Whats the outlook for OL/DL in '10 Class??

Jermarcus Hardrick has something to say about that

Lynx,

What's your take on Noel Johnson?

quote:

---

Elliot Porter will be a commit soon as an OL (not DT like most schools are recruiting him as).

Jordan Allen will eventually be a Tiger.

Already have Hardrick and Fordham in the bag.

That just seems like a low # for a 20+ class. You never can have to much talent in the trenches IMO.

If we can finish this class with Evan Washington at OT, Byran Jones at DT, of course Allen at DE, and my personal favorite Juco WDE Bonolomo from Rummel; I'll be a very very happy man.

I want to see Bonolomo and Montgomery rushing the passer on third downs the next two years!

don't forget about Pryer, juco DE... A lot like Hicks from last year in that he looks to be a tweener type as either a SDE or DT due to his size

so a recap:
OL: Hardrick
Washington
Porter (a few weeks ago I had him as a DL)
Fordham
DE: Allen
Pryer
DT: Jones or another DT on the board? I still don't know who we get here, and just put Jones cause he's from the state

I dropped Wes Rae from my possible list cause if Porter got a scholly offer at camp, it makes me believe Rae won't be a part of this class unless we don't get Washington... I don't know whats up with Rae? Any thoughts?

I can actually see why you'd say that with his length and frame... He looks like he could carry a good 50 more pounds, but I'll stick with the idea that he stays at DE

The OL will be accounted for when its all said and done. I think we take 4 total there unless there's a cant miss OL left on the board.
(Really hoping we can land Washington here and we need another Guard.)

DE will be accounted for as well. 2 here should do it, with a few DE/TE/LB athletes to place.
(Allen will be a Tiger, the other spot is in the air)

The biggest question mark is DT. Im not sure who we have serious interest from at this position. I know we took Davenport, Downs, Hicks last year, but the year before Im not sure we landed very many. Id really like to see us land at least 2 DT this class. But its a numbers game, so we'll see.
(Elliot Porter maybe and he could be like Joe Barksdale and switch over to OL once he lands here) (Torrea Peterson who is vastly underrated, and Evan Hailes will be some names that get mentioned, just not sure where we sit with them).

Clement and Logan are both SDEs. Logan is already listed at 272, and his only weakness really is a lack of elite speed.

Mingo is a freakin' beanpole. He's lucky if he weighs 200lbs right now.

I think Porter would make an excellent OT. He's all over the field as a DE and he looks very quick.

Lynx, wouldn't that equate to OT instead of OG?
