guys are not counting the defensive end group as dline recruits and are instead focusing on dtackles ... it is what it is, the portal changes things, if we whiff i guarantee we'll hit in the portal ...
 
Fools Gold… as there is more than one “need” on a defensive line.

As stated in 50 other threads, we win games and a lot changes for us in recruiting. The way Mario recruits, if he were to win 9 games this year he’ll flips some “whales” and flirt with a top 3 class. We have to take care of business though. Simple as that.

Imagine thinking that your coaching staff recruiting the **** out of every single highly ranked defensive line prospect in the country, and landing a Top 5 collection of them, was a bad thing. Are you guys OK?

The DL class is very good. Guess what? If we could recruit a SINGLE decent defensive back, the class wouldn't be ranked #15, and the tears over the DL class wouldn't be nearly as voluminous. Hey Mr. Addae....you gonna ******* do something, or what?

Dylan Day
Isaiah Thomas
Romanas Frederique Jr.
Ryan Mack

Not a single one of those kids is ranked in the Top FIVE-HUNDRED.

Add Patterson and Mincey to this class (not saying we sign both those kids, just an example of adding highly ranked kids) and we have the #10 ranked class right now and people aren't quite as frantic about the defensive line. We have two very good WRs committed, a very good RB, a very good TE, and some excellent defensive linemen. Any time you guys wanna add some blue-chip DBs....you know, something that you should be able to do at Miami in your ******* sleep, that would be OK with me.
Yes, CB and QB specifically are the two position groups we are doing the worst in recruiting... which would also be looking a whole helluva lot different had Rashada and Cormani McClain not flipped before NSD.

Manny was an all out disaster. Even his recruiting "wins" vastly underperformed. Check out his 4-star defensive recruits as DC/HC:

* DJ Johnson (transferred out after one season)
* Garvin (good not great)
* Steed (okay not special pre-injury, quality depth post-injury)
* Silvera (good not great)
* Gurvan Hall (got worse every year he was a Cane, transferred)
* Frierson (see Hall)
* Ivey (no comment)
* Blades (looked to be emerging, Covid heart issues, transferred)
* Keontra (okay not special)
* Harvey (okay, not special)
* Blissett (transferred)
* Christian Williams (transferred)
* JHH (okay not special)
* Chanz (quality depth)
* Avantae Williams (pregnant baby momma abuser, transferred)
* Clarke (transferred)
* Dunson (transferred)
* Jalen Harrell (transferred)
* Tyler Johnson (transferred)
* Chase Smith (injured, jury is out)

Only "hits" so far are our 5-stars in LT and JW (and even he has underperformed so far), along with Kam who was a composite 3 star.

^^^ That is a whole lot of bat guano.
Sir Ivey is about to be the next Richard Sherman or Darrelle Revis. Gonna be a lock down CB for the Bengals

Has anyone talked about how and if the one year athletic department probation is affecting our recruiting or the bag games we can play?
 
Ya'll know I'm not a Mario slurper and I rarely pump sunshine but most years, this would have been a really solid DL haul. It's just that we were told over and over, by anyone with any type of connection to the program that Mario's goal was "THE BEST DL CLASS IN THE COUNTRY". And frankly, the results haven't been anywhere near that.

Top five is close and it's still August, mate.
