Recruiting Gurus:

Tell us about Kane Taylor. I just saw his film for the first time and I'm thoroughly impressed. Great athleticism, flexibility, mean streak. How is he only a 3 star? Guy seems to be making plays all over the field and in varying contexts--impressive. Could his listed dimensions of 6'4 270 be the cause of that? Are we in good shape with him? How many DTs are we rumored to be taking?

He's closer to 6'2 and he's agile for his size. Plays tight end in 7 on 7 setting for his team.

He's got a lot of work to do to qualify though.

The DT recruiting has been quiet

Kane Lock? In all seriousness though they've said they're looking to take 3 DL and with no DT graduating i wouldn't expect anymore than 2 of those to be DT's.

Yea, I think so too. We hear about DE's ALOT more than DT's

Rumph gets alot of crap; however, he has been Nick Saban compared to Kuligowski during his time here.

It's early but I am not impressed with the DL haul or interest level from top DT's by Kool thus far.

Because they're only taking three D-linemen, why would they take 2 DT's with none graduating

So you think it's Ford and maybe 1 more at DT (possibly Taylor)?

 

[Al Foil]

We took one reach DT last year.

We need 3 this year. Why does it matter how many are graduating?

no Ford with two DE's

Because we'll have a D-line filled with DT's, most teams carry around 6 in a 4-3 scheme

Nobody needs 9 DT's on a roster. The only way we're taking 2 DT is if they boot Fines or find another stud DT they can't turn down. 14 returning DL + projected 3 incoming is over 4 deep on the line.

He's not known to be a beast recruiter he finds guys who have that dog in them and then teaches them up. Most of his subjects were 2 and 3 star guys

Whom is the " He is not a beast recruiter" are you referring to?

Currently Miami has 5 DT's on the roster with 1 more arriving this summer.

Ryan Fines - R-Fr
Gerald Willis - R-Soph
Courtel Jenkins - JR
Kendrick Norton - Soph
Anthony Moten - Junior

with Richard McIntosh - Soph possibly sliding over to DT as well depending on his development.

Most teams 4-3 teams carry 8-10 DT's when they are allowed the 85 man roster. So Miami is 3 short of the minimum, remember Diaz's scheme calls for heavy dline rotation to keep them fresh.

Ryan Fines is not built for the scheme Diaz runs so he may be on borrowed time until next spring. I would think Miami will bring in 2 more athletic DT's (or in this case SDE's that can slide inside to DT). Gerald Willis is draft eligible after this season so with a good year expect him to try an jump to the NFL.

So depending on how the season goes UM could be looking to fill a lot of interior dline spots.
