Haha. For the most part, I wanted to make sure I picked the top ranked uncommitted NG though in Sopsher and a 5 star WR Quote Link to comment

That'd be awesome. I am thinking the 2 cousins and he is hoping mills clears to be the 3rd. That would put us at 27 commits and 3 open spots for February. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Worried about our CB recruiting. OLB meh at this point. Very happy otherwise. 2 Quote Link to comment

He mentioned the possibility of a grad transfer(s) if it is the right person. Depends on what the final signing class is in February I assume. I think other position options outside of the above would also be considered depending on what the talent level and fit is of the given candidate. He talked about taking a guy if it would "move the needle" for the program so that is how I took it. He touched on the program regarding JUCO considerations. It will drop over time unless a special talent or need is desired. I'm definitely paraphrasing here, but that is what I got out of it. Quote Link to comment

I believe I said well before the season started that we were in a hole for the 2019 class because we were late getting started (new coaching staff) and coming off a 4-8 season. But I was hopeful that we could put a good product on the field and start to draw some better attention from recruits. Unfortunely, all that didn't happen. Obviously the record didn't get any better. Offensive recruiting went very well as we could easily point to the product on the field and get guys excited about that part. Defensive recruiting wasn't as fortunate. A poor record and less-than-stellar defensive product didn't do our recruiting efforts any favors, especially at positions that are tough to recruit such as CB and edge rusher. There are probably other factors at play as well but I'm hopeful that with a "full" recruiting cycle on 2020 guys and (hopefully) a continued improvement in the product on the field, the recruiting side will pick up as well. 4 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Pretty much this. It's not "Early Signing Day". This is National Signing Day and February is "Late Signing Day" 2 Quote Link to comment

Fritzche for example figured out that Clemson didnt love him the way we did. It is valuable to know these things for the kid.

Considering the circumstances, I agree. Just not sure we have a true CB in the fold or even overly interested. We have to bodies at OLB, but not a Summerall, Tannor, Jean-Baptise guy. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mostly any big name SEC school gives him a committable offer and he will jump on it immediately. Outside of him maybe Mayo at CB? Another option would be to go get a grad transfer that can provide depth. We have a solid top three right now in our rotation, however, it can and needs to be a lot better. 1 Quote Link to comment
