I'm concerned a bit about his speed but boy does he like to hit. Right at the end he looked good dropping back into coverage and knocking down a pass. Based on these highlights I think he's a bit of a tweener.

Wonder if he was pursued by the new staff or not?

Could explain why we're involved with several new names at LB.

Good luck to Will. He's one of the guys I figured was most likely to decommit or be sort of "phased out" of the recruiting plans for this class. LB game in a safety body who fit what Bullough wanted to do, but not necessarily what Ward wants to do.

Who do you think are the others?

Best of luck Will.

I think the most likely is Stubbs, but we'll see. That one is mainly because he was recruited for a specific position that no longer exists at SU.

Solid player, certainly didn't want to lose him but I'm perfectly comfortable giving this staff as many schollys as possible to work with right now

Yeah I can see that one too.

I figured the H Back thing would cause issues. We went heavy recruiting that position.

Fact is even Strickland and Philips aren't suited to play tailback.

Armstrong?

Slot receivers still fit in this offense. So as long as they have the hands they'll be fine. Never hurts to have dynamic athletes.

It was just a matter of time until someone decommitted. My hope is that there aren't many and that their spots are filled up by better fits for what Baber and staff needs. Good luck, Will.

Yep. It could be a lot worse. Like, ya know, Bowling Green, who seems to have lost about 1/3 of their class in the wake of Dino coming here.

Also looks like Georgia isn't on HCDB's mind for now. Might be 2 for 2 not coming north.
