Message: [QUOTE="General Joe, post: 3227032, member: 6967"] Spot on!!!! I like Goggins also. But I think at this point HCDB should go all in on DT and add one more O-lineman from a P5 school. Of course we could get Malcolm Lamar FLST, Sherrill from NC and Thompson from OK and have a ACC type rotation at DT in 2021... throw in Justin Shorter who would be the highest rated recruit to Syracuse in the Internet era but thats not happening. Here is a reasonable look at what i would love for our 6 remaining spots from this recruiting staff. 1. JC DT Goggins 2. transfer DT Michael Thompson from OK. Move him back to DT 2021eligible 3. Juco OT Reed who I love BUT hearing rumblings a couple high high majors are now in contact. Lets hope just around the edges and they arent all in. But if somehow we lose him. How about Transfer DT Bo Peek from Stanford who we recruited in high school. We should take advantage of the crap at Stanford right now. (Maybe steal Pogorelc if Michigan or UVA hasnt smh) 4. Transfer qb Anthony Brown BC eligible immediately who we recruited in high school- if his knee is going to be ready for Spring game 5. 2020 OT Devery Hamilton from Stanford eligible immediately who we looked at in high school at Gilman and decided he was too high a prospect, bring him back to East coast He would battle for the starting spot but atleast add quality depth. Injuries happen ITS FOOTBALL. Our depth cant consists of players who never played football, never played P5 college football or are in a new position after gaining weight for a year. We need depth like a real P5 school 6. 2020 High School DT Marcus Eason- My "hidden gem" since HCDB likes taking flyers on 2 star or lower rated kids, his diamond in the rough type players. How about a non rated (0 stars) recruit at DT. Of course those in recruiting circles know Mr Eason as he has been a standout at "The Opening" and camps and is only non rated because of a in season move from Michigan to Cali and minor ankle sprain cost him. This is very fortunate for us and he could slide our way just like Trill did with his injury and Alabama and high majors forgetting about him while we stayed on him. We should be all over this kid. Here is the funny thing. From a offer perspective he would be the most accomplished DT HCDB has ever landed at any of his jobs. Last year he was projected as a high 4 star before ankle sprain and move. Offers from 7 P5 schools (GT, Iowa ST, Syracuse, Rutgers, Miss st, Ole Miss, TX TC) but my Penn St guy said they and Mich St are getting back engaged soon. He should be our #1 high school prospect right now. Kid might start for us as true freshman on O-line or D-line but would be a solid 3 year starter in the least. Having 3 year starters at the ACC level allows you to build depth behind them. This is what we need to start doing. All the speculation on what players will play where after a 4 or 5 win season is ridiculous We all dream of hitting the transfer portal lottery but its not likely specifically given our coaching staffs preference. But its not far fetched that we could get this 6 kids. They would be nice pieces to bridge to that 2021 year where it seems might be make or break for HCDB. I would really be happy with our overall class if we added this 6 players. Would be curious as to what some of you think/wish our remaining recruits will be to fill out this class.
