Are we gonna take any corners with these last few schollies?

[Country Stylz]

We need a couple a big time corners. Bad.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

The only names I've heard are Fulton and Cuffee.  Believe the former is highly unlikely, and assume the latter isn't far behind that.

Come to think of it, I've heard Alexander's name thrown out there too.

[Country Stylz]

Fulton would be great. 247 has him favoring LSU with us having an outside shot. Would love to see us land a great cover guy with legit speed.

[scruf]

The corners have made a few mistakes but the play at safety has been substandard. Cornelius Floyd really would've helped the depth in the secondary this year if he could've stayed healthy. I look for Willie Sykes to contribute more on defense next year as well after mostly playing special teams this year.

[Country Stylz]

Been seeing a lot of separation this year. Not giving up on our young guys yet but it seems that we have been going with taller corners that may have trouble with speedy recievers. Hoping the young guys are just inexperienced and will play well next year. I'm sure players like Pulley and Cornelius Floyd have the ability though.

Correct! Gaines has shown flashes of brilliance as he always has, but it is like a broken record, safety and LB play is not up to SEC level, and at times G5 level it seems. Turner and spaight made us look really good last year. I believe Tolliver is struggling to play the Nickel position as well, I believe he would be playing much better if he were at one of the 2 CB positions. Liddell and ramirez may not be the answers or they could be just too Green!

I think Liddell and Ramirez just need more time. Liddell got a lot of run last year but he still split a lot of snaps with Turner. Ramirez is thinking too much but once he gets this year under his belt he should be much better. I agree he has potential. I think other players will emerge at S like Willie Sykes and Nate Dalton or possibly even a player switching positions from offense. I've always thought Duwop would be an all-conference type at S.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

And we only have 1 S committed this class.  I was thinking we'd be targeting 2...maybe we are, but just haven't heard any names lately.

[Wildhog]

All these needs and no room to sign anyone. Sounds like we've got some dead weight on our team.

[redeye]

I think our secondary is just young.  We have some talent, but they need time.

Accurate. I could name 5 guys without looking at the roster but I'm not going to do that here for obvious reasons.

[secneahog]

Collins.
Dean.
Toliver.
Pulley.
Sykes.
Dalton.
Floyd.
Liddell.
Coley.
Ramirez.
Richardson.
Phillips.
Byron Keaton.
IMG walkon.
This class we have Edwards.

We could take one more. But were pretty loaded at the secondary spot.
We can get a couple next class and be fine.

I actually agree.  I'm not that worried about the secondary.  We have some depth there.

Same here. We have some young and talented corners.  We dont need to go a class without signing any, but we dont need to overdo it.  We are fine there for a couple years.

I forget what year it was, but I remember MOTHO signing almost half a class with just secondary.

Ah, one of my favorite topics. Wasn't that 2004? 2002? Wound up with Matteral Richardson out of that mess, which was productive, but we were tossing out scholarships like Sonic tator tot coupons at the local playground.

The one we all forget was the DL search a few years later. We got Malcolm Shepperd but wanted 3-4 more and couldn't even find names. They actually worked that one really hard, trying to find guys to get in on late without uphill battles (committed to decent mid-majors, or already with standing offers from P5 schools - needed an easy road) and couldn't even find warm bodies.

You should view the Robb Smith Monday presser.

He does a good job a explaining about "the fit" in pass coverage, how it requires every player understanding and executing very specific directions to make the coverage work.

Based on what he is saying I think some of it may be inexperience, some of it may be a hole at S at times, but I don't think it's that our corners aren't fast enough.

[Dropkick]

Looks like we are gonna have more schollies to offer than we thought.

[JaketheSnake]

People seem to forget what a mess we have been for so long.  We actually have a plan for all phases of the game in recruiting now!
