I heard all Spring about how much speed we had in the secondary. If so, they must be taking very bad angles when trying to cover or tackle. I know 3-3-5 is designed for front three to jam up OL & our LB's to make the tackles, but most are in pursuit 6 to 8 yards down the field. Only ST are well coached and performing at a SEC level. Better be careful who we try to retain with NIL funds (covid players).

I suspect we're having issues with Arnett and Brock managing the defense to a degree. I think we're actually OK as far as the middle of the front seven- Pickering, Crumedy, Jett, and Bookie are solid players. But we lack anyone that can create havoc on the EDGE. I was always confused as to why that wasn't a priority in the offseason. Relying on Jordan Davis was always risky given his injury history. Basically we have a defense that is built to stop the run. Even then we're only average at that.

If we get Petty and Flowers, that will be two of the best dual threat QB's we have ever signed in one class. Pope seems like a tweener. Not sure he is big enough for LB and too small for DB.

I'm not sure about the dual threat QB thing with this offense. We have one on the bench and it doesn't seem like Barbay knows how to use him.

Pope is being recruited as a RB. Not sure if he stays there or not. Might actually end up being a H-Back or moving to defense.

We did that this year, there aren?t many eligible to do that and the impact guys are out of eligibility.

Donterry Russell looks like a guy who is going to be a premium pass rusher going forward. John Lewis has flashed some but is wildly inconsistent. I'm curious to see if Nic Mitchell and Zakari Tillman end up giving us more speed at the two off the ball linebacker spots.

Fully aware on Hughes. He is ?coaching? RBs. Time to get him off the field and move to office role and get Washington on field to coach safeties over Dewhurst.

That?s my point. We went after:

Wright-no one knows
Goode- Waste
Spivey- we screwed up our research on this one
RayDar Jones-hasn?t even dressed out
Rogers-I thought he was overrated coming out. Isn?t getting PT over Jones or Pollock
Colorado/Ark State kid- took him knowing we?d only get next year out of him
Freddie- Same type of player we already have none difference maker
Albert-I think this kid would?ve helped a lot had he not got hurt
Purdue kid-lol

Gotta admit when seeing it like that, you really hope we didn't spend a ton of money on these guys. I don't think we did.

Makes you worry about the evaluation skills of this staff no matter how much NIL $ we paid.

We didn't and we won't. We're going to sign every Juco with a heartbeat. Going to make Sherrill years look Juco-lite

I heard something similar, can’t imagine it’s true.

PJ Woodland has decommitted.

From his Twitter post, I’m assuming we pulled his offer or something close to that, like asking him to wait until February or something.

Anyone know anything.

I'm done with this staff. It's pathetic and most of them had a hand in the poor ass recruiting the last few seasons too.

247 sports has him number 17.

Top 5 player, gotta admit Im not following recruiting that closely, but I dont see where he is that good.

If he commits to LSU, then Im wrong.
