Leroy Jackson me all day…I think this kid is a sleeper…Committing 11/3 though so I hope we aren't late to the party.
Wouldn't tell White no…Just may be a better fit at OG or as a true Zero Tech. But with our misses and the fact we do need 2-3 out of 8-9 rostered DT to be big, run stoppers I would take him.
Haven’t seen him play, but Lee County is one of the best programs in the state. It’s is So. East GA (SOWEGA) to the locals, it’s east of Albany. But honestly, a kid named Leroy…. in 2023, is a take! Kid must be tough as a $2 steak.
Looks good in his stance and actually plays lower than i expected based on his height. Has decent burst off the snap in most of the clips but definitely lazy on some of them too.
Several plays in his highlights of him playing too high but holding a gap and making an arm tackle. Also, not a ton of knocking guys down and burying RBs/QBs or even the smaller OL. Takes on a lot of double teams but lots of drag down tackles. Weird for someone that large. Was gonna make the Jordan Davis comp being that size from Charlotte and a 3 star but his tape was totally different. He was knocking guys back and crushing RBs/QBs and pancaking dudes.
If Mario got the guys that Manny got in the portal we would be in a better situation I think. Next year will be year three most of Mannys guys will be gone and he won't have any excuses to sit on.

I'll keep saying it - if Mario can't recruit at an elite level (top 5 classes annually, at worst top 10), then he offers us ZERO discernable advantage.
I plan to move down to better seats since it will be empty. Bought upper deck way long ago for way too much. Is what it is now
I thought this Bank would be announcing who's flipped away already - That's next week then, right?

That makes it worse, means we can’t even buy them
The bank running out of money
we didnt get a top 5 class last year. I dont believe he had one at Oregon. idk if it's reasonable to expect that. top 10 is what im okay with bc I know Mario will identify talent where others dont at certain positions (OL).
Rankings can sometimes be a bit misleading. I'd rather have a class ranked 13th with monsters at DT, elite DB's, and a solid QB than one ranked 8th with JAG's at those spots. We are currently recruiting those aforementioned spots at a G5 level.

Safety I’m good with. It’s corner, DT and Judd
Gotta close the class with multiple big time DTs and CBs or the team won't really get that much better.
I think the fact that our HS DT's can end up being Daylen Russell and Leroy Jackson is absolutely horrifying

No, it means it’s much harder to land national elite guys when you haven’t shown anything on field in years or shown development.
It’s more like cash back at Publix.
