Discussion: David Lake’s “Dream” Mock Class

He's got one legit recruiting win and that's Williams. Frierson was Banda and not to mention a legacy, he was a layup. Blades was never going anywhere but Miami. Kid was committed to Miami when we were getting stomped by 50+ against Clemson. Couch should been a Miami commit from day 1 but we messed around and almost let him walk to Michigan. Clarke a 3 star under radar played mostly offense. Dunson is a Nole if they don't fire Taggart. One legit recruiting win in 4+ years and countless misses including his own former players lol Garbage

Do this in reverse for kids we didn’t get and you’d be screaming EXCUSES!!!!

It doesn’t work that way. Nothing but studs have signed on the dotted line the last three years.

That is ALL that matters.

It's David Lake.

No more discussion is needed.

QB Jalen Milroe - A bit shocked but I guess as of right now he’s believed to be the only viable candidate

RB Thad Franklin - Expected

WR Mello Brinson - A lot of reason to believe this is going to happen especially with the O probably taking off this year.

WR Jacolby George - expected

WR Yulkieth Brown - Confused here. I don’t think the staff values him this much to use a spot on him without missing on Brashard.

WR Brashard Smith - Hence the confusion with Yul. So they take a 4th guy even though they got who they want? Unlikely especially being that we could use that way more spot at CB, End, or even OT.

TE Elijah Arroyo - Expected

TE Khalil Brantley - Expected

OT Michael McLaughlin - Expected

OL Laurence Seymour - Expected

OL Ryan Rodriguez - Expected

DE Jabari Ishmael - expected

DT Savion Collins - expected

DT Allen Haye - Expected

DT Leonard Taylor - Well that’s a surprise. I can see it but an 10 - 12 win season needs to happen (probably will) and he really needs to want to play early.

LB Jacorey Hammett - Expected

LB Tyler Johnson - Expected

LB DeShawn Troutman - Expected

CB Tim Burns - Expected

CB Malik Curtis - Expected

Sidebar: That CB class is a fireable offense. Not only is there no 3rd corner but you couldn’t find better prospects to offer? Not even Davion Sistrunk? Get Rumph out my face with this class.

DB - Kam Kitchens - Another one I believe is gonna end up going the good guys way especially with Banda being a decent developer.

ATH James Williams - A surprise but the same thing I said about Leonard Taylor applies. Question would be where would you play him which ideally would be striker because of his size but he could be a box safety and still be a first rounder. He’ll be one anywhere other than pass rusher and that’s only because we haven’t seen him with his hand in the dirt

ATH- Chase Smith - At least somebody is giving him some love. Put him at WR, LB, or safety and you’re probably getting the same result.

K Andy Borregales- Expected

Good enough to be a top ten class.

Thoughts: Great class other than the CB haul sucks ***. I want Thomas Davis here, probably over Ishmael but they’ll probably go with Jabari. I would probably move on from Tyler Johnson with Chase and James being in the class and use that spot somewhere else if the WR class ends up being like that. Cb class though is absolutely garbage, trash, s**t, atrocious, a travesty, criminally negligent, eww, etc. Rumph needs a pink slip for that.

I do nothing but cringe when I've listened to the Ivins pods and hear Lake talk, guy never sounds self assured for anything and has subpar football knowledge. No idea how that guy got a job as a writer.

I’m not talking about the podcast I’m talking the last 7 years of his garbage articles. He has zero inside sources and knows absolutely nothing. Ivins saved that website. Seriously don’t know why he is employed over there
Oh. Well...lol. yeah I can see that. He isn't a good writer. Podcast is ok though

I know more from being on twitter than he can provide in an article about recruiting. I’m not even sure if the dude has access to the team with the stuff he puts out hahah.

I agree 100%. I take both Davis and Ishmael. Chase Smith over Tyler Johnson could very well be what happens. As for the CB class, yes it would be a fireable offense. The excuse last year was that South Florida didn't have a good CB class. That will be the excuse every year if Rumph is kept around. I've seen enough.
