We passed on the Mcdougle kid at DT out of Deerfield last year and he was freshman AA at WVU this year. Would have came here in a heartbeat. We passed on Davoan Hawkins and the Dumervil kid at STA because we felt good about Goldwire and then they signed early both would have flipped.

Staff killed themself with incompetence and blind faith. Take away Kools opportunity to be the sole recruiter at DL. He’s too picky on offers and can’t land the kids he does offer. Shouldn’t have took until November to offer Chatfield and everyone else knew that. We offer 6 months ago like he deserved and he’s already committed and signed. Now who knows..,

We also shouldn’t be waiting until December to offer everyone else like Carson, the juco DE we just offered, etc. Identify the alternatives early and offer them. You change your mind or get someone better and the other is committed drop them and be up front about it. Alabama, Georgia, FSU, can do it we should be able to

Couldn't be more spot on

Until you play an Alabama team that has an OL with the same speed and are twice as big and leaning on our 270 lb. DLinemen all game.

We're never going to be as big as bama. That doesn't fit what our conference does. Name he the big, tradional pro set, downhill running with a FB team in the ACC. Not sure you can. We're trained and conditioned to win in our conference. The teams we face try to run 150 plays in a game so were more concerned about conditioning than we are being big.

McDougle was a real gut-punch. Kid can play, did well against South FL comp.

If you think about the kids WVU recruits, they evaluate pretty well.

I really never thought Norton was that good honestly. I know we haven't seen Ford but I think he should be able to step in that role day 1. McIntosh is a loss, Norton eh.

Which is why at Fords size you'd have to think he can do the same.

He should, I think he has a high celling though. More Athletic can make more plays in the back field

Everything in football is about depth. You saw what happened when Richards and Herndon went out. There was a significant drop off in offensive production. We are one Gerald Willis or Jon Ford injury away from teams being able to run for 150+ per game on us. We need both to return to have good enough depth to contend for a national title next season.

It’s funny that kids announce they are staying that have zero chance of probably getting drafted.

You are bananas if you think Michael Jackson was going undrafted.

Look at the kids metrics. He was an elite CB this season. He had games where QBs were better off throwing the balls into the stands then throwing at MJ.

I'm not sure how he would have tested, but I'd wager money if he were drafted, it'd be no later then Round 4, and that'd be with an average or worse combine. If he had a lights out combine, Round 2 corner. He's very good. Some teams would have even seen him as a safety, which increases value for many teams that like to play nickel more.

That guy, at 6-1+, 200lbs is getting UNDRAFTED?

He will return as a senior as one of the highest rated corners in college football.

Always skeptical of a player from S. Florida who signs at WVU, majority of the time its grade issues. Not saying this is the case as I dont follow recruiting (yes I know, i shouldnt speak on what I dont know of) seriously. Also, i know its revisionist history but 247 had him ranked as the #929 best prospect and 63 best DT prospect.
Good for him for outplaying his perceived rank
