Now today Johnson is a no go for AU and AU is now more confident in Bryant's signature. I will admit I don't no Johnsons ability to play Buck and just as uninformed about Bryant's ability to be a true DE. Just going by positions listed in their profiles. Also I know there's that guy that will say it would be ideal to have both, but now that's not in the cards. My question is this: what are the opinions on those that follow recruiting on this potential trade off? Does Johnson or Bryant have a greater ceiling for AU? I know AU has holland coming in to replace Lawson as well as James III and Coe (and probably others not mentioned at either spot) to play DE. In my opinion that has to be considered in the value of each. Sorry in adavance if this was previously asked. I think Bryant is a greater need/better fit. We already have big bodied guys at DE (e.g. Cowart, Coe, Davidson) but I don't feel as optimistic at Buck. Holland seemed to create pressure but didn't seem to finish plays (especially in the Sugar Bowl) and James is coming off that injury. In my opinion, Bryant seems like a more quick twitch/bendier athlete than Ryan Johnson. With added strength/weight, I think he can develop into that long edge rusher in the mold of a Tim Williams or Arden Key. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the outward appearance AU has blown a 3-1 lead lol. Closing horribly. I hope I am wrong. It seems like all the effort from the staff went to Stidham and Ashley. I didn't see the same recruiting intensity that I have seen in the past. I am sure the late OC addition hurt also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a welcome relief to signing day. Actually Ole Miss is having a tough year. Worse than ours.

AUApostle 7,651 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I'd be happy if the Mississippi schools went back to being 2-3 wins per year teams like they're supposed to be. They were absolutely horrid programs when the SEC split into divisions and balanced out Vandy/UK in the east.

I'm not sold on that just yet. I think everything has been trending up for Truesdell for the last week or so. He's borderline 3*-4* from what I've seen. I think it may be one of the diamond in the rough situations. From what I've seen on film and read, this guy wasn't a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
