re: So the rumor is that Tulane's Patrick Jenkins is the target DT from the portal

Most kids we'll be able to go after will be "just another body" perceptionally. We aren't the only school in need of DTs, the SEC kids are off the board, and most are guys that weren't going to play at their previous school. Have to trust that whoever we get can provide quality snaps for a year and hope we get lucky and one possibly plays over his head. Competition for perceived "top" guys will be fierce. Take the Blidi kid for example. Lots of suitors for an average Dlineman from Indiana.
