****. Losing this kid + Stancil is no bueno. Now we badly need to close on Brown and that's not exactly an easy battle to win a Louisiana DT who the SEC bag kings want badly.

Gotta figure out a way to get this one done by December. Whatever it takes. Him or Brown, gotta have one. DTs don't grow on trees down here, if we have one this good in our backyard, you simply cannot let him go.

I look at recruiting in 2-year windows at each position. You can absorb a light year at a spot, but the next year, it better be addressed.

We signed Donta Simpson as the only DT in 2025.

2026 MUST, and I mean MUST, be an acceptable haul. It has to include this kid, Brown, or another one of the visitors we've had in. But we need two big bodies inside in this class. Having Johnson go to UGA is unacceptable.
 
Can't wait for Mario and Lewis to stuff you in a locker once they land the DTs
lol I’ll happily get in that mf if it happens. But even Mario since he has been here hasn’t been able to get DTs here

Not going to win anything of relevance if you continue to underwhelm at the DT spot.

And if you say “BuT JUsTiN ScOtT!!!” from 2 cycles ago then you can go fvck yourself quite honestly lol.
1000% we will continue not to reach the top if DT recruiting stays like it has been. It would be a waste to get all these other good players and be pedestrian at recruiting DTs. You can forget about beating good teams and dominating regular teams with subpar DT talent. Thats a position you have to stack with elite talent.
 
Ever heard of Justin Scott and Armondo Blount

That was 2 cycles ago.

You can't get nothing at DT in 2025 and 2026.

This isn't a debate. There is no sugar coating this. It's June, and this kid, nor anyone else has signed anywhere. This story is not yet written. But we're just talking about WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, and losing this kid is unacceptable, if it happens.
