LB's & Big Uglies

[Ron Swanson]

I'm worried about the numbers. Of the 10 scholarship linebackers we currently have, 6 are seniors. That leaves us with 4 on scholly going in to '14.

They're taking 5 LB's this class and we'll need a couple or more to be EE's.

Two of the four left are named Johnson and Maggit, so that helps.

Not worried about the starters. It's the depth. We saw how thin our LB corps got a couple years ago when we got hit by a rash of injuries when we had about 12 guys on scholly. Now we're talking about half that number, even if we land a couple of big LB recruits.

Even then 10 bodies seems low but you have to sacrifice somewhere for that A11 offense we're busting out

10 is a bit low, but with the right guys I thnk we'd be ok.

It's all about being a team player. Word is Thig might only take 1 LB if CZA feels like he needs 9 WR's this class.

Those not good enough to make the 2 deep can add 25-30 LBs and be converted to LB.

Said it once before, but I'll say it again. Not worried about LB recruiting with Thig. He's a helluva recruiter.

I do worry about the offensive and defense lines, though.

My understanding is the coaches recruit geographic areas and not position. Reasoning is to save travel costs and build relationships with HS coaches. So our LB coach would not recruit LB's unless they happen to be in his area.
