Would say he's as good as committed minus a total 180. Slackman to Florida and Barnes to Colorado over the weekend. Not great for DL on the transfer front. The FSU DL went to the same HS as Willor, so I'm thinking that's more of a get to get him than to help the team. We'll see. Tifase is a big boy (6'4" 300) and was a top 100 DL in his class so I don't think he's a nothing get if we take him. Not quite a Dillan Johnson type pull but better than Hank Weber lol. Forgot that we also offered Kelvin Gilliam. He's an EDGE now but we beefed up Varner last year.

Honestly the portal is nice and all but I don't want to block guys like Howard, Johnson, Snowden, Moore, etc... from playing on defense, I would be OK with the secondary/DL room/RB room as is and just giving some young guys PT next year. We really needed a QB, TE and some EDGE help and we got it. Slackman was an NFL caliber body so obviously you chase that but the only guy I'm really rooting we pull at this point is Cristian Driver and that reason is totally obvious ha.

I don't disagree but the DL room is thin so bodies are needed regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see the rotation down to 5-6 like a pro team would have. Thompson, Varner, Neal, Barten, Howard, Johnson. Would obviously like Barten to be #6, but we have enough bodies. Maybe Jarvis or one of the McDonald's becomes a playable depth piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I'd like to be at 10+ viable bodies on the DL. The freshmen may all be redshirt candidates despite the talent (Willor, if we land him, and Johnson - Weber's definitely redshirting). That leaves Thompson, Neal, Varner, Barten, Howard, Jarvis and the McDonalds. We already saw how not viable that group is in this system in 2023.

Packerraymond Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Sounds like we made Colbie Young's top 3, but also sounds like we'll be #3, unless he delays a commitment and visits in January. Between Georgia and PSU. Took a virtual visit to UW but never got here for an official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 Only waiting on Lafaele and Lucas to sign. Lucas just went on an OV to Miami so it could be tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
