Miami to visit Briggs today before his OV

[OBLIVION]

The most important recruits every year are in the trenches. You don't become elite without filling them positions with big time players.

 

[Cane44]

IMO order of importance and not knocking the backend of list, just my needs/skill level list:
Tyson / Briggs / Goss / chatfield / Xavier Peters LB / Ezzard

 

[jw410]

Lol don't get mad when he goes to fsu... Our close is gonna be weak.. Richt s hit the bed losing 3 games in a row.

 

[Jassid82]

I'm no DT expert, but I don't get why the board is so lukewarm on this kid. Seems like a kid with a big frame, a lot athleticism and great stats that can grow into a stud. Hope we land him.

After seeing his incredible production and hearing his coach says he's built like a tank with plenty of room to fill out and that he plays with a huge motor I'm with you all the way. This dude is a big-time prospect, and I'd love to have him.

Briggs is a and always has been a baller

I think the only negative on Briggs is he isn't quite big enough to contribute right away. No biggie, most DTs aren't. He's a lean 260-ish right now but there's lots of room for him to grow.

This. It is the only reason most are lukewarm. Because he cant help us next year. Needs to add weight. But in 2 years he will be a stud.

Hope we lock up Briggs but I definitely don’t trust him after he said he was going to sign with FSU before Jimbo left. If that’s the case and Jimbo was such an important factor why hasn’t he visited Texas A&M I’m sure Jimbo still interested.

 

[DerekDohrman]

we have room for 7 more.

we have 57 guys returning(as of today), which leaves room for 28 under the 85 limit.

we're at 21 now, including nesta and Boulware

EDIT: is our long snapper on scholarship? thought i remember reading that somewhere

To me all those guys can be number one....they r all high quality savages

 

[Dwinstitles]

We closin i dont care how good TC visit is at uga we closin

How good can it be, it's gonna be 24 degrees? lol

Sorry Rattler, but I am hoping cuz has a bad trip. Lots or turbulence, lost luggage, explosive diarrhea, etc.

Whose Rattler?

TC cuz

Does he post here?

Shadow's post made it sound like you (Dwinstitles) was Rattler and that Dwinstitles was your pseudonym.

Im not him but he does post here check the tyson thread

Wish I had your confidence man. I’m becoming a mope on the close down the stretch.

Come on, Inday. Steve Wiltdong feels a vibe and then CB's Tyson to UGA, and says if not them then Alabaga? Lol - He's been here more than anywhere else and it isn't close, for starters.

Tyson doesn't tell his own family what he's gonna do. Meanwhile, other kids say he seems Miami, Brooklyn says he left the Army game talking Miami and Rattler, his cousin, says he hasn't named a leader and it's always been Miami and some other flavor of the month school.

We the leader, mang. They can roll in all the baseless CB's they want. It doesn't change anything until Tyson says so. I'd rather be in our position here than anyone else. To quote Jesse Jackson: #KeepHopeAlive

This is all well and good, but I mean beyond TC.

I’ll say what I think and take the heat. We’re all family here. I think this staff has grossly underestimated how difficult it is to secure good to great DTs, and the elite coach is not an elite crooter. We should not be midnight offering guys this late in the cycle. That never works with DTs. They’re the QBs of the defense.

I’m concerned that they thought they had Jobe for as long as they did. We knew he was leaving for months. Richt has a reputation as an elite crooter and I think he still is, but that was a red flag on his staff. My fear is that somewhere there is a disconnect between hope and reality. And I’m still jilted by their approach to defensive personnel. Taking one LB is mind bending.

I want to be dead wrong, I want this post to be resurrected and publicly humiliated. But my gut is my gut, and right now it’s a queasy quagmire of questions and quandaries. I foresee a lot of whiffleball down the stretch.

***Caveat: I know it’s going to feel exponentially worse than it actually is, because this class is 80% locked in and elite. There are fewer targets now so it’ll feel worse because we’re so hyper focused on them.

Agree with everything but not really on LB.

Next year Smith Perry Pick Shaq McCloud Wilder Jennings Steed Joyner plus the amount of time Carter spent in the box and I can understand only taking 1 unless our starting LBs are as dumb as our starting DTs and leave early then yes there should be more LBs in this class.

According to the board the players we are get were always coming here no matter what and are never as good as the kids who don't come here who we "should have" gotten

 

[CANE1775]

I'm not lukewarm on Briggs' ability, I'm lukewarm on believing that we are in the lead. I'm hoping like **** we sign him, but I'm waiting until he faxes in his NLOI before I exhale.

I read in an Orlando paper recently on the recruits from that area and on Briggs he is currently over 260 lbs. and as you said about frame, his coach also mentioned he has the frame for 300 without loss of athleticism.

he may be too light to contribute this year but he will be after a year on campus and the S&C program--285-290. Building for the future with quality depth.

If it wasn't Rattler's cousin, I'd throw a minor STD onto your list as well.

Not wishing an STD on him? I hope he appreciates how the fans already think of him as family.

 

[Swampcity]

Lots of noise and theory going on.

 

[Texxcane]

****, even the mods are getting soft around here. The same coaches that locked in an early signing day class that rivals any in the country are the same coaches that are going to put a exclamation point on this class by closing strong. This isn't the old staff, they haven't given me reason to doubt them thus far.

I agree to a point about the defensive numbers but they are in a better position to know than we are. Maybe they really like the freshmen LBs from last year, maybe they like next years prospects much better, maybe they didn't love this years crop of LBs or maybe it was a combination of all that, who knows.

I'm more concerned about DT but I like our 2 deep. Just have to keep them healthy, close on Silvera/Briggs and maybe a 3rd if the right one presents itself and go to town next year. The Jobe situation concerns me less, what were they supposed to do stop recruiting him? Sounds good in theory but it wasn't going to happen, and everyone would have lost their **** if it did. Maybe it would bother me more if he was the focal point of our DB class but that's not the case. I love our DB class as is and if we get TC, then I just don't see how anyone can say anything about the DB class.

I agree, when watching the NC game the thing that stuck out the most between them and us, other than QB, was their Dline, I hope Richt saw the same thing
When you have a 5 man rotation of monsters up front it sure as **** makes it easier for the back end. Plus being able to constantly keep up that kind of pressure just wears the other team down, and mentally as much as physically. That's one thing I lobed about Butch, top priority for him

Nesta, Briggs, Chatman, Campbell, Chatfield, Ezzard, & Goss. #watchthisfinish

I just think most people was looking for Day 1 starters. I don’t think he fits that mold but he will get burn over the next 2 years

[simplycanes]

Briggs, Campbell, Chatfield, one more OL, one more DT.....then we good....Right?

Ezzard who Dugans is currently visiting right now.

Probably scheming to flip to FSU per Nole80

Not to go full on Paranos but I have a funny feeling Gerald might be a possibility
