-with the distinct possibility that norton and/or McIntosh go pro early next year and so many upperclassmen dts, couldn't we redshirt Moten maybe to give him that following year when we could hypothetically be just left with Fines, Martin, Ford, and whatever HS dts we additionally add this year and next? I definitely think we need to sign two this year (unless dj or bethel move inside) or we need 3 minimum next year (or
Two frosh and 1 juco)

-if we get Dean to flip and even somehow also nab Edwards late I almost think cornerback could be an underrated strength next year. Young got great burn and improved a lot this year as did Jackson. Redwine had his issues and may be better at fs but he still would be solid to
Have in a 2 deep. Bandy looks like a future star and dean looks like he'd immediately compete for a starting role, too. I personally love Edwards as a cb and hope he doesn't also bail to uf. And finallly none of this takes into account deejay who is a great athlete but would likely need a redshirt year to learn cb.

-it's stunning (and stupid) that mckitty is going to fsu but moving on baby njoku looks like his future is there having grown two more inches. Thus wr recruiting is even more of a necessity than before. I like Pouncey a lot if we add him, but only adding a guy like Smith or Thomas makes our passing game that much more of a threat next year. That job opposite Richards is wide open for the taking. A remotely semi-intelligent stud should be able to see this and see how we utilize our offense with so much balance, how well we finished the year, and how CLOSE this team is to making a serious run to the playoffs.

Why do people keep saying mcintosh and norton are leaving after next year? Those dudes have a ways to go before even thinking about that. They dont have the production to leave early.

Compare clemson starting dts production to theirs and it aint close. These guys need to become more of a force individually.

Well that depends on how many wrs/cbs we sign. He has limited experience as a cb so
If we sign more wrs and he starts at cb then I disagree based on learning curve.

At wr and as a special package guy he likely would not redshirt.

He is not redshirting, Bret

If it's a wide receiver than you are correct. If he starts at cb then you are more likely wrong (if Dean signs as well).

Good post. They progressed a lot this year and were, however, central in our defense improving so much.

People are just saying it's a possibility. If they ball out in 2017, they're definitely gonna have something to think about.

Well no. People are saying it because they are already starting to ball out and both guys have great athleticism to go with their large frames.
 
You think Bret Bielema is a good coach.

Nothing else you say matters.

for the record beilma was a great coach at Wisconsin. those teams overachieved. he just hasn't been great at Arkansas. sometimes guys fit better certain places. Charlie strong would of fit canes better then texas its just a fact. sometimes coaches suck everywhere like Charlie weis but sometimes coaches just take the wrong job. its why washingtons coach Peterson waited till a job in northwest came open in power 5 to leave boise.

baby njoku is being recruited at wr not a development te. his speed is better then his brother's and he is skinnier also I believe. he is a wr period. there are tall wr's in nfl and college u know. kelvin Benjamin for one. 2 both Norton and McIntosh won't turn pro at same time. I think McIntosh with his pass rush moves is most likely to leave early

Miami is ok at dt, u forgot tyriec martin who they got last year and ford, plus the guys u mentioned. Miami is after a 2nd dt in concliffe from what I understand and kool knows how to develop dline guys that's for sure so I don't worry at dline.

yes if can reland Edwards would be nice but I want somehow to get cj Henderson back also. if can get jeff Thomas in to Miami at wr would help to go with njoku but next year is loaded so expect at least 4 wr's in next years class.

don't move njoku to te though every indication is Miami is recruiting him as a wr period. by the way the top 4 wrs at Miami look pretty good next year depth might be an issue but top 4 is solid in Richards ( stud wr top 10 pick eventually) cager, berrios and mullins.

So in our top 4 we have one guy who has zero catches and a guy coming off acl, but we look good at WR. Hopefully Richt sees things a little clearer than you

Unless you've been asleep, we dressed like 60 scholarship guys for some home games. We're not redshirting him

Then it would be a waste of time and wasted year if at cb based on the straightforward conditions I laid out in multiple posts.
