it could have something to do with them having other guys at his position that they are expecting to also commit soon and they want to make sure the space is there... I am hoping it's sampson saluone, the kid from utah but that is mostly just wishful thinking.

Keep in mind that these are just verbal commitments, national signing day isn't until Feb. 4, 2015.

Room must be made for quality DL. It's the hardest position(s) to recruit. You just don't turn your nose up to quality guy offering his services. GMG

See, that's the other thing. Saluone shouldn't have anything to do with Mcwhorter. Saluone is right at the top of my wish list, along with OTs Larry Hughes, Bryce Wilds, and Evan Curl.

But Saluone is a nose/1-tech DT. Mcwhorter is a 3-tech DT, or strong side DE. I think we should lock up Mcwhorter and turn our focuses to get a stud nose/1-tech. One of the position we've had the hardest time recruiting (our starting nose and backup are both converted DEs).

Here's what I think would be our best d-line class since Mac's been here:

Strongside DE - Cheatum Nose - Saluone

3-tech - Mcwhorter Weakside DE - Miller

If we only land 1 commit after our big recruiting weekend , it will be a major disappointment

That would be a really, really good DL signing class. Throw in underclass DL we have right now and that's brick wall. I am still super high on TJ Tauaalo. Not as a freshman, but I think he has All CUSA written all over him. I do think he'll contribute as a freshman though. The future is looking bright.

I agree. But I think we land a few of these kids who were visiting before the season starts. Jarvis Baxter is committing August 1st, and coming up here a week before his commitment date seems to be a good sign. The FloMo o-linemen (Barr and Curl), and D'erren Wilson. Plus maybe some others.
