Nah we redshirted them all. But hopefully we can do that with the '21 class where there is at least one guy (please god) that would not redshirt. That would help with balancing the numbers.Swaye said:Serious question because I am too lazy to figure it out but I know someone will just know. We took a fucking pile of great DLs last year. Did we split them up by playing some/half/whatever and then red shirting a chunk of them as well? I always hate skipping a position group for a class, but if we spaced last years class well it at least takes some of the sting out of it. Still sucks.

Thanks buddy! Yeah, we need to do some creative shuffling to spread this out. I know DL can be feast or famine out west, but we seem to get ourselves in this position often - skipping classes. Never good. Must be managed.Neighbor2972 said:

Taking Levi and then taking no DL really fucked us in 2018 (thank god Gaines is so durable and mostly held it together) terms of rotation. Gaines probably played more snaps than he should haveSwaye said:

I don't think this matters as much as it normally would as far as class balancing. The '19 class was full of guys who are SO good that at least one is bound to leave early. I would be shocked if more than half of them become five year players. So you could really think of that class as one-to-three guys who are redshirt freshmen and one-to-three guys who are true sophomores that didn't play their first year.Swaye said:Serious question because I am too lazy to figure it out but I know someone will just know.

Which sort of fills in the gap by missing this season. It does make '21 an absolutely critical class to get three or four really good players so that there's not another hole down the road like this year. -
We have yet to see the boy, the myth, the mountain, Sama Paama.

It's ok to take 0 dl this year. Theres a bumper crop next year and we took a bunch of guys last year.
Surely nothing can go wrong -
It sucks but there was literally no one good out west. Here’s to hoping Princely doesn’t sign earlybananasnblondes said:It's ok to take 0 dl this year. Theres a bumper crop next year and we took a bunch of guys last year.

It’s always less than ideal to take a 0 in a class but it’s not a killer ... the killer is when you are short on numbers in 2 straight classes
The pressure to have a strong class next year is massive now -
Jimmy needs to get some grad transfer in then

There literally were. One of them? The dude who’s thread we’re posting.backthepack said:

The point is there wasn’t anyone else -
Apparently theres a USC mod claiming that Carlton is waiting until february to sign and will take more trips. I have no idea if theres any truth to it, but it would make sense based on how many coaches were in his house last week. It could be he wants to see Cal, SC, and UW before making a choice and UW told him to hold off until January if they knew he wasnt signing on wednesday

@backthepack, is that Santa not fast strategy enough for you?

Apparently Ektard got in touch with him yesterday.
He told Ektard that he wanted to visit but this week was finals and his parents wanted to be focused on that.
If he doesn’t sign tomorrow, maybe he visits in January.
Don’t hold your breath. -
Recruits tell Ektard blatant lies and he reports it anyway. These days the majority of them ignore Ektard all together so he must be thrilled he even got a response this time.DoogCourics said:Apparently Ektard got in touch with him yesterday.

I don’t think he actually signed with Utah yet.

Somebody reported that he signed with UtahAtomicDawg said:I don’t think he actually signed with Utah yet.

So he lied to Ektard?

Utah might be good again in 4 years
