Of those 4, I’m most confident in landing Crowell and Edwards. I feel good about our chances of landing Griffin but gotta watch out for Texas with him. Still feel good about CD Morgan but not as confident in landing him as I am with the other three. Not that my opinion means anything..

But if we close with the majority of the recruits we’re trending for right now, this will be a top-2 class at the very minimum.

I think we’re going to be good on the recruiting front. Obviously, things can change very quickly in the NIL recruiting landscape, but Wiltfong says we could very well land both Jett Washington and Jireh Edwards (two top-3 safeties). I feel pretty good about Xavier Griffin rolling with the Tide. Also heavily in the mix for top-75 DL Nolan Wilson, Tank Jones, Cederian Morgan, and Ezavier Crowell - just to list a few off the top of my head. I wouldn’t worry about the class as it currently sits; things look very bullish for CKD and staff.

How good is Darby? The one I want in this class is Feaster. Dude looks like a serious player.

How are y’all feeling about holding on to Keys?

I concur. This would be a great season for the team to open up a can of whoopass too. FSU to open. Play the dawgs in Athens. Revenge against TN & OU. The annual LSU beatdown. Maybe even a chance to send Reverend Hugh packing if we bludgeon Aub. I’m amped to see our guys take the field.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

I remember a while back someone posted here that he won the starting job and was doing some good things at Pitt as QB1. I checked his stat sheet later on in the season and it looked like he wasn’t getting any playing time down the stretch - didn’t realize he was injured though.

Hope he does well. I thought he was pretty talented coming in and would eventually challenge for a starting spot at UA. Was disappointed he portal’d so quickly.

Beaman going to be an animal this year.

Supposedly he was found with all full mags in his kit.

I’ve read this as well. I believe the source was the guy from the village that saved his arse.

I’ve also read that the team (I think it was Delta?) that went in to retrieve the bodies of the fallen SEALs said that there were few, if any, deceased enemy combatants.

Offseason boredom catching hold. Curious what people think of the defense this upcoming year. The ILBs are a bit of a question for me with Lawson’s injury. I expect the secondary to be really damn good (and Deep) - best in the conference.

The defensive front intrigues me the most. We have a lot of guys in that room with unique skills sets. It sounds like we have ridiculous depth at Bandit with Overton, Renaud, and then Collins/Keeley. The interior is somewhat of a question mark behind Keenan and Smith. If Smith becomes the game-wrecker that we think he will be, and Beamen steps up and provides consistent disruption, our defense could very well be championship caliber. I also think Edric Hill might surprise some people this year.

As for the Wolf position; we need some seriously efficient pass rushing from these guys. We assume Russaw makes that next step in his game, but I think Pierre is a sleeper to get major playing time and have a huge impact. The interesting thing here at the Wolf position is we now have veteran Jah Marien Latham moving to this group. Lots of competition for snaps within that group (haven’t even mentioned Justin Hill who has received some praise this Spring).

Interested to hear the boards’ thoughts on this side of the ball.
