We shouldn't do that with any kids. And yes, I understand that sometimes misevaluations are going to occur but still.

With the new transfer portal, you're an idiot to take an non-SEC talent.
Actually the problem is he wouldn't take people at position groups for a year or two. And his last classes were too JUCO heavy.

Here we see a class with 21 commits. 9 are JUCO guys. 8 defensive linemen Only one HS offensive lineman that even got into school- and he is a non-contributor. The other two were known grade risks. One WR. Just a complete shit show of a class.

Now let's compare our current class.
2 QB's. Again I would drop Greek. The other is a four star and will be our QB of the future.
1 RB and we probably drop him but will probably add one.
4 WR's- maybe a fifth if we can pull a miracle with Deion. Two four stars and fills needs.
4 OL- Two are HS and I'm sure we will add another and now we have the 2 JUCO's to try to help fill in a spot of need to go with our core of Cross, Smith, and Dollar Bill which is needed to even things out.
1 DL- We do need to add more but we also have to keep in mind that the state is loaded with DL for 2022 and we also have Cooley and Banks on the roster already as well. Hopefully we add Ty Cooper.
4 LB's- Two JUCO's that can help out and one has three years of eligibility to go with Brule. The high school guys may be EDGE rushers types. I'd like to add John Lewis from Germantown.
4 DB's- All high school guys and Daniels and Ellington are legit. Toles has really good speed. Need to flip Calloway back.
Anyway- THIS is how recruiting classes are supposed to look as far as numbers go. And yes, I know that this is a work in progress but we'll sign at least 25 and there will be adjustments here and there but we are at the point where we only have to fill a couple of spots to make sure needs are met and the rest are for immediate needs to bridge the gaps.
What OL did we just add today/this week to the '21 commit list ? Emmerick posted on twitter about it....
Not in this particular case, unless we feel like we will be losing another RB off the roster to the portal. I dont think dropping Howard in order to get Hunter as the RB for this class is worth the looks, or the yield. We gave 3 talented running backs left on the roster. I'd like Hunter as a defensive prospect.
