Name one Plan A dude we've missed on
Huh? I'm as optimistic as anyone, but basically the entire DT board outside of Silvera...Which is fine, not a lot of schools get multiple plan A at same position, but we definitely missed on most of our DT recruiting and his reluctance to move to plan B has us in a jam.
it's dumb to complain about anything when you don't know whether he has missed on anyone yet. None of our main targets have even signed
Taron Vincent, Trevor Trout, Tyler Friday, and probably Michael Thompson would like to have a word with you. All of these guys were as high a target as anyone on our board not named Silvera. We wiffed on all of them.
If you want to say that our DT class COULD end up being "adequate," then I won't argue with you. Silvera, Briggs, Chatman would be a B+ class, but we definitely missed on some of our top targets throughout the cycle. Kool can do a better job transitioning to those targets sooner. He needs help identifying where to allocate his time and resources. There is no shame in that.
Anyone arguing otherwise has an agenda they are trying to propagate. We aren't perfect and can get better at this. Kool needs someone to help him navigate the waters and highlight his strengths as a great DL coach. There is no debating that.
youre leaving out coburn because it casually doesn't fit your argument about us "wiffing". If we get Nesta and Coburn its an elite DT haul. Period.
Secondlyy all those guys you listed weren't anything more than longshots to begin with. Vincent was never considering us. All those other guys barely were either. "wiffing" is us missing out on Nesta Silvera, but thats not going to happen. Its missing on Tyson Campbell/Patrick Surtain. Its not missing on a guy we barely had a chance with.
Again, its not likely we get Coburn, but if we do we have an elite DT haul this year. And if we miss Coburn and get Nesta, Chatman, and Miller then we have a pretty good haul still. People are getting way too caught up in the DT recruiting, when imo, the real problem is at DE as far as DL recruiting is concerned. We will be fine at DT this upcoming season.
