ellitor 33,062 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 The OP will be updated as changes are made. The most interesting OVs this week IMO are Joiner, Alaimo, Cam Taylor, & McCreary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 We’ll hopefully lockdown Coynis after this visit and he’ll shut down his recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is one who wants in but isn't a major target for AU now. I think it depends on how AU closes at the high school & juco levels, particularly at OL & CB. If we only get 1 more at each position, gotta think there is a real possibility for a GT there. On more thinking, don't be surprised if we take a GT RB if 1 is available the staff likes. Not sure what they think on the VT GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredst 9,064 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I’m most interested in Wonnum. Was kinda expecting him to sign with USCe early. I guess staff feels like we still have a real shot with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we can afford to lose him based on our future state of DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can't afford to lose him based on the potential he showed at the UA All Star game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't get many interior DL last year and Coynis is really our only interior DL this year. After next year, we will have several SRs and we will have several JRs that will likely jump to the NFL. We are going to need him and any other big men we can find to fill those holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are counting Marlon as a DT then Brown is the only 1 I see there. Yes 2019 is a big year for US on DTs but it's that way virtually every year.

Yeah I was counting Marlon as a DT because he rotates through there more than a true DE would. Yeah, Newkirk is 1 to have, but 2 interior DL per class sure doesn't give you much room for a project or a hit\miss type situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but that's Garner's average size & it seems to have worked well overall so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Traveon Samuel from Louisville has announced he’s transferring as a GT. We recruited him as an RB out of HS. But played slot at UL. You think we touch him? From Phenix City fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Cam Taylor, anyone? Severely underrated and will be a take unless we hit on several of the much higher rated guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
