2027 David Folorunsho 5* DT From Chicago, IL (St. Patrick HS)

I take no pleasure in saying this, but these are the kinds of recruiting losses that show up in the fall. D-line recruiting has slipped the last few cycles, and I’m concerned about who replaces Moten and Scott.

We got 3 of those already.

#2 QB
#2 CB
#3 WR

and it's May.

We have the top LB prospect on our board in good shape to commit to us next week and the top IOL target on our board the day after.


Believe it or not we are actually in a pretty great spot.

That’s great, but arguably our biggest need in this class is defensive line and so far we’re taking big Ls on all the top end talent we’ve been chasing at both DT and DE.

so when do we start asking questions about the staff members leading these recruitments

Mario is relentless when it comes to recruiting. If we’re not happy with the results, I’m sure he isn’t either, and I’m confident he’ll make the necessary changes.

Since 2023 Mario and staff have gotten more 5 Star Commitments from DL & OL than any other team in the nation.

Signed,

The thing that worries me a little (emphasis on little) is the numbers on the DL the last two classes. In 2025, we landed two edges and two DTs. One of those DTs is already gone, and Lowe's future is still up in the air. In 2026, we only took 2 edges. If we have the season we expect to have, that puts Lightfoot and Blount in a really good spot to enter the draft next season. Wilson, Moten and Scott are mostly shoe-ins for the draft as well. That's a lot of production, which is why we need big numbers in the Dline room for 2027. I assume the staff knows that

Agreed but even with that taken into account, we are sitting nicely abd by no means done.

We still can add at least 1 more five star. And a bunch if high end top-100 type players.

Yeah, Im paying attention to the average recruit number more than overall ranking. We stay above 92 and Im good. Currently there isnt anyone really on our commit list that I believe is just filler. Josh Johnson kinda is but you always take jumbo athletes that can move like that when you can.

Your statement that D-line recruiting has slipped the last few cycles simply is not true. Looking back at the past 3 recruiting cycles, and I am including transfers as well since that is part of the game today, we have landed the following "blue chip" high school recruits (i.e. 4 star or higher per On3 industry rankings) and transfers:

2024
  • Justin Scott 5*
  • Marquis Lightfoot 5*
  • Armando Blount 5*
  • Booker Pickett 4*
  • Artavius Jones 4*
  • Simeon Barrow 3*
  • Elijah Alston 3*
2025
  • Hayden Lowe 4*
  • Herbert Scroggins 4*
  • David Blay 4*
2026
  • Asharri Charles 4*
  • Keshawn Stancil 4*
  • Frederic Saiteus 4*
  • DeAnthony Lafayette 4*
  • Keona Davis 3*
  • Damon Wilson 4*
  • Jarquez Carter 3*

I’m talking about HS recruiting. And I’m comparing the 25, 26, 27 cycles to the 23 and 24 cycles. It’s an obvious step down.

Our incoming DL Class (2026) has a bunch of lineman, two who were ranked in the composite top 100 (Stancil and Charles).

You are literally just making **** up.

Notice how I said nothing about the quality of talent. Stancil and Charles are going to be studs. I just said I'm a little nervous (again, emphasis on a little) about the overall numbers, mainly at DE. We gave taken 4 the last two classes combined (Lafayette, Charles, Lowe and Scroggins), so I would expect the staff to take a bigger DE class this year. Didn't think that was that crazy of a statement lol

Am I thinking too far ahead? Probably. Do I have any doubts in the staff? No

In fairness to the posters, D$ put out a bank yesterday where he said this was still "a toss up". And I can see how many people may have misunderstood that term. They probably envisioned D$'s "toss up" like this:

But, D$ clearly meant a "toss up" like this:
