Yep, they were from out-of-state. And, except for Richards, they were a monster bet. Walker was completely under the scope until right before he signed. Anoia was a decent middle-of-the-pack player. And this leaves aside M. Richards who everyone else was recruiting as a TE and Addam Oliver, who played six man football in high school. And, for instance, nobody wanted Marco Coleman except Ross and nobody but Tech had Coleman Rudolph in mind for a DT.Anoia florida

Sooooo … what I'm saying is that when Tech has hit big at the DL positions it has usually included a huge amount of sheer bum luck. There have been exceptions, of course, but what it boils down to is better recruiting intelligence and being lucky. The Suhs of the world aren't coming here, in general.
But it is possible to build good Ds with players others don't want. Bud Foster has been doing it for years. We can too, if we are patient.
