Greg Smith from Hail Varsity said that it is very telling that they are still looking for immediate help in June. Since you expressed this as a "feeling" ... I'll express that I get the "feeling" that perhaps Frost & Company "feel" that added the top JUCO DB in the country would be something worth doing because it makes the team deeper and stronger. I "feel" it may not have as much to do with "0 confidence" as it does to just make the team better. I'm not mocking your statement at all. It might be spot on. It's backed up by Greg Smith's thoughts as well. I just don't even know if adding the top JUCO DB is "very telling" about "0 confidence" or if this move just makes the team better. In the end, why would any team pass up the top JUCO DB if they could land them? Thus, I don't even get this view. Puzzling. Even teams like Alabama add top JUCO talent ... and they have mostly 4 star and 5 star players. Hmmm. 1 Quote Link to comment

BIG ERN Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Frost wants to come in and win TODAY. Other coaches would be like yeah our DBs aren't good we will recruit that hard for the 19' class. Frost says nah, we gonna get them to play in 2018. Love it 1 Quote Link to comment

It could be a quality issue. It could be a quantity issue. Or it, likely imo, could be some of both. 3 Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 ^^^ For me ... this makes the most sense to me. And, like @BIG ERN said, let's win now! I enjoy how a forum can "round out" a discussion. Quote Link to comment

I am guessing quality late depth at a scarcely thin position group. Interest from lsu and tcu speaks of the athleticism of this guy. If the kid can play off the bat them great, but Fisher wants competitionback there and can't have competition without have some available bodies to compete. Quote Link to comment

I suppose that's a good thing, but almost wish he was a 2/2 or 2/3 player, not 4 for 3. He didn't stand out from what little i was able to find*, and if he doesnt stand out here either, we have his "services" for up to 3 years. I don't know that he's been offered (yet), but if one is forthcoming, it's one I will question a little bit. *i am not an evaluator of talent whatsoever, unless it's blatantly obvious that a guy has elite skills Quote Link to comment

I think we can weather having a couple kids like this (assuming that he's not a great player, which we don't know). It's not a long-term problem. At the very least I think it's worth taking a chance on a couple players at a thin position just to put more pressure on the would-be starters. And maybe they'll surprise us. 2 Quote Link to comment

theknife Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 How about a super late grad transfer?! https://www.si.com/college-football/2018/07/13/walter-brady-middle-tennessee-missouri-transfer Quote Link to comment
