Uhmm...5* star guards are pretty rare. Tatum has nothin to do with Dickerson..they are going to be at different positions. Evidently the staff just doesn't want LD...that is weird to me. We went through OL like crazy thus past season. I've never heard of anybody passing on a 5* OG.

IMO, the reason why they are rare is because you can develop them easier than tackles. You can take a tackle and make him a guard, but it's very difficult to take a guard and make him a tackle. Tackle requires a specific skill set along with physical attributes. There are 3 star guys who develop into great guards all of the time. I believe this is what our coaches are thinking, and they would rather take more athletic OL at tackle and convert the ones that don't pan out at that position.

If they are passing probably a good reason

If they are really passing on LD..then why is he here on the most important recruiting weekend of the year?

They aren't passing on him. That's just some stupid talk that typically comes out of boards like this. Dickerson and Brown are probably the top 2 most important needs, with the others (Kongbo, Warrior and Byrd) close behind.

It's not ridiculous what he is saying. It makes sense if you actually think about it

Ok, let's actually think instead of "Oh nooooo someone said we are passing on an olineman what a retard!!!!!!"

Warrior is in. Legacy, and safety is a huge position of need.

Brown is in if he wants in. Elite DT. After next year depth has a few question marks after Shy and Kahlil.

Kongbo is a take. See: Brown for same reasoning.

Byrd is a take due to how versatile he is. He is a 4* at CB or WR. Could potentially be a two way player and WR recruiting this cycle puts him higher on the board.

Now, if one of them doesn't want in and Dickerson does (a very likely situation) then he is absolutely a take. It isn't hard to see he probably projects as a guard. Now, if you'll take a peak at the roster, we have a lot of young depth there. Not to mention we have 3 OL commits already in a smaller class. That would make that not a huge position of need. Taking Dickerson would simply be a luxury then.

Again, no one is saying he isn't a take. No one. It is being stated that we have a few needs higher on the board, which is absolutely true. If you weren't such an azz all the time you'd be a decent poster. But you're a huge azz all the time
