Saivion is likely to be one with Landon too. Also Bryce Foster seems to be leaning LSU now.


I agree with your candidates for SDE.
I am really glad to hear about Bryce Foster. Last I heard we were not in his top 3, so that is good news.
Ironically, even with 26, the numbers are tight. Largely due to the transition from 3-4 to 4-3 and attrition IMO.

Meant Langston, sorry. But I dont know about Foster, he's pretty quiet but last I heard Oregon was running third.

Update based on what Coach O said this morning.
1 CB He said "big time" which makes me think of Koolaid. I would be just as happy with Wiggins and was actually hoping we would take 2
1 RB - I have no idea
1 TE - No clue
1 WR - Hopefully Brian Thomas but he said they are looking at a few. That could mean they are not super confident in Thomas, as I would assume they would only be looking at 1 if he wanted it. That could also mean he is setting himself up in case one other receiver drops out, which is possible.
2 LB - I had a feeling this would be a point of emphasis but taking two is surprising. I stand by my earlier prediction that we will need a couple of guys who can really drop into coverage.
1 S - I thought we would get two here but I would say sage is on board if it's only one.
1-2 DL - He said they were looking at a couple but I could see us only taking maason and only taking two if foreman wants in.
2-3 OL - He also said big time here. I think Tristan Leigh is the obvious answer and I hope we take a couple more OT/OG types.
That is more than 26 but I would be surprised if 1-2 kids do not eventually decommit.

if we are only going for 1 cb then I guess we are going all in for Koolaid and just have a guy or two on the back burner in case we dont win out on Koolaid

Does it make a difference that Gaye is a Juco guy compared to the other guys.
Also, wouldn’t be surprised if both Landon Jackson and Saivion Jones end up in the 280 range, both guys have massive frames. Both guys may end up on strong side.

And depending on how the LB room shakes out, Josh White could end up sliding to Will.

Good point and I would imagine it does. Maybe thats why O alluded to taking multiple DL. The more I think about it the more I realize I have no idea how the front seven will shake out. A lot of the OLB we got in the last class were stand up DE/OLB types who might end up at WDE. That makes recruiting SDE and OLB even more important. Kind of makes sense why he wants multiple at those positions.
