When given the chance he makes plays. He is athletic and doesn’t shit the bed when called upon. He may even be good.Neighbor2972 said:Westover is more deserving of a scholly than the 12 below average special teamers we have on scholarship
He is the anti-culp.

Yeah, Westover deserves a scholarship way more than Culp doesAtomicDawg said:

This was my feeling as well. Seemed a little ironic and detached to me, like a guy who had already checked out.RoadDawg55 said:
I shouldn’t be so cynical but Spiker’s towel waving and cheering made me think he’s a loser that doesn’t give a shit about actually playing.KrunkJuice said:
Way to early for Trice. Spiker on the sidelines looked like he would be back.The others look like strong candidates.picalogestabo said:What about Kizer and Gilchrist? I expect Taj Davis, Yary, Osborne and Trice will portal.

People forget that Jack Westover is actually bigger than Hunter Bryant.AtomicDawg said:

Wouldn't surprise me if he could run a 4.75 like hunter too
heir apparent to the underused TE roll once Otton leaves early, Yary flames out, and Culp transfers. -
“Worried about his safety” will go down as a classic hot take. Doesn’t matter if teq actually said it or not. It is now written.Houhusky said:

He’s faster than 4.75 and a very good athlete that had not played much football in his life.Houhusky said:

More of a raw athlete that has the size than a typical try hard walk on. -
What’s the story with Yary? Seems pretty early to predict a flameout...

Agree that it's a terrible strategy but I'll play devil's advocate for a minute.FremontTroll said:
Yeah and that is a terrible strategy. You can't get the wasted year back. Not to mention:insinceredawg said:
I think Sonics mentioned that they threw in the towel for the '21 class and are "saving" those scholarships for the '22 class. If they botch recruiting again next year Jimmy is officially on the hot seat.FremontTroll said:Totally inexcusable roster mismanagement.
I've never seen a school already under the total limit on signing day.
I can't wait to see which walk-ons get awarded a scholarship though.
1. What are they going to do differently in terms of process in order to expect different results next year?
2. Even if they do make big changes in personnel and strategy- what are they going to do, take 30 kids after a class of 15? Nice balance.
Next year's senior class is artificially small since everyone redshirted when the 4 game rule went into effect but at least half of next year's "sophomore" class won't make it to 2022 either due to transfers or declaring for the draft.
This is how the c/o '22 numbers looks like on the high end:
-8 seniors on next year's roster (including Cade and Kirkland)
-4 draft eligible guys who might declare early, let's assume they all leave (Puka, McDuffie, ZTF, Kyler)
-Let's say 6 couch sales over this offseason
-Add 6 more for attrition after the '21 season
That gets us to 24 slots which numbers wise would be in line with the 2018-2020 classes that ended up ranked in the top 15. Now do I trust that Lake and co. will do any better than this year? Not really. But I'll take the chance they will somehow cobble together a solid class over adding 3-4 hidden gems this year who aren't deserving of a scholarship. Now if they use those scholarships on JTT, Cardwell, and Wynden it's a different story but that's not happening. If they add anyone else at this point it'll be more Caiden Jumpers and Robert Wyrsch's.
The wild card to the numbers that the coaches might be taking into consideration is the seniors next year (Bynum, Jones, Bain, Luciano, Cook, Henry) who opt to utilize the extra year of eligibility. I'm pretty sure this years seniors won't count against the 85 if they come back next season like Watty but I have no idea how it works for classes going forward. -
Kim and Ektard are already spreading the lazy narrative that the '22 class is going to be very small, similar to the '21 class. I'm going to call it now that we're going to sign a minimum of 20 kids in this next class.
