Have we taken 7 or 8 the last 2 years?

We don't "need one"…Sure we need great players at ever position, and if you can get a beast that matches your evals you take him. For instance we want Folu really badly.

But with:
Johnson
Ayangbile
Jenkins
Stancil
Bacon
Chuku
Sainteus
Nagle
Carter(Portal)

And the upperclassmen swingman K.Davis (portal) as well

The staff seems to be very happy with what they've got at DT.

Got it im with you

Feels a bit like WR as DT it’s been tough sledding trying to break through the stranglehold of the SEC type programs hoarding the talent

It’s why I thought Justin Scott was one of the most important recruits we’ve ever landed just big picture. I think he takes over the ACC this year and that’s going to get people saying “I want to be the next Justin Scott” type stuff. We need that.

I think Jenkins could fall under “eval” but I wouldn’t label Ayangbile one. Josh Johnson is definitely an Eval and Dawson was as well until he blew up now the last couple of months.

Isn’t Ayangbile considered a “blue chip” meaning 4 or 5 star recruit?
isn’t he in the same tier as Parks?

speaking more to the fact that they got the two chicago dts we were on (folorunsho is a top 50) ... ayangbile and parks are of similar rank, jenkins not so much

That’s a lot of good/very good looking prospects. I’d love to get a Brewster type, but we’re hardly in bad shape there.
