The 545 pound front squat and jumping out of the pool almost have me sold without watching any game film.Quote:

Sucks because I think he's a good player, but at least he did it early. Gives us plenty of time to replace him or re-recruit him.
either way, there is going to be a lot of this this year due to the lack of visits.
Him jumping out of the pool if freakin' incredible.Quote:

Yeah, and he mauled a lot of guys in that video. He's in a wing offense, so blocking schemes would be massively different, but seems to be smart. Know a guy in that staff and happened upon a retweet/like of the kid jumping out of the pool. WOW. He's an aggressive, but smart, mauler of an OL. He would be a really good OG.
Not really. It all starts up front. Our new look O-Line with the different spacing may kill us. Will it translate to SEC blocking/protection schemes?Quote:

I think your concerns are fair, but just as fair is to believe that a coach that has coached in the SEC, Big 12, Big 12, & Pac 12 & never failed over the course of a 20+ year career that has surely seen every scheme & type of player face his offense, will figure it out.Quote:

So Leach and his staff have proven so far that he can recruit talent at QB and WR. The system recruits itself. Still have to reel them in, but I think it's safe to say, this staff has passed expectations so far in regards to recruiting. They put in work.
Just need to get some D-linemen. That's really my only concern with this staff.
Agree. It's a tough year to judge them because there are virtually no D-linemen in Mississippi this year. Ty Cooper is the only one & we'll likely get him.Quote:

I'd like to see a DL class of
DE:
Ty Cooper
Nick Dimitris
Demarcus Smith
DT:
Byron Murphy II
Devin Lee
I think that'd be a solid class considering the weak crop of in-state talent. IYOK feel free to let me know if that's realistic or not.
Something we will have to get used to is that we are only playing 3 upfront. If we use five scholly's on DLs then we may be shorting another position.Quote:

All of those guys are realistic but I'm not sure we take 5 DL maybe 4.Quote:

Even if all those listed do commit, we likely won't sign some of them, due to distance.Quote:

Teddy Knox is supposed to commit sometime this month.Quote:

He fell in 247's rankings today and that is yet another sign where recruiting sites lose credibility to me.
How can anybody move right now when nothing is going on or am I missing something?Quote:

Not a fan of this. Gives me a John Emery feel.
Why extend the commitment date?
The situations aren't remotely close. He never had an official commit date. He said it would be sometime in June. Now he's decided to commit on his birthday.Quote:

FWIW, here's what my source says about Sawyer Robertson's baseball ability.
"Awesome body, strong and athletic. Swing has some stiffness to it so I'm not sure if he'll hit. 5th round type prospect".
This means he'll be scouted heavily but likely won't get the money have a chance at going pro.
