[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 927771, member: 282"] I could post this in the Early Signing Day thread, but it seems OK here. Here’s the official RamblinReck signing day page: [URL]https://ramblinwreck.com/signing-day-2023/[/URL] I count 5 linebackers in the class so far. I count 4 wide receivers. I count three defensive backs. I count five offensive linemen. Two running backs and 1 quarterback. I see 4 defensive linemen, mostly ends/edge. One tight end. That’s how the 25 splits up. If I recall correctly, we’ve gone heavier on defensive backs the past few years. On the offensive line, we have recruited an entire line. My read of the situation is that we were recruiting just enough before to field a good line, but not if we missed on our evaluation of a player or two or lost some to injury. I think we have “extra” OL players now, and we recruited for development. If one of the players doesn’t pan out, the player next to them will (in theory). I think we did evaluation, but it’s also a lottery strategy—we have enough players that we can luck out and get a first year starter or maybe two, and other players will step up in year two or three. On the defensive line, we’ve also recruited an entire defensive line (in numbers). At wide receiver, we didn’t pull any 6’6” players. Our transfer tight end is 6’3”, which seems small for a P5 TE. These guys will have to be fast and have reliable hands. I don’t know if we succeeded in our recruiting this year, but one of our big issues is that we dropped too many passes. I’ve looked at the stats after one of our games, and for some reason ESPN didn’t record a lot of dropped passes when I saw a lot of dropped passes. We need good hands in our receiving corps. The linebackers should see immediate time on special teams—a lot of players will. I think we made up this year for under recruiting linebackers in previous years. We took a large class here, and I think it’s a gamble that we not only see potential where a lot of other P5 teams didn’t, but also that we can bring out the potential. This class is unusually big and unusually light in 4* players. It’s the same kind of class that Paul Johnson was pulling in, but bigger. [/QUOTE]
