Just curious to know if there are any prospects out there that the staff may consider? We've gotten a couple of kid in the past, but I don't know if that was a Golden thing.
Good legit question that we all are thinking . . .
I believe the best bet will be a 5th year senior transfer type . . . Im sure Wisconsin and Russell Wilson may feel differently, but 5th year players (corners) looking to transfer aren't exactly the kids we want to build the program around. If those kids are pressed into playing, most likely we are in bad shape.

Ironically some of Golden's best under the radar pickups happened after signing day so I don't think it's impossible. Thurston Howell III was signed really late as a safety and he started 3 games for the Jags as a rookie last year. I believe Corn was an after signing day special too. Joe Brown was turning himself into something. Even Darius **** and Justin Renfrow carved out their place in Canes lure logging some serious playing time in 2 of the worst defenses of modern vintage.
So yes, it's possible. I'm sure they have their eyes open, especially for grad transfers since they won't take up schollies beyond 1 year. We aren't in disastrous shape with our starters/2 deep but depth is a disaster because 1 injury to Redwine or Corn and we're starting somebody who most definitely shouldn't be starting. Graduate transfers at CB, WR or even OL would be ideal as 1 year stop gaps.
Jemarius Jordan just started following both Diaz and Richt on Twitter. I don't know if either follows him tho.

Should have stopped before you mentioned Darius **** as a late signing success story.
