CB and Safety Recruiting

[BleedOrange81]

What is the reason that we can land some blue chippers? It blows that every year we seem to swing and miss on high end guys. Is it Willie or what…

Ty Redmond

That’s what I was thinking too. Maybe poster was alluding to those we missed out on?

Edit- corner and safety help have been needs for a few yrs, yet little depth. One or two hit the portal but I think OP is correct in that we’ve missed on a few recruits- including portal. Hood was a good edition.

so 1 in five years. That’s reeling them 4-5 stars in by god.

Elite corners shut down WRS and allow the d line time to create havoc. Should be pulling 1 every year and should have 5 to 6 by now on the roster.

Sure. But there are about 130 teams who all want a shut-down corner, or MORE than one. And some kids want to stay close to home, or go where money highest. Meanwhile, not an exact science, some guys like Boo Carter were full of potential, but just didn't pan out. Then there's injuries. Lastly, if one is one of the best shut-down corners, why not go on to The League asap? But, sure, keep thinking most teams should have 5 or 6 shut-down corners on their roster at any given time.

All 4 stars within the last 3-4 years


Why’d you ask a question that is so easy to look up and then get sarcastic with someone who responded

 

[MemphisVolFan1978]

We signed Zay Anderson who is a 4 star CB and Joel Wyatt who is a 4 star athlete listed as a safety on the recruiting forum. Hopefully we get some proven talent from the portal also.

 

[Big Cheese Offspring]

I agree with OP.

I think we have lacked elite DB talent for quite awhile. I'm not saying we haven't had any outstanding DBs during Heupel's regime but we just haven't had enough overall star power in the secondary. Excluding this year, our DL has been carrying the D.

I would like to see Heupel go after an elite DB recruiter as I'm impartial to Martinez. Not a huge fan but he has developed some underrated players.

We need some big uglies upfront...A lot of them. We lose one on every extra point try this year.

I was looking for the blue font. But just in case. Heupel does that on purpose. You ever notice none of them are starters or even 2nd string. Just trying to get a couple more minutes of rest for our defense.

 

[OH-Vol]

OP is correct, For some reason we sign 3* RB’s and DB’s every year.

Our CB portal additions have been amazing

Money. You put it into receivers, QBs, pass rushers, and OTs.

Not safeties

 

[mpfvol]

Heck they all want to play WR

 

[JMSqb11]

Ty Redmond is gonna be a 3 year starter here and likely to be a great draft prospect if he keeps at it. He was thrown to the wolves but he easily surpassed expectations.

 

[CaliVol2009]

We lost Moa, he’s an elite cb/safety. We didn’t want to match Utah’s offer.

 

[OH-Vol]

Money. You put it into receivers, QBs, pass rushers, and OTs.

Not safeties

I don’t buy it, this trend pre-dates NIL. The last elite RBs we brought it were Hurd/Kamara

There’s less elite guys at those positions. Hurd wasn’t the only player with that thought. Outside of Caleb Downs I have a hard time naming a lot of high end 5* safeties

Time will tell. We will see how he plays next yr.

I’m Not a Martinez fan. I don’t like how he coaches the DB to watch the receiver’s eyes instead of DB turning his head to play the ball. Plus, I don’t like the cushion we give receivers.

Just my $.02.

Matthews gone barely seen the field. Turrentine terrible only reason he played was being an upperclassman. Took terrible angle couldn’t tackle..boo yeah that worked didn’t it. McCoy one and done lawley was solid but another one and done hardly elite or a blue chippers prospect out of high school..
