Targetting Goldwire, Carson, Briggs, and Thompson.
Mediocre names.
Why aren’t we at least in consideration with some of the bigger names. So far this staff hasn’t prioritized this position like say Alabama or Clemson does. No coincidence they are the top 2 programs in college football right now.
Thompson is the number 2 DT in recruiting rankings (if you put weight in what a bunch of guys that were English and journalism majors think which it seems you do), Goldwire is one of the top juco DTs, Briggs has been widely considered the best DT prospect in Florida for 2018, and they're comparing Carson to McIntosh.
So which one of those names is considered a Canes Lock?
Pete says he feels good about Goldwire, although he signs in 10 days and is still committed to Louisville, so we'll see. Briggs looked like a lock until a week ago due to "miscommunication" fwiw. We have Thompson's last visit so we'll see there. Carson had a good visit but it's hard to tell where we stand.
I'm with you that we need DTs but the staff is doing what they can right now. It's a relatively weak class all together and very weak in Florida. We're trying to find a guy that fits.
Listen. You sound like the Shannon and Golden era. My point is that they can and need to do more. This year is crucial to the long term success of the program. We must break the Shannon and Golden cycle. Do what you gotta do. Drop moneybags if you have to.
