Yep, it’s obvious we are lacking at DT as well as a rusher, and need some more studs. We could have best Uga if we simply had more penetration and pressure on Becks.

Idk about House, but Alabama, Clemson and others are big in on Edwin. How many highly rated o-line are left out there? Surely we can snag a few from the portal again.

They’re not 5 stars or anything but decent prospects from offer lists.


House would be flipping from Stanford. Offers from Ole Miss, UCF, Cincy. So mid level guy.

Favour has offers from Bama, UF, Clemson. Seems pretty good.

We need all the OL reinforcements we can get to be honest

Also, House is underrated IMO

We need to snag the more athletic OL targets before Bama course corrects after deciding their 350 lb linemen can’t move very well.

Pink is really big on House and he seems to know his stuff regarding linemen.

Regarding Waller. I heard on one of the recruiting shows that someone at on3 saw him in person and he is six foot and half an inch. And he ran a 4.65 40 dash, hence the low grade.

Reminds me of Howie Long talking about being drafted. He went to a regional combine and score was terrible. He got a call from one Raiders coach in the area who asked to meet. Had me run a couple of 20 yard sprints and that was it. So I figured I wouldnt be drafted and on then they picked me, same coach called me and I asked him the deal.

He said Howie your scores were terrible because of two things. First, you cant do a pullup, I dont need someone to row a boat I need someone to push OL. Second your 40 time sucked...if I have to have DL that can run 40 yards fast....I got a lot more problems than a slow DL.

Waller is the real deal....and its only 10 yards to the QB

Not sure, but a late riser regardless. Mostly unranked until august, now has offers from some of the best programs in the country.

Would be nice if the ranking reflected it but that’s what you want to know, ultimately. House is more raw. He’s gotta rework his body but has some underlying athleticism that programs like

I read this and I knew I was reading from Trinidad. You are truly the most interesting Auburn man from out in left field that I know.

Ain’t slow but is it fast? Keep in mind we’re talking about the top 30ish guys in the country when we talk about guys like Waller and these measurements. These are the ultra elite guys. They have to be ranked by something and 40 times, among other things, aren’t unreasonable I suppose.

It’s not everything. I’m not a scout so I couldn’t tell you where that ranks when you evaluate a player at that position

I know it isn't elite speed but at around 6'1 240 ish I'd say that's solid enough to maintain a rating based off of the film. For a reference Carl Lawson ran a 4.67 at the combine. He was around 20 pounds heavier though. On3 is known for dropping kids based off a a bad workout even if they're unstoppable on the field.

Elvis Dummervil had a tear in the NFL as a DE at 5’11 and 267lbs. Ran a 4.75

Won the Nagursky as a senior

Led the NFL in sacks in 2009, 2 pro bowls in 12 seasons. I’d say he’s the comp to Waller.

Waller will end up being a Jack if I had to guess.
