Great stuff-much appreciated.

Was surprised, however, by some of the omissions: Felix (RB), Smith, D. (CB), Harley (WR), Landers (ATH), Ealy (OL), Randolph (OL), Burgess (S), Taylor (DT), Phillips (LB), Wright (S),

Wright was in there.
Miami still plans to go the distance for elite safety Daniel Wright. Wright still favors Florida State ahead of Miami, LSU, Alabama and Clemson. Wright plans to announce on National Signing Day.

Harley isn't even a target in this class. Multiple people have said it. They've been cooling on Felix, Smith isn't a take right now, Landers seems solid to UGA, I'm surprised about no mention of Adrian Ealy, Randolph has been an unknown for months, Phillips isn't being as heavily recruited as other LB's because they're trying to avoid leaving SFL but it's higher than Houston.

Dallas has good speed, njoku can run but i just dont think he is that good, and if they get juedy he can run.

The film I saw on Njoku showed him as fast, takes k-offs for team and his brother acknowledges that his younger brother is much faster him..I was impressed with his ability to catch and go....
 
So judging by the comments of the some of our recruiting experts around here, the only trait to look for in a WR is if he runs a 4.3.

**** it, who cares if he can catch, run good routes, knows how to play the position, shows toughness....Nope just has to be fast. The only way he can be considered fast is if he can run a 4.3 in shorts.

Mark Richt said we need to improve our speed at the position, so **** it, 4.3s only.... Nothing else matters!!

WR is 9 parts separation 1 part speed.

Kind of long but somed good **** in it.


Miami is done at defensive tackle with its commit from Jonathan Ford (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Dillard). Ford (6-5, 270) has developed significantly in the last year and has a very good upside. Miami is at their numbers with this take and will look to take two in the next class.

I don't believe this is the case at all, and really hope it isn't...Huge mistake to take only 2 DT in 2 year, esp when both are "add weight" types. I like Ford, but at least 2, and possibly 3 are needed. FSU takes 2-4 a year NO MATTER HOW MANY ARE ON THE ROSTER and let's them transfer out. I'm not saying UM has to marry itself to that approach, but 2 in 2 years is never good...

Kool knows what the fck he's doing with the DL. If anyone's earned the benefit of the doubt on this staff it's him.

I doubt he's looking for the traditional fat kid HS DT who is usually lazy and gets by just overpowering little HS kids. He's already mentioned that he and Diaz want DL who can play in the backfield. Fat HS kids aren't usually great at that.

Big kids who are athletic with good motors but might outgrow DE or not be quite athletic enough to play outside in this 4-3 can put on a little weight, get stronger with Felder and move inside.

Finding a HS 300 pounder who is ready to play DT at a high level at this level right away as a freshman is the rarest find in college football.

Why not recruit guys with big frames and better athleticism who can move inside and be productive after a couple years in the program?
 
Evidence Njoku, Sam Bruce, Ahmmon Richards, & Dionte Mullins all run in the low 4.5's.

I would like us to add Manny Greene &/or I like Mike Harley, but he has to do it in pads first. He's like 155 pounds? I think another WR prospect will emerge this cycle and end up in this class.

Oh def I hear you, and I wasn't arguing with the types of kids being recruited or needing/expecting a kid to be ready to compete at DT as a true frosh...Those are obv very rare. I'm just saying I don't agree with the author of this that we are done at the position, and although I don't like to play armchair recruiter too much over a staff with some proven vets, I just can't see them only wanting 2 DT in 2 year and would be shocked if they are done with Ford.

Great write-up, but no mention of Jalen Patterson.....

Perhaps this recruiting website views him as a WR or ATH....

Carney said kool told him they are taking 3 d-linemen. Which is likely one Dt and 2 D-ends.

Or maybe they're not worried about DT....like the thousands of times before that I've told you. The staff has praised the d-line every chance they've gotten shouldn't that tell you something or do you think you're smarter than Coach Kool ?? and Pete even said they're only looking at BIG names there.
