We need another. I like the two we have now, but they both played rushing the edge a lot. Need someone in the middle.

This isn't necessarily true. He uses whatever scheme works best for the personnel he has. He used different schemes at each school he's coached at if I'm correct.

We only have 4 returning scholarship LBers on the roster. We have commitments from 4 LBers currently. We have 13 returning scholarship DB's on the roster. We have commitments from 4 DB's currently. WE NEED ANOTHER LB IN THIS CLASS!!!! I know there are some hybrids but we still need more true LBers!!!

3 linemen, 4 linebackers and either 5 or 6 defensive backs will almost certainly result in a "too many men on the field" penalty, baw.

Tennessee tried that shite one time against us and it didn't work.

We have five returning linebackers:
Beckwith
Voohries
Thompson
Alexander
Riley

As you said, we have four recruits who will play LB (assumimg White stays at RB)

Also, Key, Neal and Bower will likely flip between LB and DE.

Yeah not sure why some people seem to not realize that our defensive ends are linebackers in his scheme. So you can almost double the amount of linebackers we have. Neal, key and bowers are not playing end in any base 3-4.

Is it possible that Sione could play linebacker? It seems to me he's more suited to linebacker as opposed to end.

What did I miss... Joyner was once committed? I am thought it was widely believed he was a unicorn until a month ago.
As one poster said, keep an eye out for Moore.

I would think he would be a candidate. I really liked what I saw of him his freshman year in limited duty. Hopefully the new DC can get him back on track

I think Aranda's looking at Layton Garnett. He went in-home today and we are getting a visit from him.

Boom.
