If scholarships are getting tight taking a pledge from Livingston so that fully 25% of your scholarships are taken to fill your front 3 on D is a statement


A total of 9 commits for DL and LB
A total of 5 commits for OL and TE

11 spots for DB's, RB's, WR and QB

As of now we have
3 commits Athletes
1 commits DB
1 commit RB
1 commit WR

It will be interesting how this does finish

1 RB
2 DB's
1 WR
1 ???

IF all we have stays at 5 I hope that 5th one is a QB. but, it seems that some of our commits will change their mind and we will have more than 5 spots, maybe 7 or so.

Have you actually seen Curry play, or are you simply making an assessment based on his star rating? 


Based on his tape: meh. I like Provens better. He's certainly not Spencer Ware like many on here like to yell. Not even close.

6'7"-327 has OL written all over that.
Just because the kid is 6'7 doesn't mean he should automatically be on the OLine, they are tall and big DT's or DE's sprinkled throughout the college and NFL landscape. I just watched a really good DT for Miami last nite give New England's OLine fits, and he was 6'6" 330 pounds, I forget his name. They grow big these days, the too tall Jones' aren't rarity's in today's game.

but Rosenthal will be given the opportunity by them I'm sure, and he'll find out himself whether or not he belongs as a DLineman in college football. If it ain't working I'm sure he'll make the decision himself to switch to OLine.

I actually agree. That’s only if Provens is used the right way

That does have O Line man written all over that.

The last D Lineman that size of any note was John Henderson out of Tenn...and that was many years ago.

Suh isn’t that big and he’s one in a generation Dlineman. He also wasn’t that big in high school and grew into that late in college and Pro.

Rosenthal’s best chance at a big paycheck is either strong side guard or RT.

He's got LT feet and athletic ability.

Marquise Hill is best comparison. Rosenthal has a little more bad weight right now though.

You haven't a clue whether the kid will be good at DL or OL, as I said y'all are looking at the kids height and automatically putting him on the OLine, he could be effective on the DLine. But him and the LSU coaches will make that decision when the time comes, as I said the kid will find out for himself when he plays at the college level if he's suited for DLine at that level.

We agree on that.



I’m saying that odds are against him playing D Line in college effectively.

He may have LT ability...I don’t know for sure but I feel far more comfortable projecting him as a strong guard or road Grading RT.

As far as the Marquise Hill comparisons, Hill was much thinner out of high school. He was long and lanky, even in college.
Hill was never going to be an O Lineman...Rosenthal looks much more like an O Lineman.

We shall see...just glad to have him in purple and gold.

Agreed. Just get him on campus and let it play out.

No idea if he should play on OL/DL. But I don't think his height is some automatic disqualification. Wasn't Brockers 6-6. And Tooz was 6-7. Too Tall Jones was 6-9.
