we are, like, recruiting weirdly (for us)
This is what it was like in the summer of 2004. Exactly.
These guys are probably qualifiers though.
And the emphasis on speed is alarming.
I think the Oregon game was a major eye-awakening moment for LHCBS and the staff, that they realized that they need to emphasize on more speed.
Our defense actually did pretty good in that game (granted, ABJR isn't walking through the door any time soon). It was the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) decision to kick to Deanthony Thomas and offensive ineptitude that doomed us.
This I would agree. But you can never have too many speed/burner guys, especially when there's that stupid 8th official spotting the ball immediately after the previous play is over, that the DB's will get tired after running all day, that you want your back-ups to have the equal speed to keep up with the receivers, or need a 8th man in the box to counter that read-option plays.
What I find it very very interesting is that all of the verbals are kids from HS, and not a single one from a JUCO ranks at this point.
