I don't know, could Noah Ellis move to OL if we can get him in? Pretty sad that M Johnson came in here as an OL coach from another P5 school and he apparently can't pull one OL recruit? He may be a better coach but Looney would have recruited better.

What off field issues are we dropping Sampson for? I know there's a line but damn it must be pretty bad if we're not going after him anymore. We're desperate

Something just didn't seem right with us landing a high rated recruit form Detroit. Kinda like a too good to be true deal unless had some connections down here.

Look - I heard a week ago that there were problems with Sampson but I didn't post on the board, there is a reason that his only official visit has been with Western Michigan and that every school that goes after him has immediately dropped him.
Personally I think it is a good sign that we don't feel the need to sign a guy that apparently has some 'red flags' just because he is a 4 star/All American player and sign him for the rankings alone. I know of at least 3 bear coaches that would sign him based of his 4 star status alone.

OM didn't take him either. So it's got to be worse that ramming something up a kids arse.

We're not signing him and we are pretty desperate on the OL and the kid has talent, so I think its safe to say he his issues are serious, no reason to just post rumors. We are moving on.

God almighty..a one OL sign looks to be a foregone conclusion. We recruit like Northwestern St. in the month of January it seems. If it hadn't been for the early signing period, I'd hate to even imagine what things would have been like by now. I just don't understand it.

Maybe we should put ad in The Reflector- "Offensive Linemen needed for football team. Please contact coach Marcus Johnson".

I think at this point we have to roll the dice. We aren't going to use our scholarships otherwise to my knowledge, so might as well take a risk on the best OL we can get to commit. Plenty of overlooked OL so we can't just pass on using scholarships.

At this point I’d rather just focus on December juco OL then waste a spot on a guy this far down our list unless something just breaks.

I thought we can no longer count December signees back to February, but that they would instead count against the Feb. 2019 25 schollies. Does that not start until next year?

I'm not sure, I just don't want to sign a guy unless we think he can really help us, and usually if you haven't offered a guy before February, you have decided he can't help you.
The focus now needs to be locking up Lovett (I'm being told its done) and beating out Bama/UT for Smith, by the way - I'm hearing we are getting him so there is that. Then turn the page to 2019 and get some OL here in a hurry.
