Positions of need to sign: CB, ILB, OLB, Ol, DL, QB

I would lodve to see us sign a big time CB. I know we have some very good ones coming back but need to sign to some to build depth as Freeze eventually wants to reshirt as many as he can.

We also need to sign some linebackers in this class. We will lose Mike Marry after this year and no one knows how good DT will be when he comes back. Plus outside of DN, MM, and KL I dont know how many LBs we have that our stafff is really in love with. Thanks Houston! But again we need to think about depth and we are already very thin here. Maybe we can move some guys around like CJ or Prewitt. However we do play mostly a base of 4-2-5 but that could change.

I know Freeze likes to follow Saban's philosophy of findind CBs over 6foot. And big inside LBs (ie MAecus Robsinson 6' 4)

I added DL and OL to the list because thats how you win in the SEC, in the trenches. We need to target top OL and DL every year. Cant ever have too many big uglies on a football team. We may need to sign a Juco OL or DL as well in case some of our last signees need a couple years to develope enough to contribute at a high level.

And lastly on my list QB. If Freeze thinks he can land a future star at QB in his offense I say go get him.


I dont know much about the 2014 class as far as available prospects and obviously we have an entire year until NSD. SO i come to my fellow Bear Ranters in search of answers as to what positions you think we need to sign. Also do you guys know of any prospects that are showing some early interest.

Thanks for any info and input!

CB- we really arent in that bad of shape. We have Sawyer, Golson, hopefully Brassell, Mike Hilton, Anthony Standifer, David Kamara, Bobby Hill, and it appears Q Mireles may play CB. We could use a couple top notch CBs though. Those are hard to find.

LBs- we currently have Nkemdiche, Marry, Lewis, T. Strong(who is gonna be a good one), Ralph Williams, S. Bryant, and just signed Rashawn Smith who will RS. I dont think Robinson will qualify. I think we will go really hard after a LB in California (David Williams maybe) and Laquon Treadwell's cousin Nyles Morgan who was also on his HS team in Crete.

OL- MS has one of the top OG in the country next year from Callaway.

QB-I think we will be fine with Kincade and Buchannan. I'm sure we will take one QB.

TE-we have a good shot of getting the kid who had a family member play at Ole Miss. One of the top TE's in the country. I think his name is Jeb maybe.

I agree the DL is a need. I'd love to see a JUCO Center.(we did get the kid from Northwest though who will GS I think)

Well we have good news regarding linebackers... Turns out the #4 overall, #1 ILB goes to Crete and might be related to Treadwell (he called him little cousin on Twitter, take that fwiw)

Also there's some serious interest from the #1 ILB from California it seems like...

Then there's Buford who could play CB (where I think he will play)

Other than that I don't know where we stand with anyone else


ETA: just watched Nyles's junior highlight film... Hoe Lee shite I want this guy...

Treadwell is crootin' hard for us. He's trying to bring in Nyles Morgan and Dwight Williams next year.

I agree but in terms of class of 14 by the time they get to campu NB is a senior, Sawyer is gone, Hilton seems a little too shortbut was only a frosh so Im not passing final judgement yet, but with out any other proven besides NB, Sawyer and Golson we should make it a priority in this class if some them dont pan out.

Same with LB MArry will be gone but I was just saying depthv will be needed by the time this class gets to campus

But its good to know LT still has some recruiting to do for us as he seemed to do a damn good job this year

Oh I agree. Coach Freeze seems to think Bobby Hill was a steal and will be a solid DB. All of those RBs arent going to stay at RB and alot of times DB is a natural position to switch too.

I really like Hilton. Kid was the best tackler on the team last year.

Marry will be a senior next year.

We definitely need some more talented DB's.

The DB and LB class next year is remarkably deep. Kind of like the DLine class this year.

Which is great for us with those two positions being our biggest needs.(and OL)

My man focus is ALWAYS OL and DL. Its where you win and lose. You get a great OL and average RBs and QBs look great. You get a great DL and average DBs look like shutdown guys.

What's impressive is that every single tackle he has bad intentions... He really tries hurting people.... And I like it
