He could be in the 2 deep at DE.
Of course, since Patchan was healthy this year (and since he won't have to deal with any rehab), he could very well be up around 255-260 next year. At that weight, he could be a solid ball player for us. The injuries obviously set him back.
Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Chatman on the outside for a year before moving on inside.
I don’t see Chatman logging many minutes at d end in 2018. I don’t care or doubt kool told him that. It’s recruting. Tell him what he wants to hear. Who’s he going to take time from? In what situation?

Again, don’t see him taking time from d Jax, j Jax, garvin, patchan or Rousseau who is in already and a spring/semester ahead. I guess we’ll see.
Love that we're at 39 pages!! Recruits like this deserve praise!! F all the divas.

I'd bet Chatman starts out as SSDE who potentially plays inside on passing downs. Where he ends up probably depends on his work ethic, ideal weight for his body type, and the depth chart.
Yea, he’s going to start out like Pat Bethel and probably move inside next year

Exactly my thinking. He starts out at SDE and then maybe eventually moves to the 3T.
The time it will take to get this dude up to 285 good weight we could use him at SDE. Now if he grows and shows that he's fit for DT, then great.
Geeez, stop throwing the term "elite" around. It's a very big get for us considering the whiffs we had at that position this year but if some of his attributes are "elite" then they would have been noticed at some point during the football season and not in November when he released a highlight tape. Word gets out if you are "elite." Either way, good get for us.

Word is getting out. And he was noticed during the football season, read the interview where Raines' HC says he was dominant, and that that was obvious to them on film during the year.
DT is a hard position to stand out at, and without a highlight tape major colleges weren't going to be recruiting him.
Is he as good as a Nesta or a Coburn? Unlikely. But let's not act like because he was noticed late he can't be elite. If Bama offered this kid (as Ivins reported they were considering), he'd be bumped up to a 4* overnight.
He's definitely raw and needs a year of college S&C. His potential, especially with Kool coaching him, is enormous though
I definitely agree with you! He(Chatman) will get plenty of burn at DE, not at DT. I’m inclined to say that he stays at DE. Because we will be recruiting more 300lb monsters in the future classes.I don’t see Chatman logging many minutes at d end in 2018. I don’t care or doubt kool told him that. It’s recruting.

Have you looked at our DE depth chart? Sure, he's likely more suited long-term for DT, but we may need him at DE by necessity.
Again, don’t see him taking time from d Jax, j Jax, garvin, patchan or Rousseau who is in already and a spring/semester ahead. I guess we’ll see.
D Jax who's recovering from a knee injury? Patchan who's been injured more than healthy? Rousseau who will be a skinny Freshman (I love his long-term potential)? If Chatman is to play as a FR, it seems a lot more likely at DE than at DT. Again, I'm not arguing that he's not likely a DT down the road. I'm just saying as a FR he might be more likely to contribute at DE.
Do you not get that every argument isn't binary?
