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

Thomas Davis decommits.
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.
Always is going to happen in recruiting, especially this year.
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.
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.

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.
We do have Pickering for at least 2 more years, we signed Cooley last year, & we're going to 3-3-5 where need less war daddies.
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.
I wouldn't take any less than 4. I still think 5 would be a good number. You also have to remember with this 3-3-5, the hybrid DE/OLB position can use kids who are tweeners.
None of the kids above fit that bill, but just something to remember when you see us signing HS DL.
