Yep. When our fans were freaking out about Danley and the word was the we weren't really recruiting him... Makes sense doesn't it?

Honestly, I wish the NCAA would allow us to sign everyone in December and just get it over with.

It's very interesting to me how recruiting web sites choose to promote certain players in an effort to make fans put pressure on a coaching staff to take a player that may not be as good as the one the coaches want.

Just noticed rankin has been bumped up to a 4-star (95 ranking) on 247.

Hev wants to find 3 tackles, 3 guards, and 2 centers. Here you go:

Tackle: Rankin, Senior, Warren
Guard: Malone, Desper, Flowers
Center: Clayborn/Calhoun

Don't really see anyone else being a factor except for Elgton Jenkins.

If we took johnson from juco, RSed him, and then get nothing from him, we messed up somewhere

It happens, we've addressed it by grabbing Rankin.

While lacking experience, this could be the most talented o-line Hev has had to work with

If johnson won't be used, it would've been nice to have that scholarship for derouen.

Derouen just got CBed to USCe

Honestly, if you have to redshirt a Juco, you probably messed up somewhere. Johnson was not a highly recruited player out of Juco. Who knows, maybe he will take off in the offseason. He has gotten stronger since the fall.

Agree, if you are a juco, and redshirt, we missed.

I really wonder what exactly happened with Derouen? Usually, if Hev offers and takes a guy early he really wants him. Wonder if maybe he just didn't progress during his SR season as expected or if we've just got prospects THAT much better wanting to jump on because if they were reasonably equal I would assume we would stay with the guy that jumped on board early.

Yep, it would mean we got "Trapped" again so to speak. Its happened before.

Johnson and Jenkins will be factors also

We talked about burning Johnson's RS when Robinson went down. Johnson will be in the mix somewhere

I was just about to post this. Jocquell would have played some if it wasn't for his injury.
