

The room needs a huge talent infusion.
 
Seems sudden. Hope this is a reaction to missing on JJ and the LA kid.

I mean yeah look at our Eligibility Chart. I think with moving to 105 scholarships, over the next 2 seasons we need 7 HS DTs. We should have the expectation we will have some Attrition, which is fine. Take more asap and let the best survive after a couple years of development. It'll be money well spent rather than forcing yourself to rely on Portal for DT which is notoriously hard to get. I think 3 should be minimum yearly at DT and EDGE probably going forward.

As things stand for next season I think we should expect Scott, Simpson, and Jones to contribute. I think we are likely in a position that we either NEED Moten to return (I don't think is likely tbh) or will be hitting the portal for another top 1-yr portal DT for the 3rd year in a row - which again is hard to accomplish.

And hopefully for the following season Russell and Newton are ready to contribute, but what if they aren't and Justin Scott is good and declares early? The more the merrier I think.

And I'd bet Scott leaves early...

Everyone keeps mentioning 105. With Rev Share coming in, getting to 105 is going to be no easy task. In fact, most SEC and B1G schools are still staying around 85.
 
This kid is a take, regardless. Him and Bacon are a nice combo. Now shoot for the 2 whales. I believe, if we beat ND, game 1 after a 10 win season, hype around this team will be unfamiliar to a lot of people. The DT position will play a big roll in it. I think we win 10 and make the playoffs. The season could change things in this class, come Dec.
 
Anyone know if he’s young for his class, similar to Simpson last year? He looks like 14 years old.

How did it go from, “Miami will not be pursuing him” to he’ll be getting Freddie Wilson’s spot, out of nowhere?

Magic trick to keep other schools from trying to up the bag reading deposit slips out the trash from the bank haha. I wouldnt be surprised if Morris was part of the plan too with the LB board "reshuffling".
