Our recruiting class
- Thread starter tngamecock#
- Start date
We have them 4 deep and loose 4. I think i see two comitts there plus some playerscoming along like Blackshear. I am not sure what is going on with Whitlow and Wideman.
Agree 100%. Championships are won with the defensive line. Look at bama, year after year they dominate the LOS with DL. It was also the key to success a few years back. To me this should be our #1 priority. Obviously nobody on the current roster is capable, or they would be playing already. I too wonder what happened to guys like whitlow and blackshear?????
Tell me more about this loose 4 you speak of. Are you implying they're defensive ends playing wide 9 techniques or what?
Sounds like a few girls I have been with....sorry couldn't resist.
We loose Grifin, Lamin, English and Lewis. We redshirted Thompson, and Taylor and return Thomas and Smith. If we hold on to Webb we shoukd be better.
We really got after recruiting the DT position from 2012 through 2015.
5 guys total: Hood, Griffin, Lamin, Stallworth, Wideman

Wow. Just hit me that we lose so much on the defensive line. Spurrier left nothing for Muschamp, I mean absolutely nothing. The reality of this dumpster fire is mind boggling. Spurrier should have walked away at the end of 2014. I truly appreciate what Spurrier did for us by coming here, but this is painful. Just hoping Muschamp can help us recruit our way out of this mess.
totally agree, Jucos just make it harder. They almost never live up to hype and as soon as they are producing, they are gone. They are also used heavily in negative recruiting. "do not go to Carolina, you will be there working hard and they will just bring in a juco to take your job"
Yes and we still got to six wins. That's the positive spin at least. The way we played CU is the way many people thought we'd play every game this year. Turned out better than I thought for sure.
I noticed that though supposedly we are redshirting 6 o linemen. I don't have the time but if someone feels crazy they can post a scholarship breakdown of our o and d linemen that would be helpful. I too am concerned. I posted before that I am not sure what is worse our d or our o line. One coach is in his first year and the other is in his 7th (is that right). Seems like these two position groups would be absolute priority.
They have been lacking for last two years. Nothing better than a 5.6 in two years. I know the OL struggled this year but the cupboard could look crazy bare after next year.
Of the 7 in the '16 & '17 class, 1 has an SEC offer (Douglas - UF, Clemson, Penn St, Miss St, etc...) There are a few other with mid level ACC offers. All the recruits form 2015 had really good offer lists

The staff has to recognize this right....right? No def tackles in the class I don't think. Sigh.

Playing with 7 guys on defense is even slipperyererer
We played with like 3 this season & managed to eek out 6 wins, with only 2 of 'em perceived as quality wins.
I agree really need to land 2 of the guys we are still in hunt for, Moore, Gray, and Drake, and they have started to recruit lightly recruited fairly new to football, basketball player to Tackle, Jordan Rhodes.
We need some Tackle prospects badly

Whats up with Wideman such a battle to get him and never hear anything about him good or bad
I'd be surprised if blackshear ever gets on the field for us again. I fully expect something to derail him again. Another arrest, grades, transfer or something. He's so talented I hope he gets it together but he seems like he makes bad desisions.
This thread is really tampering down my enthusiasm for our defense next year.
That's the spirit. But in reality by all accounts he has gotten his life together. He couldn't play much this season due to the muscle mass he lost after being shot. I'm sure he has and will get stronger both during this season and in the spring and summer.
True....but on the bright side I have laughed out loud on a few occasions while reading it. I guess at this point, I'll take a good laugh
