Desperately need Scott, Lightfoot and Blount to live up to the hype. And Bain to not be a bust

Gotta show these kids that we can develop our 4/5 stars. We have no recent history of putting anyone notable in the league

Tough to be in a position where we need so many sophomores on the DL to make an impact

The dog days of summer needed a shot in the arm and "The Work" delivered.

Appreciate the insight! Really encouraging to hear about Lightfoot and Lowe. How are Scott and Jones looking? I'm still concerned about DT.

And while people are concerned about DT, LB, and WR recruiting (and rightfully so), nothing is more concerning than the dumpster fire that is our Safety recruiting. What is going on there?!

It's great to see you bringing back "The Work". Based on the above you haven't lost a step and still have it. Excellent job with the update and I really appreciate the report on the football team. I'm absolutely psyched about this DL particularly these young DEs like Lightfoot, Lowe, Blount, McConathy and Pickett. Maybe for the next edition you could report on the DTs. Loved to read about Mo Toure and the fact he is impressing. He may become a huge factor in this defense’s ability to turn things around.

Unfortunately, it appears as if recruiting has hit a wall. This is looking very similar to last year and it's beginning to be a real concern. Our Safety recruiting has been completely abysmal and I'm at a loss to understand why. We hired two of the best secondary coaches in the nation in Zac Etheridge and Will Harris yet we can't recruit a single safety to save our lives. Mario seems to be locked into a death struggle with Georgia for both Breck Kolojay and Derek Cooper. It's imperative that we win both but especially Cooper as losing him would be catastrophic.

I'm excited to hear about Rhys Woodrow and how special the staff thinks he is and the fact that Asharri Charles is 240 plus and is possibly considered to be capable of growing into an explosive 3tech. The development of Jaden Wilkerson is great to hear. Add him to Juan Minaya who has improved tremendously according to the staff and we have a very solid foundation for the 2026 OL together with Samson Okunlola, Tommy Kinsler, Matt McCoy, Nino Francavilla and SJ Alofaituli.

Not to nitpick here but this recruiting class is already much better than last years

We had 1 top 150 player last year

We’ve got 5-6 right now and Cooper would give us two 5 stars and another one

That’s pretty **** good (though obviously glaring holes like you said)

People just got flaccid because of the hype machine which we should all know better by now

i don't think so ... in today's climate you almost have to play those guys, or they're gone to the portal ... i think everyone with 5stars DL are just about in the same boat ... play those guys and hope for impact as sophs ... if not they will cash in somewhere else
