Do you guys buy the Terrance Marshall/Justin rogers package deal? Do you think this makes lsu rethink on rogers?

Cary Hudson's little bro

02-10-2017, 11:39 AM

Paul Jones has said the "package deal" from the very beginning. Or at least, if you can get Rogers then you have a great shot at Marshall.

I ultimately think they go to LSU or split bc Rogers is about like Juwan Adams a couple of years ago from North Pike HS. Close to SEC caliber, but not a top 2 QB on anyone's board.

Ifyouonlyknew

02-10-2017, 12:24 PM

I expect Rogers to commit to TCU before the spring is over.

Big junior day this weekend. A lot of top guys on our board coming to StarkVegas! I know I'm supposed to be impressed by Gerry Bohanon based on his offer sheet, but I'm not seeing the arm talent. Jalen Mayden and Chris Scott are the top 2 for me. Mayden more polished, but Scott has such a big arm...looks like Steve McNair did in HS. (http://www.hudl.com/video/3/2678433/585bea61b018fc1960244321)

Mayden is definitely #1 for Mullen but I wouldn't put Chris Scott in the top 4. I just don't see SEC QB with Chris. I do like Bohanon. My top 4 would be 1. Mayden 2. James Foster 3. Gerry Bohanon 4. Jarren Williams.

Has half of the SEC now but he wants to play QB. A couple schools already have their QB's & Bama has offered him as just an ATH right now. He'll throw for them this summer & that may change.

The team total only had 71 receptions & 11 tds. Cameron had 21 receptions & 3 tds. Once their starting QB quit around the 4th game they had 0 passing game. It's a reason they had to resort to Willie Gay running the wildcat 40 times a game the last 2 or 3 games. If the kid is a legit SEC pass catcher I guarantee Chris Jones will be able to showcase him.

Paul Jones says these are the numbers we project to sign at each position for 2018. I added the names as my guesses.

You add your guesses.

QB 1 - Jalen Mayden
RB 1 - Jarveon Howard, but I like La'Damian Webb better
WR 3-4 - Malik Heath, Devonta Jason, CJ Bolar, Jammal Houston
TE 1-2 - Cameron Gardner,
OL 4-5 - Dolla Bill, Tramonda Moore, Jason Swann, Nik Hogan, Hayden Burton
LB 2-3 - David Reese, Will Robinson and Jett Johnson
DE 2-3 - Jaden Crumedy, Fabian Lovett, James Williams
DT/NG 1 - Jeffrey Johnson
CB 2-3 - Jemaurian Jones, Esaias Furdge, Corione Harris, Nero Nelson
S 2-3 - Marcus Murphy and I don't know...
K 1 - Evan McPherson

QB - Jalen Mayden
RB - Jarveon Howard
WR - Malik Heath & CJ Bolar I feel the best about. Whop & Houston need to pull at least 1 of them
TE - Cameron Gardner
OL - Kwatrivous Johnson, Nik Hogan, we'll see on the next 2-3 but I don't expect any of the other 3 you named in the class
DL - James Williams, Fabian Lovett
OLB - Jaden Crumedy, Deuntra Hyman, Tahj Brown
ILB - Jett Johnson
CB - Jemaurian Jones, Jaylon Reed, Nero Nelson
S - Esaias Furdge, Marcus Murphy
K - Evan McPherson

Of course this won't be the signing class but I feel pretty good about these guys right now.

You don't see us getting Jeffrey Johnson? I do.

Do you have any info on David Reese? We have to lead for him with Stewart Reese here.

As of right now I don't see us getting Jeffrey. If Elliss gets in this summer we really don't need a NG in this class.

If Reese decides early it's FSU or Miami. The longer it goes the better our chances. I'm pretty sure they're dad or both parents went to FSU so they've grown up going to FSU. The reason we got Stewart was because FSU got a big time prospect & it left Stewart with no slot. If David waits til December or January I think the same thing happens & we end up with him.

I have no qualms w/ holding off Key's redshirt after watching Mayden's tape.

Obviously what sticks out is he'd be the fastest & most athletic QB Dan's had. Doesn't show the deep ball that Fitz or Key has, but can put it on the money on short to mid routes. Not to say he doesn't have a deep ball but his explosive pass plays are all busted coverage deep throws or underneath routes that break. Looks like he plays in a system similar to ours, & has experience behind a leaky OL so he should transition quickly. Not sure if he has the same interception rate but he reminds me of a more compact Marcus Mariota.

Still think Key would be the more effective short yardage runner but w/ Mayden's wheels I have to imagine he sees some package plays early to try & bust a big one. Put him in on our 5 wide QB draw & he's a missed tackle away from 6 anywhere on the field.

What's the more informed guys thoughts on Charles Cameron out of Co-Lin via Morton. He was unblockable in HS and did a really damn good job at continuing that last year on a D full of SEC guys. I think he had 6 sacks as a DT and was voted team captain today. I somewhat know the kid so I'm pulling for him. He has 9 offers with one being from Louisville. He's extremely raw and has a huge ceiling. Really good, kind, humble kid who just wants to get a chance at a big time school.

I went over to 247 and saw we have a crystal ball for Charles Robinson (mid-3* TE out of Illinois). I was curious because we already have the kid from Starkville committed, so I watched his hudl.. And this dude is a freak athlete. Great body control. He looks to be a good find if it works out.

I like Charles Robinson...wouldn't say he's a freak athlete though. Super raw, but that's no big deal. Wants to break every tackle like Bear did, which I love. Bellamy may have been the first contact with him. Cool to see Illini insider CB'ed him to us though.

He's much more twitchy than Gardner. Not sure why we took his pledge so early. He's not overly athletic and for as big as he is he doesn't knock the crap out of DB's like he should. Maybe he improves as a senior.

We have a very good chance. He's not committed to Auburn. They were considered to be the favorite but they want him for OLB & we're recruiting him at WR where he wants to play. Unless Auburn changes their approach to recruiting him as a WR, which I doubt they will, we look to be in a good spot.

I know we have some weakness at OL that need addressing, but I am worried this may be the worst WR corps since Mullen arrived. Heath is a must keep, but outside of him we need to do work in what is apparently a deep year for WRs (or just shitty evaluation by Scout.com). Currently, Scout has 69 (69!) WRs at 4* or better and really Heath is all we have to show for it. I know there is some optimism with the guys from NOLA that played with Keytaon, but how probable is that (serious inquiry)?

If that evaluation is decent and 50 of those 69 are 4* or better, is it unrealistic to think we could land another 1-2 from that group?

It looks like he's sticking with Tenn. I lost what little hope I had after reading that he didnt announce the visit to their staff. I never thought this would work out for us anyway.

I think we would still take him at QB if he wants to come even though we already have one committed but I don't blame him for considering others that fit his skill set better. I'd say we'll be in his top 3 but it's hard to tell with him right now.

I'm not saying he'll sign with the intention to change positions. Just that he appears open to it down the road if that's what is best for him.

He's definitely signing to play QB. But if we get him and Mayden beats him out, he may not transfer. That's all I'm saying.

I disagree. You could be right, but I'd assume a SR in college that played at UGA & Louisville would be more mature than this. Again, you may be right & certianly it maybe matters to HS guys, but, I'd be somewhat shocked if things like that mattered to SR in college.

Yeah. The silver lining is that this will give a younger & maybe equally as talented guy more playing time, which could set us up better for 2018.

I mean, let's face it: as good as it would have been to get Shaq, he's a grad transfer & not in the NFL for a reason. H would have helped for sure, but we should have similar talents on our roster

Hot dang !! That kid's got a second gear when he hits the second level, and then a third gear once he clears traffic.
And he is VERY STRONG in the lower body. He has really good hips as well, and his lateral quickness is really really good, as is his ability to hit the small seams and side step initial contact at the LB level, but still has considerable strength to plow through initial contact. Great field vision.
I want that kid on our team.

By the time he signs, we could have Dak and Fitz in the League, with Key or Mayden as the next "Mullen Prodigy" about to go pro. That could speak volumes.... However, you are right, kid seems a little more Pro-style then what we are going after. I do like to brag when kids from my alma mater are being recruited - Blue Devil pride.

Hodges is an absolute must-get for us. I think he could actually turn a mediocre unit into a pretty good O-line. Would be a great bridge between this year and next year, allowing the young guys with decent talent to get another year under their belts before playing SEC D-lines. With Hodges, I think we'd see him and Rankin start at opposite tackles and then have Jenkins at one of the guards. That's 3 guys I would feel really good about.
