I'm taking up a collection how much can I put you down for?

Lol depends on how much everybody else is putting down

Marques Ford transfer from Rutgers 4 star DE now at Jones JC. Saw that we offered. IYOK do you think we have a shot at landing this kid? I'm sure the bama's and co will come after him soon.

Hard to say this early & he will be a very sought after kid. Also we're doing so much blanket offering tough to get a read on who we're really high on & who have camp offers.

I like the new offering changes. We are now playing like the big boys.

Looks like James Jackson from Goula is either about to commit or has committed.

I'm assuming he is an OG prospect. He plays both DL/OL but I think he is an OL all the way. A little surprised by this one, I figured he had a camp offer, but I'll take all the lineman we can get at this point.

We're recruiting him as a NG

Well we will certainly need to up our recruiting profile a bit especially in the trenches or we are stuck in the 6-8 win range as a program in the regular season. It took having the best QB in the league plus a lot of 5th year SR OL plus some other West programs being a little off to have the 10 win season we accomplished. Just making minor bowl games is nice but 2014 actually gave us a taste of truly competing for something in the SEC. Would be nice if that was a little more regular.

That makes sense, different type of player for us, doesn't fit what we have been doing in the past, but NG could make sense.

Like I said, I'll take all the bodies we can get.

I know that the staff has had a lot of changes, but there seems to be a shift in our recruiting. We're targeting a ton of Juco's and are in the mix for some transfers. Is this a simply due to change in philosophy or are we trying to make up for misses/loses in recruiting?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

The main spot we're targeting a lot of Jucos at is on the DL but that makes sense because we have 6 Sr on the DL. We may end up with 2 OL & maybe a WR or LB. With 30 or so scholarships available it makes sense to get 5 or 6 Jucos this class.

[jumbo]

I don't think it's a change in philosophy as much as it is we have a bunch of spots and need DL depth.

Plus overall we whiffed pretty good at the WR position this last recruiting class.

How good of shape are we for the transfer from Indiana? Looks like he's a pretty solid prospect

[Todd4State]

What does our recruiting breakdown look like next year?

QB- 1
RB- 2
WR-2
Slot WR- 1
TE- 1
OL- 5
DL- 3
LB- 4
CB- 2
S- 2
ATH- 1-2

JUCO's- 5-6

How close am I?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I'd go

QB - 1
RB - 2
WR - 4
TE - 1
OL - 7
DL - 7
LB - 4

Looks like we're pretty close- I'm guessing you rolled JUCO's into your numbers where I just separated them out and you also combined some position groups.

Anybody know why Sahdiq Charles is getting so many CB's to LSU? I know they just offered him but still

That's it plus he's from Louisiana. I think it's a bit of an overreaction but that's what happens when 1 or 2 people make a CB everybody else follows suit.
