I like the way the cycle has setup. Way more high level quality kids are committing in the summer. By the time the season starts. our big board should have come to shape more so than in years past as a bunch of these kids will have made their choice. Dominoes are falling faster than I can remember.
Yeah thats what's gonna happen then how we close on guys like Hicks, Cormani Samson and other guys who take it all the way will determine of we can get close or break into the top 5 come signing day. But those above will lay the foundation then the all year guys will look and say yup, that class can match up v UGA, Bama Ohio etc. That's also why drubbing UF for Rashada was important. Not just for him as a player. Symbolism.
Agree. I also think the "Hmmm..did we reach here?" kids are pretty much in the bag now and here on out its going to be high quality/elite level kids filling up the class. I think Cline might be the last one who would be in that category.
I honestly don’t hate one prospect we have committed right now. Mikeska would be the closest but we need guys like him. Not flashy but needed and he isn’t exactly one dimensional. Plus he had offers from Clemson and Okie. Seymore didn’t make sense with all the talent out there but he decommited. You take Bobby because it’s a position of need and Robby is that dude. I think some maybe sleeping on Robby just cause we got him so early. This is a kid that goes to UGA Bama or LSU in previous years. Tinilau falls under the category of I simply trust Mario and Alex on all OL recruits and the measureables are there.
I scratched my head on Bobby because I have thoughts of another Tyler Johnson situation where posters are telling me he has everything you want in a LB (size, speed, mean streak, tenacity, etc) but for some reason hes still considered a project and needs to put it all together. (we see what happened with TJohnson.) But Robby is so good, you have to take Bobby and roll the dice. They are clearly a package deal and schools like UGA and Bama found that out the hard way.
It will be interesting to see how Tinilau looks out on the field. It was definitely an early take but they must have been really impressed with his size. Several good P5’s are staying in touch with him.
Bobby has 1 advantage there and that is playing as an off ball LB currently. Manny was always infatuated with taking these HS DE’s and moving them back. Didn’t work to say the least.
To be clear Manny was obsessed with taking under sized DEs that weren’t equipped to play on the line but also didn’t have the agility and lateral movement to play in space. It was maddening. When he finally did get guys that would be able to play in space, they were the size of UGA’s safeties
Boy is 6'3 almost as fast as Robby and violent. What's gonna matter is the coaching and is ability to process information. He is gonna belong physically. Which is something that alot of 3 stars lack. Not this case.
Was thinking the same thing. I'm sure we are after someone but DT names seem to be few and far between. Would like to see list of guys we have shot at.
I dont think we are a factor there to be honest. Think someone said we were eliminated. Let me check his Twitter
