It’s controversial because of what we are doing at other positions.

We have 16 linebackers for 2020. That’s great! We have 6 tight ends. That’s great too! We have 8 corners. That’s great.

But wait. Now we are thin at OL. Now we are thin at DL in supporting depth.


We added juco tight end and defensive end.
We may want to just stay at 7 corner backs. Maybe we want to get to 14 linebackers instead of 16. Now we offer A project juco in Ali Gaye.


It looks nickel-dime, but here is your answer why we may have to take 4 dL instead of 6.

But the real issue is this. (Downvote bucket deployed). We haven’t been able to to land top dL talent and then our answer is to throw 6 offers at guys that are doing what the guys currently on our roster are doing.......they are hoping to contribute.


Remember when I said we offer a juco Ali Gaye. Because Alabama is offering some 6-5 285 hs senior that knows to wait his turn. He will be a beast by the time Ali Gaye is graduating as a third teamer.

This is the hard fact. Saban recruits for starters that have to wait in line. We are offering juco that MAY play but recruiting juco and redshirting them isn’t ideal.



And this is another attempt at downvotes. We are woefully thin at guard and center while having actually great numbers at tackle we have 8.....maybe ten. But those are numbers only. We have hinged our hopes on cam wire and dare rose thal along with the hope that turner and Parker will eat a lot of food.
