Let me know if I missed any

 

I don't follow recruiting that much. What's the summary on the Peterman kid?

 

#1 ranked QB in the talent laden state of Florida

 

Good deal. Thanks.

 

OP will end up being the best player from this class, jmo.

 

I think he'll be good too but I like D. Obrien and L. McNeil personally.

 

McNeil and Crawley have a chance to start from day one

 

They are starting to really talk up the Peters kid.

 

He's a stud that will be a special teams ace his freshman year

 

so is this a solid class so far, or is it lacking talent

 

I think it's solid. We can cut some one or two if we need to make room for the upper echelon players if they want to commit.

 

which players would be asked to leave? I'm assuming Blanc and maybe Lewis?

 

The kicker and Blanc could be greyshirted with ease imo.

 

Need an OL.

 

I'm a firm believer in taking, at minimum, 3 a year.

 

I agree. If you read the Jelks thread on toos we don't need any though.

 

It's best to wait until almost your entire line is seniors. That way the next year you can start 4-5 freshmen and they can all grow together. It's been working awesome for us.

 

After the last few years of OL recruiting I am paranoid if we don't take at least 2 a year. Look at what it brought our O-Line play down to.

 

I really like Crawley. He has great ball skills and really good size

 

The Devrin thing worked out but Blanc just doesn't look like an SEC player to me. You'd think we could fill that spot with an OL
