Official Spring PractiSe #9: Saturday, April 1

[Dwinstitles]

Forston, BHarris, and Aldarius were 5 stars on a few sites. Scout had Forston as one of the top players in the country IIRC

In todays age none of them would be 5 stars IMO

Yeah it’s a different age now though Forston had national hype. I remember seeing him on recruiting magazine covers earlier in his career. You know once these places have kids pegged as future stars it’s hard for them to change their minds.

But I get what you mean of course

Not so fast. Mark Pope was a 5 star in “today’s age,” according to some services.

Yea it happens now too, they flame out like a high nfl draft pick then blame coaches lol. The player is who he is IMO, its just having a great eye to know if they have it and will have it at that next level as well.

e

in a 3-4. He’s listed at 295

He isn’t 295 tho. I think he was like 290 at one point but I believe he dropped weight and is probably more so in the 270-275 range

 

[Bender]

I wonder if they could make Seymore a NT...

Thats just a random thought I have. He was described as a brick wall when he got here.

 

[ScubaCane]

This DL would give a lot teams fits

DE Bain 6'2 250
DT Mesidor 6'3 280
DT Taylor 6'3 305
DE Kelly 6'4 240

and probably give up 300yds rushing between the tackles

That stupid class

That stupid class

Drank that kool-aid and it left a bitter after taste. It was disappointing.

I legit thought Aldarious Johnson was going to become Andre Johnson. Such a disappointment.

 

[Warrior808]

I have concern about the DL (specifically DT) position as well but ONLY in run defense. We should be pretty nasty on passing downs. Being able to move guys like Mesidor and Bain inside along with Taylor, Dean, even JHH.... We should be able to really get after the QB up the middle. Thats how you wreck a good passing game

 

[JHallCanes]

That stupid class

Kind of indicative of our program the last 20 years

First glance everything is fine, under the hood it’s all ****

 

[FuriousStyles]

I legit thought Aldarious Johnson was going to become Andre Johnson. Such a disappointment.

Then you saw him run routes and knew he was a 4.6 guy at best… and if he was faster than that, he didn’t play that way. Depressing to say the least.

His hands were solid though. Just couldn’t create separation

Dude was slow asf he has pretty good mitts though. His speed for D1 couldn't get him open. If he had some explosiveness he would of been legit

4ft brick wall designed to keep chihuhuas from jumping out.

 

[CaliforniaCanes]

Crazy how big of an affect losing Jackson has had...... Hopefully we can scoop another space eater.

Good. NT don't need to be tall.

Fortson was a 5 star. I think he was in the top 3 of all DL for his class. I believe Spence was a 4 star, but was right on that cusp of being a 5-star

When they got to the high school all American practices and Spence dominated at 180 pounds, espn boosted him to right behind Arthur brown in the rankings

They call him the gluehands - shoutout to anyone that attended that spring game at Lockhart
