doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 After we sign Pickens, and I feel like he will sign with us, who do we want to fill the remaining slots? I would love to see us sign at least 2-3 more OLs, but if we go after grad transfers it could be a few months before this is determined. Here is my guess and it is only a semi-educated guess on numbers to fill. 2-3 OL 1 RB 1 WR 2-3 LB 1 ? There are several names out there that I cannot remember off of the top of my head, so feel free to add names and positions for who you would like for us to finish up with.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 There will definitely be a DL or two in the final group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are any spots left the staff is looking to use it on another safety. Personally I'm torn between that & trying to find a GT Center.

I would be pleased if their "plan" works out, but my confidence level that AU will sign 2 more OL and 2 additional LB is not high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a good shot at signing 2 more quality LB even though they may not be highly rated. I also think we will get 2 more OL but not sure on the quality. 1 of them will likely be a GT.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 I really hope that Ashley gets his act together and develops into a quality OL whether it be at the guard or tackle position. If Prince Sammons could get it together as well, would be a huge help along the OL. Any news on Tega? IF he comes back, this would be a huge, huge bonus & like signing a quality 4 or 5 star OT.

I agree that it would be huge but not like signing a 4-5 start recruit which we should be doing.... They would be here 3-4 years to kick A and take names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I don't care if the player is a GT, JUCO or HS, just give me 3 good OLs and 2 good DLs. Y'all can have the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
