official 2009/ 2010 recruiting thread

All the defensive recruits should be foaming at the mouth over potential playtime.

Why no linebackers in this class?

Possibly about who was out there. The class limit is a factor and we can't expect we've seen the last of a hybrid safety/linebacker. We tossed that this year when Cooper went down and Reese hurt his shoulder in the same game but you can tell we are recruiting with having only two linebackers in mind. Look at last years and this years class and compare the number of secondary to linebackers.

Considering that we haven't stopped anybody running the ball right up the gut, is this really going to work?

Our DT's have been more of a culprit to our terrible rush defense up the gut than our LB'ers have been. Linebackers should stop guys that have at least been slowed down by good DT's.

This year our DT play has been very poor and it has hurt us in both pass rushing and run stuffing.

Okay, but I also see linebackers taking on blocks and making zero to poor attempt at slowing down running backs that come by. One linebacker only makes tackles when he is wide open, unobstructed. Imagine our technique when a skinny safety type is in there managing blocks?
 
Do we have any updates on Juniors? Who do you guys think will be the first to commit?
 
I really hope at least 1 of 2 incoming freshman at DT will play right away. Shawn Green or Denzel Mccoy should be able to crack the two deep.
 
It is very hard for an incoming lineman to play much. Everyone was lauding Lanier, but my thoughts were it usually takes a year or two in the trenches. We need two dominating DT's for sure next year.

Lanier had just cracked the two deep when he got hurt. Hopefully he can make a big impact.
