Big get!!! No pun intended. We really needed this type of player to try and fill the shoes of Anthony Rush.

3 ️ That originally committed to Nebraska but went Juco. Huge get

Was a Dec grad. Will he be on campus for just-started Spring or this summer?

i dont think that he is 6-3

He measured 6'2.5" on his OV today.

Yes! Number one on my recruiting wish list since he decommitted from Nebraska. He is one of our highest rated DL commits ever. Next year could be even more interesting than this year if we can close strong at WR, DE and OL.

Jermaine Brown (St. Luke). He also committed!

Re-loading pretty well on the defensive side. Wish we could pick up an OG or WR near that ranking.
I did notice that Markus Grossman and Terrell McDonald are both rated 3 stars on rivals.

Agree.

Sign all current commits, sign a starter quality guard, one more outside LB/DE ready to make the playing rotation, and two high talent WRs and we are competing for a second championship. Then with our last few spots take the best talent available.

Great chance Grossman starts imho. Wouldn't shock me if Mitchell and Parham joined him.

I'd be really surprised if TD Marshall is not a starter. And I think Austin Watkins could also be in the starting lineup. Depth at receiver has the potential to be a strength.

TD Marshall. Interesting. Have you had a chance to see Marshall practice at UAB last year or have you talked to team members about him recently? Or is your anticipation based on his talent out of high school? I would really love to see him healthy and playing to his potential.

I have seen him practice and I have talked to people inside the program. He was a chance to be special.

Thats exciting to hear! We need some special WR talent to combine w TJ3. Thank you for the response.

Will Mitchell, Fair, or Grossman be with us in the spring?

There's a grad transfer from Auburn (Jaunta'vius Johnson) that I think could be a sleeper. Was injured early on in his career and got stuck behind some really good DT's. I think he could definitely come in and be in the rotation at DT. Could potentially be a 2-year guy as well because he could apply for a 6th season in 2020 since he missed 2 full seasons with injuries in 2015 and 2016.

He transfered to Colorado
