a look into aTm's defense

at first glance, it looks like our defense should be better due to the age/experience

Everett Sr.
Matthews Sr.
Alonzo Jr.
Robinson Sr.
Baggs Sr
Bass Sr.
Raven sr
Burns Jr


but, as you break it down, it's not pretty:

quote:

---

2010 - Robinson was a 3-Star who didn't think he'd play this year.
2011 - Everett was a 3-Star
2011 - Baggs was a 3-Star
2011 - Burns was a 3-Star

2011 - Matthews was a 4-Star
2011 - Raven was a 4-Star

2012 - Alonzo Williams 3-Star TE recruit

Was Bass even recruited? Did he go baseball first?

Let's not pretend we have stacked the talent on Defense.

We have 2 guys starting on D that were playing HS last year. one recruited to play baseball, one recruited to be TE and one that believed his career was over, after Duke.

WE have 7 more true freshman on our 2-Deep chart. Of the 31 players on our 2-Deep... 9 were in HS last year.

now, compare this to Alabama (who absolutely cleaned our clock)

2010
Nick Perry - 4 Star S

2011
Trey DePriest - 5 Star ILB
Xzavier Dickson - 4 Star SDE

2012
Landon Collins - 5 Star Safety
Reggie Ragland - 4 Star ILB
Cyrus Jones - 4 Star CB

2013
Jonathan Allen - 5 Star OLB
A'SHawn Robinson - 5 Star OT converted to NT





this is why we suck so hard on defense. all of our 4* and 5* talent are YOUNG guys (garrett, watts, hall, etc.). All of our upperclassmen are average AT BEST.


and average won't get jack **** done in the SEC
