Thomas Davis to the Portal

I agree that playing the result is easy, but Pat was definitely more productive than Ishmael in high school.

The Thomas Davis take I can understand since he was hyper productive in high school
Sorry I wasn’t clear. I agree on the failure with this take. I wanted Payton at the time too. But you called him all conference — you projecting that he’ll make it next year?

I think made an all freshman team and he looked really good near the end of the year.

Still, all conference is hyperbole.

The latest in a long line of tweeners recruited by past regimes that didn't work out. The list of tweener busts we've signed here in recent years is a mile long between DE's turned off-ball LB's and "strikers" who've been too slow to play safety and too small to be a plus contributor at LB.

Patrick Joyner, Sam Brooks, Terry McCray, Mike Smith, Thomas Davis

Keshawn Washington, Jalen Harrell, Cedrick Wright, etc.

Hopefully this regime prioritizes more rangy ballhawk FS types in the mold of Kinchens and stacks more LB classes like the one they brought in with Bryant/Washington/Aguirre. We're off to a great start at LB in that regard. FS remains a gigantic concern for when Kinchens heads to the NFL because that has simply not been addressed at all in last year's class or via the portal.
But if you go back and read all of their commitment bios and stories posted on CIS, all those guys were future all-Americans and must gets for the staff.

Garcia never understood the hype I thought he was awful when I saw his film. For this level not what he was doing in HS. People were hyped about him and I didn't get it ranking be damned.
