Zeek 16,650 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 @ellitor so we're not in the lead for Cross correct? Who do you think our next 3 closest-to-committing kids might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we flip Tyron Hopper but I don’t think it will be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derick Hall would be a tremendous pick up and would really help round out the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get those 3 and we're only another LB, an RB and another OL away from a complete class with room for 2 more best available types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need a quality OT which I think will happen in the grad transfer market. That would be 1 spot left for another DB, best available, or a 2nd GT.

auol72 188 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Agree totally but if we could somehow pull the Putnam kid from down in Florida he can play tackle in a pinch. He and Osborne can play right tackle but leaves no one for left tackle when Prince leaves after this year. I also know Driscoll has another year but you cannot count on him coming back either. If they both leave we would have no choice but to go after a grad transfer or pick up the one JUCO OT that appears capable of playing LT in the SEC.

FWIW Keith says Putnam is a Guard all the way. He doesn't miss on best position for a recruit often. 17 minutes ago, auol72 said: when Prince leaves after this year Barring an insane progression this ain't happening. 19 minutes ago, auol72 said: I also know Driscoll has another year but you cannot count on him coming back either Highly unlikely he leaves too. Scouts will probably want to have 2 years of SEC film to evaluate on him. We need to get an OT, LT specifically in the class to start developing for when Tega graduates next year in case Calvin doesn't develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auol72 188 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 In my opinion from what i have seen we do not have a LT prospect on the roster if Prince Tega leaves, so i agree with you 100% we really need one in this class to start the development. I also agree that Driscoll probably will not leave but he can, has the time in. Lastly, dont put any money on Tega not making that progression just go back to greg robinson. He played fair at best as a redshirt freshman and as a redshirt sophmore was top pick in draft. Tega has more NFL that Greg did. I believe you will be shocked at his progress Saturday afternoon.

One big difference between Tega and Greg Robinson. We heard a lot more buzz about Greg’s progression after his redshirt freshman year then we have at any point for Tega From people connected to the program. If Tega was on pace for a similar trajectory we would’ve heard about it by now from people connected. To be honest, I’m just hoping he’s not a liability.

I do not see Prince Tega leaving after this season. He is good no doubt, but he needs another season after this coming one to be a prime tackle prospect in the NFL. He has the talent, but needs to complete his senior season with solid play to be able to be a solid draft pick seeking the big $$$$. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auol72 188 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Maybe you guys are right, time will tell. However when you hold your own if not more against marlin and cow day after day I believe you’ll do very well during the season. E if he is your biggest worry on the OL your fine. Just saying and I’ll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auol72 188 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We are all talking friendly here, but remember Marcus struggled mightily for a couple of years and then overcame back surgery to be ausome his last year and go as a nice pick in the draft.

Absolutely! Emphasis on the word "yet". Prince is just now entering only his 2nd year as an OL, right? Or did he practice at OL his redshirt year?
