I'm not arguing that we aren't struggling some with our DL recruitment, but it isn't like our coaches just forgot how to recruit. There is a very real reason behind it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yup! We are already in the top 2 or 3 for a number of 2016 DL kids. If we don't close the deal on at least a couple of them then I'll worry as there will be no excuses at that point.
If you'll remember,.. we were in the top 2 or 3 for a number of the 2015 kids last year. At one point, there were people on here beating their chests, thinking we may actually land TT AND Payne! It's absurd to act like CRG just started recruiting these kids this year, and is "behind". You dont think he recruited Thompson or Payne, or any of the other highly recruited DT's when he was at UGA? I understand the scheme is different, but those 2 could have played in either. He DEF recruited them before... and he has DEF fallen behind on the DT recruiting this year, no matter how you want to spin it

Sure he did. He also recruited them to be in a 34 and talked it up. Transitioning that relationship isn't as easy as people make it out to be.
It is also still extremely early. We can still land Payne. Thompson is not over just because he committed.
People are acting like the sky is falling with this recruiting class and it is August for christ sake

Yup. I'll throw another one out: Byron Cowart. I vividly remember a reporter from Florida tweeting out that we may have been his leader very early in the process after we offered. Where has that gone? Nowhere...we're not even in the picture for Cowart anymore. I never expected us to get him as he's from a heavy UF feeder school, but he's not even showing interest in us anymore.
We had "early interest" in a lot of top 2015 DL's and have for the most part either fizzled out completely or flat out lost battles to other schools.

Either way we sign who we sign and Garner will develop them very well like he always does regardless of ranking.
