Right now I'm not even sure our DL talent is G5 level. It's more on FCS level. Something has to change there when u have this much playing opportunity, have the reputation we do producing DL and still nobody wants to come.

If there not working no need in waiting, cut bait now.
2 big 4 stars and we aren't done
Lockhart and Mitchell are big ass grabs!
Mitchell is close with Hurstzler........ he needs talent on the D side of the ball.
Three 4 star players this week (1 is a 2026)
The only way to get out of the vicious portal cycle is to sign HS talent and Juco bounce backs. Then you can pick and choose your portal instead of taking the left overs.
Now is an ideal time to be a juco DLineman because that?s all David Turner is offering right now! Geez man?it?s embarrassing. Competing with UAB and Coastal for Juco kids is not good. The kid we took last year Sheppard, whom 34 and Bucky deemed ?NFL future?, looks overmatched on this level and yet we continue to offer some of the same type of kids.
Hardy is in the boat
Top 25 class currently. Basically down to a few HS prospects but mostly portal and Juco. Juco class is stout and it needed to be, I think we'll see two more jucos in the boat soon. Portal is where we need to make hay!
So I did a brief scan through of the recruiting thread and it seems as if there's hope for Cunningham yet. What about Dear and Knight? Are we okay with not getting Knight since we have Taylor? Weird to see Notre Dame get one of the best players in the state, but maybe that's an area where NIL helps.
I would take Taylor over Deuce for our offense. He is pretty much the prototype for a Veer and Shoot scheme.
Cunningham I don't know. I would definitely like to take him. I wouldn't be surprised if we get Dear and Cunningham back in the portal if they go to Bama first. Much better chance at flipping Cunningham IMO especially if we perform well the second half of the season.
