DLine Recruiting

[confucius say]

Interesting tweet from Coach Phelps today. Maybe he knows something. Basically said, come join the D line. "Can't say who, but you know ..."

Not crystal clear, but hopefully this will put a spring in recruiting.

[Hot Rock]

We already have 2 DL/DE already committed, one edge and one DT. I don't know how many we need but one or two more sounds right.

I want to see a big Run stopper Nose Tackle type that can stop up those A Gaps myself. Those 6' 1" to 6' 3 320-350lb impossible to move guys can change a game in this defense up front. We have one of those on the radar.

I see Quentel Jones fitting that bill nicely. I think that would be a really nice piece to the puzzle.

[Op4isabitch]

Maybe the kid that was a VOL Darel Middleton.. I saw where he tweeted he had a great time and will be back to Starkville.

[Santiago]

Trevion Williams, 4 star from south MS, was at the game. Trending well.

This is who

Hopefully we can pull Oatis as well. Has a chance to be a star defensive class

[somebodyshotmypaw]

In this league, you can never have too many quality defensive linemen.

Q is no longer being recruited

[Maverick91]

Q is no longer being recruited

Why?

[KOdawg1]

Get Trevion Williams, and I'll be pleased.

Get Jaheim Oatis, and I'll be ecstatic.

This staff has the chance to close really strong. They just have to do it.

[KOdawg1]

Why?

Too short and/or too fat

[Dawgfan77]

Too short and/or too fat

This and may have issues as well. But we haves moved on

[Cooterpoot]

Don't count on Oatis. That's going to be a tough pull for a couple reasons. Middleton isn't a take.
Williams is on the clock. Pretty solid shot there.
Already have Moss who's underrated.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Is Oatis the kid that Bama offered when he was like in seventh grade or something? I am pretty sure that kid was from Columbia

Yeah I'm doubtful on Oatis too. When is the last time we flipped a highly ranked Bama commit they want.

More like we lead until signing day when they bring the check book out

[Hot Rock]

Q is no longer being recruited

Only place I go is 247 sports for my recruiting info. I usually see them after everyone here is already talking about them.

That is a good place to go read about commits but not so much intel.

Then you're not paying attention. The mods at 24/7 said Q was not a take over two weeks ago.

Xavier Harris from Germantown would be a GREAT defensive flip to get. U talking about a clogger for the middle on every play. I?ve watched him play for 5 yrs and he?s way above average. And, he is 6?7? 360#?s.

He's an OL

I am not on the pay side of it. So, no mod info. So there is that.

[Hot Rock]

Since I am not on the 247 message boards, this is all I had

AS of today at 11:48 am 11-4-21 the Crystal Ball says 100% Mississippi State

[Hot Rock]

https://247sports.com/player/trevion-williams-46109228/

Trevon Williams Crystal Ball is 2 out of 3 State.. Either one would be good news but both would be great news!

You simply cannot win without players and the trenches is where everything starts.

Ya not really, that dude is an offensive tackle at the next level. That is where we would play him apparently.

Well, he played Nose Guard the last 5 games I?ve watched him this year. And, he clogged the s@it out of the middle.

Find a 6'8" NG in the NFL

I'm sure he overwhelms HS kids but he'd struggle there vs college OL with good technique. Too tall.

Vita Vea is 6'4"
Suh is 6'4"
Damon Harrison is 6'3" 340
Daron Payne 6'3" 320

Point being, Harris doesn't profile. The physics don't work for DL

One concern is that Germantown players have always been so soft. I’m hoping that John Lewis is the exception. They don’t hit the way they do at Ridgeland, Madison Central, or MRA. Maybe the new coach will change that. But since the school opened, they have never been physical. Maybe It was Shramek’s fault. But it disgusts me to watch Branson Robinson run out of bounds before getting hit by a 160 pound DB.

Gene Swindell from 247 thinks we might get him.

But, yeah that is annoying. He's a big back.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tupelo has an eighth or ninth grader that looks exactly like Montez Sweat. Need to offer that kid now.
