We're battling Texas for 4* defensive tackles Christmas Giles and Stephon Taylor(both from New Orleans). Will we land atleast one?

No. They get both, we get Fowler.

I'm not counting out O for anything when it comes to recruiting. We don't really have any depth at DT and we rotate guys constantly. I'd think playing time shouldn't really be an issue.

You must follow recruiting closely. We already have DT's higher on our list committed
Can't get them all.

They'd be good gets but not much of a need.

I don't get the impression we're really battling for either of them.

Texas is hunting for their next meal. We will eat dessert if we have room for it. Not battling.

there should be room for Giles if he wants in. Not sure about Taylor. But we might not even land our full allotment (27) the way it looks. Plus with the way we get beat in the trenches we need all the big guys we can get for depth and development.

Looks pretty good but I agree with you that we could use a couple more.

We rotate 4-6 DTs now as it is. Playing time wouldn't be an issue.

Did Miles even use his in home with him? Speaks volumes if not.

We already got 3 DT's committed plus the ends! Not sure what you expect, but sounds unrealistic to most to think we get more top DT's.

I feel like I'm texting with my mom with the way you use emojis.

With Aranda's scheme and the athleticism of all of these kids we could be looking at playing 3 of these guys at a time some of the time. With a solid rotation you'd be playing 6-8 DTs a game.

Logan could play DE. Plus Alexander has bad knees. We need bigger guys in the trenches (even at DE) and deeper better depth. Tired of Bama stomping us in the trenches every year.
