Dorlus was my guy in this class. Loved his frame and athleticism. Kancey was better than I expected. Not surprised he was so productive in college, but I didn't see a first rounder physically. He developed big-time.

I was pounding the table for Dorlus back then when I was coaching him.

He popped offers from Florida, Clemson and Oregon...yet Manny wouldn't even take a sniff. Instead we took Jalar Holley.

I legit think there are posters on here who know more about the talent of our local kids than Manny's recruiting staff did.

Pitt is the outlier bc them boys turn 3 stars into a first rounders like a business. if theyre going after a kid, you better be on them

Their DL coach is a South Florida native who would jump at the opportunity to coach here but for whatever reason, never gets offered a job.

The DL coach for Illinois either got lucky or he has a great eye for talent and is a great teacher because not only did he find Daxon but also Jerzhan Newton from clearwater who might be the 1st DT to go in the draft.

Johnny Newton was recruited by Lovie Smith, but yeah Illinois has been hitting on Florida talent for a long time

I felt like Jess Simpson was a decent developer of talent..,. But this class shows how much his eye for talent was lacking. Like you said manny was clueless on LB and DT evals

I like our current DT commits & think Ingraham has star potential down the line, but imo I think we're making a mistake passing on Kancey, that kid has NFL caliber talent.

His size gets overstated as a knock, but PJ Hall just got drafted in the 2nd round to the Raiders out of Sam Houston St, he's only 6'1 310lbs. Genius Atkins is just 6'1 300lbs he's been a multiple time pro bowler, Grady Jarrett from Clemson is 6'0 305lbs he's the Falcons best DT, Michael Pierce for my Ravens is a great stout NT he's 6'0 339lbs, Sheldon Day from Notre Dame is 6'1 295lbs, years back during the Shannon era Ian Williams from the Orlando area went to Notre Dame was just 6'1 305lbs, Jurrell Casey from USC another pro bowler is 6'1 300+ & of course the best & highest paid interior lineman in the NFL is Aaron Donald from Pitt who's just 6'1 280-290lbs.

Kancey has natural speed & burst that you can't teach, plays with violent hands & is just an overall playmaker. Probably won't kill it in the under armor Olympics but he's a kid with development that will be an absolute disrupter on the interior line as a 3-tech.

Again, I like our haul as is & not saying who we got aren't enough, I'm just saying considering how much depth we'll need at DT in the future he's good enough to play at Miami.

What I’m seeing from the wrap ups is pay attention to who Michigan gets

Mario seems to be aware of this
