Trez was committed to UGA when we started pursuing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. so glad DB is coming back for his senior season. I hope Davidson, Tega and other players will come back for 2019. If we get Davidson back and Coe healthy, our defense could be special and maybe better than 2018. I hope that DB we be able to recruit the other players to come back for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are expected to get big rating bumps. One is a freak athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle2423 357 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ideal finish- 1 WR- Pickens 1 RB- MAR/Griffin 2 OL- 1 guard (Bell), 1 tackle (that JUCO tackle/don’t know of any others/GT tackle) (hopefully a HS OT) 2 LB- Brothers, Russel 2 DL- Cox, Moore Best available with the last spot (FB/LB Kameron Brown, another OL (preferably tackle), or another DB [Hampton, DJ James] I’d guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that will be starting are not unproven in the least. OL, on the other hand, is scary when considering ability, development, and experience. I don't think I've ever seen a post as factually inaccurate as this one. The OL has four starters returning, possibly all five depending on what Tega does and a lot of backups. How good they might be is another question, but the warm bodies are there. Linebacker lost all three starters and McBryde, who should have been a 5th year senior, is questionable with head/neck injury. Returning we have two that have played some, three that played very little and one signee. No other position on the team is as thin as linebacker. (Don't start with the "base defense is two LB's stuff") We use three starters, one may come out at times depending on down and distance, but there are three starting positions and it takes three guys with different skill sets to fill those positions. If we were only two deep with no returning starters at any other position there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth. We desperately need to shore up the LB recruiting this cycle. Pappoe is good but he's only one guy and we need three or four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all our non SR DL coming back or leaning to come back it now looks like we take 1 more DL. If we get Moore it looks unlikely we will take Cox as of now. At OT I don't think the juco is a take due to academic concerns. If we do get a transfer OT it appears more likely right now it would be an undergrad transfer instead of a grad transfer.

I feel like this may be a redundant question, and I don’t mean it to be, but are there any high school OTs we’re even known to be looking at or evaluating? This may have been answered, but I haven’t heard of any lately off the top of my head. What do you think our chances are of signing one? I’m sorry again if you’ve had to answer this multiple times. Also, I guess I meant my ideal list. I just like the idea of stocking up both lines of scrimmage. Just my preference though. And Cox is from my area (Mobile/Baldwin County), so I just hope we get him with Moore (who I think is a stud). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
