Recruiting 2020 Recruiting Thread: Gervon Dexter gets 5th Star on Rivals

[Gator By Marriage]

Honestly, could there be anything more fitting than us breaking the vols’ hearts down the final stretch with a kid named Calloway?

I don’t care the spelling.

Only if two years later we could do it again with a kid named Cleveland.

This made me laugh, didnt know where to put it

Is that Trask holding his prize?

I don't think we're getting Gibbs and Parrish is likely the lone RB in the class. Not ideal, but better than a complete whiff.

The offers to the two WR's today are telling also. Hopefully they're just trying to secure a 2nd WR to add to Henderson.

Smith is a toss up. If we don't land him hopefully we get Pinder.

Flipping McDaniel would be nice. I'm not sure Britt will be in the class.

There's a report that Morven Joseph weighed in at 195lbs on his OV this weekend...which is why we're making a push for Harris instead. Joseph likely goes to UT.

195? Jeez...

I hope we’re not slow playing Punder just in case Tim flips. Both are takes.

I agree about Britt. I think he wants to play WR. Maybe I’m wrong.

 

[GatorJ]

It was sarcasm aimed at our continued inability to get the best guys. At least we finally snagged one after he was bumped up late.

I don’t think we’re slow playing Pinder I believe he is a take for the staff but he might be shutting it down now. While we are getting positive reports on a lot of DL right now one commit could change everything. Pinder May love us and seems like a likely flip but what if Tim does? Our staff may want both but both may not want us if one were to jump on board first. We have a lot of DL committed and want even more...makes things tricky.

THAT is a big boy!

Drennan will no longer visit us

Think they’re looking to go big on the DL? Grantham, at past stops, has liked three 300+ LBers.

 

[alcoholica]

assuming there is a logical explanation. They may be hoping that some can contribute and some will redshirt and separate that way. The coaches specifically mentioned that they like flexibility along the front, so some of these guys may be candidates for flexing in and out.

I have no other idea what the reasoning could be. The separation by contributing early and redshirting the rest was brought up by someone else in here.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Maybe we can start playing a real DL again?

The rest of the teams in the SEC play against the (terrible, run-based) SEC east spread offenses and they dont play a DE at DT and two outside Linebackers at DE. Perhaps this "play a Louisville CUSA-sized front line" scheme is coming to an end.

Mullinz played a fullsized front line at Cowbell.

Maybe he is getting tired of getting gutted up the middle and wants to change it up and get slashed on the edges. You guys will be wishing we had some lighter DL soon.

 

[SeabeeGator]

I’m with you but there’s clearly a trend in his recruiting this year. Maybe trying to backfill from previous years or getting a bunch and hoping a couple contribute early? If nothing else, I think its clear that he’s tired of being outsized on the DL so maybe he’s overcompensating with this class.

I certainly hope so.

Maybe he is recruiting to beat ugly. They have owned the LOS for three years against us.

Holy crap. We’ve been BEGGING for more beef in the middle and now we’re worried about taking too many DTs??? After the lack of DT commits over the previous 2 classes, I’m willing to cling to a sliver of hope that we’re not only trying to cover that deficit, but that even TG was able to see we’ve been soft in the middle and it’s up to him to fix it.

Why are you surprised?

I know, right??? You’d think by now, nothing said on this board would surprise me. And yet...
