Gaines

Not to lay a big turd on this thread, but I believe wholeheartedly that we should bring at least 3 DLs in every recruiting class. Considering the up-tempo offenses we face, depth and rotation are critical.

So far this year we only have a verbal "commitment" from amandre williams (a DE), who seems all but decommitted at this point.

I forget who it was here who said that Gaines was good enough to play last season but that we could afford to RS him because we had Qualls backing up Shelton.

What happened to @chuckhv? He was the one who said he really liked Gaines film coming out of high school.

Gaines was an average to above average 3* recruit yet his offers wouldn't have told you so. Another "steal" for Petersen. Just a good fucking recruit who became a great college player. Those are the types we need to find.

I brought that up. Like I said kids high school film is crazy good! He was one point from a 4 star, scored 94 at SPARQ and played running back in HS where he hammered the ball but had some long runs on his films just crushing opposing D. On Arizona 3rd and 9 he took on 3 O lineman and never moved an inch RB with no where to go was picked off by a free player courtesy of him eating up the whole damn O line. He is held every play and drew the only 2 holding calls in the game IIRC. They almost never move this guy.
