I just want to know if that's Shy in the background saying that's easy.

Yes that is shy saying that

Yep all the mid majors coming out in full force.

Well, in this kids lifetime, that's a peer program.

With the DE's we are currently in on I don't think we need to go after a JUCO of this caliber right now.

 

[orangepassion]

Believe he has 3 years and his video looked really good

 

[CuseOnly]

I was under the impression he is 3 to play 3, correct?

The question is: why are we still recruiting so many DE's? Are we unhappy with Goulborne and Zama? And by unhappy, I mean not confident ...or do we just need to secure a better rotation at this position?

We're losing Alton and Coleman. Need numbers there.

You really think we’re already recruiting over 2 kids we just sent LOIs to a few weeks ago? Come on.

Because some of these guys are going to probably grow into defensive tackles in our system. We recruit tall athletic players who have speed, and the frames to add weight.

They all won't end up at DE.

huh? They haven't even played a game yet?

This is why I'm asking the question. Not sure why the coaches are continuing to recruit this position so hard when we just brought in 2

They may project some as future DT's?

 

[RIPChucks]

If he’s 270lbs right now, I’d imagine he could bulk up some in our program and slide to DT

If you look at the roster you'll understand why. It's frankly concerning after this year.

We lose 3 DTs and 4 DE's next year. Of the 12 DL on the roster 9 are Seniors and Juniors. You need to bring in kids now. I think Vilbert is one of our biggest remaining targets from a need standpoint.

I assume Rondi/Dawson move inside and Goulbourne/Tuaz are at end. Tuaz can play TE if there's a need there to.
