Stacking Classes, Building Depth

One of the big keys to me is always looking into recruiting across two cycles, since those are the guys most likely to play with each other.

If we look at what we are getting over two years so far, it's really nice.

QB: A
2017: Haener (lol)
2018: Sirmon, Yankoff (Eason)

RB: B (this really changes
2017: Salvon
2018: Fig, (Lowe?)

WR: A+
2017: Jones, Bynum, Cook
2018: Osborne, Spiker

TE: A
2017: Bryant, Otton
2018: Culp

OL: B
2017: Bainivalu, Kirkland, Norgaard
2018: Ale, Curne, Mele

DL: C
2017:
2018: Bynum, Liu, Taimani, Tupuola-Fetui

EDGE: D
2017: Tryon
2018:

LB: B-
2017: Ngata
2018: Kaho, Sirmon, Tafisi

DB: C
2017: McKinney, Molden, Taylor
2018: Hampton

THE REST OF THE WAY:
You can see pretty easily that life will improve a lot with maybe one more DT, an EDGE guy and a couple more DBs. Maybe an OL. If we get quality there, we are going to be in the B and up category pretty much everywhere.

NEXT YEAR:
So, this pretty clearly points to what we are going to need next year...

Running back and Edge dudes are going to be especially key next year.

The nice thing is that we are in on three top-level RBs right now (Jones, Davis, Charbonnet) and likely to land at least one. If we replace Boner with Longo, I will be very confident.

At Edge we have always sucked and we will always suck until Coach K stops trying to talk fishing with Kayvon Thibideaux.

    What's your opinion of Jeremiah Martin? I feel like we have a decent shot at him.

    I'm a bit surprised you have LB and DB rated so low. I get the recency bias on DB since this year hinges (in this category anyway) on getting Gordon, but I think you shortchanged the LB classes a half grade.

    Clearly our BUCK recruiting sucks shit.

    I’d agree for the most except linebacker. I think if Kaho signs on the dotted line then it should be more of a B+

    The deal with LB is that I'm including SAM here and that means in two years, for 3 positions, we have 4 guys. That's not amazing. If we'd hit on Katoa last year (or someone like him) this would be an A-.

    Pete needs to get all the coaches in the film room and make them watch that Tay-K, Race video on loop.

    You want action, you get turned into past tense.
    Your boys deep? Well, let’s get to subtraction.

    It’s an example of what recruits are watching and talking about. Gotta know a few choice lyrics, that’s all.

    Just tying to throw the staff a bone.

    If you like gangster rap and don’t know about it, watch it.

    Could you add Bronson in on DL for 2017? He looks the part. Is he actually legit or a wild card? What say you on this? Is he extra credit that could raise your grade after semester?

    It’s too doogish even for me.

    So Bronson is a JAG. Got it. I asked because I don't know shit about Jimmy's and Joe's and freely admit as much. Hence my super awesome handle and why I pay my 10.95 here and read the well stalked out opinions of Yourself and Coker.

    Don't tell @BallzDeep that. He thinks he is guaranteed for the NFL

    DB way too low. It's a B at worst. Otherwise good chit.

    I'm no professional TBSer, or even an amateur one, but the "stacking classes" concept makes a lot of sense to me, and if the upcoming instate classes are as good as Cokehead insists they are, stacking those on top of this class and the previous class begins to give me a nice little sweatpants boner.

    T's and P's.

    Otton is the next great white TE for us. Will maul people when he is blocking and be a good safety valve for the QB.
