This class is heavy with LBs and nickel backers. We may be going to more 3 man fronts with the addition of LBs...

I used ESPN because Rivals is more of a site that keeps up with only the top 300 or so recruits in the nation. They are only reporting Troy having 7 recruits when we are well over 20 now.

But I'm not sure your info on Deon Anthony is even slightly true no matter how much I would like to believe that. If he was the #2 anything he would be a four or five star recruit and probably not committed to us. Rivals has him listed as a 3 star recruit for the 2012 class and he isn't ranked in any category. But the fact that both of them are rated decently by recruiting services is enough to say both of them are a grab for me.

And thank god I'm not 100% we run the 4-3 right now but if we do the 3-4 may make a quick impact.

Rivals had some help and they have it pretty close. ESPN has started getting their info from Drew. Scout.com usually doesn't have TROY updated until close to signing day.

As far as the two QBs go, I look at it from more than one perspective. While you may not think that Anthony is #2 at anything, how then can you think that Silvers is the #27 QB in the class? It's all subjective and we're using other people's evaluations to come to a conclusion. We generally pick the highest rankings, as fans. Neither of us is right or wrong if we haven't done the scouting ourselves, hence the recruiting...
