Adding to this..not one of these kids were even remotely interested in UM 6 months ago. Now we have their ears..Sign of a relentless and confident staff. If you are an OL worth your salt, especially locally, you have to see their is a chance to start immediately or at worst be in our two deep the minute you step foot on Greentree.

The two I want really bad are Slaton and Donaldson.

Donaldson for obvious reasons.

Slaton because that guy just looks like he could be a terror at Guard. Just touched by God to play the position.

Agreed, Butch Jones did it at Tennessee (in terms of recruiting), and Peterson at Washington, built the program in spite of average season results, gotta land top 10 classes first couple years, and gotta end this vicious cycle of classes falling part based on results
 
i would get chandler and bates too fck it. This line needs a lot of help and some dont belong here
 
He comin.

Him Donaldson and Telfort would be the best OL haul we've had in quite some time.

And Herbert?
I'm still not sold on Herbert... but I'll trust the staff. I think the big 3 fish they want are Donaldson Telfort and Slaton. With Hillery and Dykstra already in the fold, maybe they pass on Herbert and save a scholly for another position? (I don't know how they're thinking. Just my 2 cents)

Calvin Ashley is the wild card in the deck this year. I think we end up with navaughn,Calvin & Tj. If it's up to me I take Herbert over Slaton & telfort.

Wait... come again!? Where have you seen this?! That would be HUUUUUUGE! Anything to go off here? If we drop Dykstra and Hillery (which idk about that move just because of Deejay) we would absolutely be able to make room for all of them. I do however believe Telfort would be the odd man out here. People seem to be sleeping on Herbert. I think he could be far better than Telfort personally. Plus if we can grab Ashley on top of Slaton, Herbert, Donaldson and one of Telfort/Hillery/Dykstra.... good lawd that would be complete insanity!

I've just heard him discussed quite often with coaches & I know he loved it when he was on campus. Last time I heard his name was about 2 weeks ago. I think we believe we can flip him. It'll still take work though. Same as all these kids they see the opportunity & they know where we're headed. Nows the time to get on board.

el oh el at flipping Calvin Ashley. Don't fall for this, fellas. He's so auburn that I thought he was already enrolled at the school!

Flipping Ashley would be as surprising as flipping leatherwood. Those dudes are signed sealed and delivered.

A truly great recruiting staff will kill it at Miami during their first 3 years no matter what the results are on the field.

I want Hillery. The kid has real potential. I saw him in the one on one drills and he won a lot of those battles. He's raw, but he wants it. He has that dog in him, and every battle he lost, you saw how extremely angry he was. Now the kid I don't want, and no offense to him or his dad, is Dykstra. He just doesn't have it, in my opinion, not to play here. In the Big 10, sure. Not adjusting to the speed is one thing...there's a guard position for that....but he showed very pedestrian strength as well.

I would gladly take Ashley. Give me Donaldson, Ashley, Slaton/Telfort, and Hillery and I'm straight, cuddie.
 
You take the big men WHEN YOU CAN GET the big men.

With the right OL any half-assed RB will look good

With the right OL any decent RB will look very good.

With the right OL any good RB will look fantastic !

You never pass on these guys and "wait 'til next year". You get 'em while the getting is good.
