    Bolton will be my least favorite commit of the 10 we now have in this class.

    5 years ago he would have been top 8 or so on a 25 man class.

    Bingo.

    The ILB's rank 9 and 10 for me in this class, which is a little alarming. Thankfully it's probably our deepest position on the team so they'll have time to develop, and they're still pretty good.

    I'd agree with you, I really like Sirmon though, I think he'll show really well this year being further removed from the ACL injury (Remember, he played last year 9 months after tearing his ACL)

    Also, I'm a looser so I can't resist taking a rough guess at Coker's ranks:

    Sirmon
    Spiker
    Osbourne
    Yankoff
    Mele
    Lowe
    Culp
    Bynum
    Sirmon 2
    Bolton

    Yeah, being #9 on this list is no shame. I like Jackson a lot too, I just don't know who I can put him above other than Bolton.

    My list is pretty similar to my guess for yours but a little different at the top.

    Spiker
    Yankoff
    Sirmon
    Osbourne
    Mele
    Culp
    Bynum
    Lowe
    Sirmon 2
    Osbourne

    I'm neither super excited by this or dissapointed.

    If we were a shit team I'd love to have Bolton, because he knows how to play football and will end up with a million tackles. His limitations are pretty obvious and have already been argued to death on this board.

    Whatever, prove me wrong Nick Bolton.

    Right now for commits I'm:

    1. Osborne
    2. Spiker
    3. Sirmon
    4. Mele
    5. Culp
    6. Yankoff
    7. Bynum
    8. Lowe
    9. Sirmon II
    10. Bolton

    But I like Bolton a lot. I like him better than I liked BBK or DJ Beavers. In the neighborhood of how I felt about Tevis. Tevis should've redshirted, by the way. Just want to say that.

    What are his limitations? No, I'm not going to scroll back and look for them.

    Strange. Pete has said (more than once) that he simply doesn't recruit players that can't run really well.

    watched the Hudl, he isnt fast but also doesn't look like he's trying to overcome it, seems in control/composed almost to a fault. Not flailing arms, not over pursuing or spazy. again he doesn't look like he's hitting guys that hard, but they go straight back like a city bus coasting into a honda civic.

    seems football smart, will be running the defense if he can cut it physically.
