yall see the predictions for the remainder of the Rivals 250. A lot of Bama and LSU on there, while we kick rocks in the street. Gonna be a bad few years in the future for us.

I agree. Premature melts are the worst. Wait till everybody is gone tomorrow and we have open spots. When the bell rings, then we melt

Why would anybody be melting right now? It's been pretty obvious we weren't closing with much this year


Because we didn't even close with the little we thought we would.

Yup. I made that decision a few years ago.

It has been nice ever since. Signed letters of intent are all that matter to me. I enjoy reading the info now and then, but that's all I use it for.

We don't have a lot of margin for error with our player development though


D line is the last place we should be crying about player development. Byron Cowart being lazy doesn't mean we're not developing our d-linemen.

So we are just ognoring the fact that our pass rush was injured for 2 years. Or that were consistently blown off the LoS in 2015 because last year was good?

The DL has been solid the last season and a half. We're about to have two high DL draft picks... and had a freshman all-American last season.

Garner deserves some shite assuming this class bombs like it appears to be doing... but you can't just ignore the last 18 games bc it doesn't jive with your perception.

Because not that long ago we looked primed to land 4* LB Taylor, 4* LB Ryan Johnson and had a few guys on the board like 4* Oliver

Now we have 5 spots left with 1 remaining targer. a 3*DT that is headed to FAU unless we offer.

We only have 7 DTs

Derrick Brown
JohnTY Johnson
Andrew Williams
Dontavius Russell
Antwan Jackson
Tashawn Manning
Byron Cowart

Of those 7, two are DE's by trade. 1 is a redshirt freshman 2 haven't had a snap yet and 1 is a year away from being ready for contact.

If Brown or Russell were to get injured we'd be fuuuuuuuuqd

Garner is usually good for a signing day surprise. Hope he has one this year.

Doesn't look like there is one even on the radar. This year sucked.

Yep, Garner went on vacation and forgot he had a job to do. Same for all the coaches.

Daniel was a surprise. So was Cowart. Hoping we can grab somebody on the DL.

He was kind of on a radar though we just didn't offer until we missed on other guys like the S from IMG. Can't remember his name. Cowart we got because of Boom.

Still surprised he hasn't transferred...

Like someone else said, do you all get the feeling this staff is trying to put bandaids on the program rather than bust arse for the future?

it's almost like a bunch of dead men walking

I need to get up to speed. Any surprises tomorrow to look for? A Rashaan/Foster type flip? A surprise signing?

To sum it up, the only surprises tomorrow will be the names of the 3*/2*/NR we sign.

-5 spots remain; NCAA heavily considering passing a no back-counting rule, so we need to fill them
-4* DE Johnson picked Stanford over us last night.
-4* LB Taylor insiders say is going to LSU
-4* DE Bryant UGA still leads
-We chose not to offer a couple of 3* kids who visited last weekend we all thought were for-sure B or C-plans
-3* DT Truesdell is the only remaining target any of us know of and will go to FAU if neither UF or us offer

No need to hold your horses, there are none in the stalls this year.

This was very bizarre.

Truesdell has some good offers, hope we can get him.
