Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Most BVS scenario ever...

King commits. Bailey pissed. Decommits wins Elite 11 gets 5 star. Goes somewhere in our division.

 

[Sleegro]

This is the guy that Pruitt put in a coffin at his introduction press conference. I don’t think he’s ever been “in the know”.

What did he do? I don't remember that.

 

[ChismsHeadband]

To be honest, because of the injury year last year, 12 months to work out might not be the worst case scenario for Solomon. But it kills our DL depth this year.

Without Solomon, we'll be relying on these guys in the 2-deep:

Emmit Gooden
Matthew Butler

Greg Emerson
Kivon Bennett
John Mincey
Kingston Harris

Savion Williams
Daryl Middleton
Elijah Simmons

Key:
Has accumulated stats in at least 6 games in 2018
Has at least one year in the program
Is in the first year in the program

We already knew we'd be relying on some unknowns. And Solomon has the tools, but was too injured at Michigan to be the force he was recruited as. Big 'if' here, but IF we can rely on three DL outside of Butler and Gooden, we should be serviceable at the minimum.

The strength of this team will be the back end. The back 7 will make the front 4 look decent.

I thought Bennett moved to olb. But I still think every player on that list has a good amount of potential to be good players this year. Also add Garland. We may not have a lot of returning production on the dl but that is potentially a pretty solid 3 deep rotation. Solomon would probably help but I don't think it would kill us if the waiver got denied.

I sure hope so. LB 2-Deep as

Darrell Taylor/DeAndre Johnson
Bituli/Ignont

And then JJP, Hank, Crouch, and Reid filling out the other two spots.

Btw, a little off topic, but we need to get the 'Hank and Tank' trademark going. Swain was the one who said To'oto'o goes by Hank, so...

lol I thought it was Garland that moved to LB. I could've gotten that wrong

 

[Sleegro]

I think Garland is a dt and Bennett dropped weight to olb

Don't forget Harrison and Bennett. And Allen

 

[Sleegro]

Bennett down to 251 olb, Garland up to 303 dt. According to roster.

Cherry Coke Zero rocks.

One of the hidden secrets of creation the Lord laid for us to discover.

Years later...

Bennett? You mean Ol Carrott Garland?

 

[Sleegro]

Bennett? You mean Ol Carrott Garland?

Kivon Bennett was told to lose weight to 251lbs and move to his more natural position of olb. Kurrott Garland added weight to 303lbs and is a dt.

Biggest weakness and biggest strength from positions groups for 2019. What you guys got?

IMO:

Strength - DB
Weakness - DL

Serviceable across the board for offense.

Both trenches are immediate weaknesses that are getting better, but still the softest spots.

Strengths are WR, DB, and LB (love the competition there)

Without Solomon, we'll be relying on these guys in the 2-deep:

Emmit Gooden - .8933 ****
Matthew Butler - .8725 ***

Greg Emerson - .9441 ****
John Mincey - .8614 ***
Kingston Harris - .8452 ***
Ja'Quain Blakely - .8649 ***

Savion Williams - .8913 ****
Darel Middleton - .8702 ***
Elijah Simmons - .8734 ***
Kurott Garland - .8466 ***

Key:
Has accumulated stats in at least 6 games in 2018
Has at least one year in the program
Is in the first year in the program

Added 24/7 stars & composite as well as the rest of the DL listed on Summer Roster that were missing and removed those not listed as DL.

Ultimately we need to see everyone play above their rating honestly. Be nice if Emerson could emerge as the highly rated 4 star he is and he's just a Redshirt FR so it's not likely he should be written off yet.

Yikes we need way more depth. DL probably worries me just as much as OL

Emmerson, Harris and Garland are all redshirt freshmen and Mincey is a true sophomore. I don't think we can write any of them off yet. All 4 have had a full year and offseason to develop now and may be ready to contribute.

 

[scvolfan7]

All states should do what CA is doing with this bill. It would instantly kill the NCAA and college sports would be much better

Yeah the unit (OL too) is still very young, which is promising. Especially since this staff "stole" a year being able to redshirt all 3 of those young guys last season. Might have cost a game but I think long game it was the smart move.
