Checking in without much research. Looks like an incredible class, but seems to be light in the... well the heavies.

Anybody have the headlines on what we got coming in this year and next?

We signed a top 100 tackle and 2 guards that the coaches like, one of which they LOVE.

Did you want us to sign an entire OL?

Rosenthal, Thomas, Hines, Ingram, Deculus with Bradford, Dumervil and others will be fine

They signed 3 this class and are already in on some big time OL for next class

DL was a bigger need this recruiting class especially with switch to 4-3 base

Don't look at the OL in the Louisiana 2021 class. Spoiler alert. There is no one.

The guy who would have had a decent chance at starting center day 1 never really considered us. Wanted to go out of state. He at uga now.

With Thomas' medical redshirt, he is new from what we had last year as well.

There is also some fluidity between OL and DL recruits. What we signed this year is not significantly different on the OL than we have in the past. Moreover, out of 13 OL, 8 of them are Freshmen or Sophomores.

We are fine on OL. If and when CamRon Jackson gets on board that will make 4 quality OL prospects for this class. He will make the switch from DL almost immediately I would think, his body is perfect for LT much like Rosenthal. They will pick one of Xavier Hill and Marlon Martinez to play C with the other being a guard and Dumervil at OT. I expect it’s going to be Martinez who goes to C.

We signed 3
Last year we signed 4 last year
Jackson May still qualify which would put us at 4 this year. Dude had OT written all over him.

We probably need to grab 4 good one next year but we should be ok.

If Crawford does not have qualifying core grade GPA and ACT/SAT test score, he will be required to graduate from JUCO before he can matriculate to a 4 yr University on athletic scholarship. Minimum of 2 years at JUCO.

Basically if you are a non-qualifer and go to JUCO you must graduate before you can move on to a 4 yr college or university.
