Early signing period date, dline ?

A few quick questions for the recruiting gurus,
When and how many guys do we expect to lock up on early signing day?
Do we have any Dline prospects outside of Ika and Sophser? ( I know dline has been talked about ad naseum , but it’s real concern our talent gap is widening in the trenches on both sides.)
TIA

Marcus Stripling. No clue when he's signing.

Going back and reading the Stripling thread and it looks like we may have cooled off on him.
We need some athletic DE's in this class. If not 2020's(2019 if the Juniors leave) DL could be very weak. Farrell, Thomas, Logan, Jenkins, Cotton, Evans. Lot of 3 stars that need to out perform their rank.

This has been by far the biggest disappointment of O’s recruiting, especially since this is his specialty. I have no idea how we don’t have multiple d lineman in every class that are really good players. Every other program in the top 10 does.

When is early signing day? Is Emory signing early? I just don't want to lose him to UGA in the next few months

My thoughts exactly. Has anyone heard of Emery experts to sign early? Dline recruiting has to pick up!

We only recruit defensive lineman in odd years according to Ed O.

Well, Farrell has already outperformed his ranking, Logan and Cotton were 4-stars, Jenkins had an Alabama offer, and either you forgot our nose guards or else we're only trying to fill two positions, in which case we have plenty for 2020.
As always, the reason we need more Dlinemen THIS year is because we need to man the line three years from now. We had a huge, and very good, dline class last year and ZERO of them are contributing this year. That's not because they aren't good; it's because that's the way you're supposed to build a dline.

You didn't quote the first half of my statement about needing atheletic DE's. And it's 2.5 positions since Shelvin and Livingston will be lucky to play 50% of the snaps combined at their weights.

We HAD a huge group with 5 but with 2 going to the OL we're left with Cotton, Jenkins, and Livingston. 1 DL this year in Evans is 4 DL in 2 years. 1 4* and 3 3*'s. Like I said we need an impact guy this year or these 3*s need to be criminally under ranked.
Go back and look at the rankings for the mid 2000's. Those dominant lines weren't built on guys ranked in the 20-30s at their position.

What’s odd is this is Coach O’s strong suit and he’s failing.
He needs to get it together and make our lines great again.
That is he key to competing with power house opponents.

The staff and Emery Sr. are both wanting him to sign in December. I think at this point he's pretty solid.

We play a 3-4.
Looking at the roster we lile 12 D-linemans and 0 seniors.
And right now, none of the juniors should leave for the NFL.
Not saying we are alright, because its obvious we need depth, but its not as dire as everyone makes it out to be.

12? You can’t be counting true 3-4 DL and must be including non-scholly players.
