Portal activity

KY hosting DE from Ohio St this weekend. High 4 star kid hope we land him. Darrion Henry Young is the kids name.
Something to get excited about. Guy's 6'5 upper 270s. UK apparently recruited him out of HS, from Cincy I think.
 
Don't know what Henry Young had to do with it, if anything, but OSU's run D was not very good.
 
Well so much for a thread about the portal activity. Guess OP should change the title to UGa vs Bama thread.
In my experience in over 10 years on this board, almost any thread more than 2 pages is almost certainly VERY off the original topic, lol!
 
I agree, his ultra conservative approach on the defensive side of dropping 7-8 into coverage against Young was not a good plan either. If he schemes the same gameplan this time around the results will be the same. Definition of insanity. Only game all year we played conservative on the defensive side of the ball. So conservative Bama wasn't even holding us.
Stoops has this same kind of thing too. He likes to make teams work down the field and play the odds of the other team stubbing their toe at some point, etc. But when you play these teams like we did this year in MIss St and UT that were exposing us in different ways you have to play more of a gamble d and try to get negative plays or turnovers with extra pressures and all of that. The last series of the UT game we started sending extra guys and they struggled with it completing the same passes…having to throw it a little earlier or just feeling the pressure on a throw….The pass rush has to be able to put pressure on the qb in those pass heavy offenses when they can hit their throws. However you have to do it. You have to become more of a playmaking d than maybe you prefer but you have to do it if that’s what it takes to get a pass rush
 
Absolutely, I believe in capitalism, it drives innovation. When talking about college athletics, it would seem to me, the closer you can get to a level playing field, the more interest that can be drawn in. NFL had to go to a salary cap, MLB had to go with a revenue sharing model. When you allow some of these win at all costs folks to have influence, see SMU, see UT for years, I just don't see how this model ends up being a good thing. TAMU has recruited well in the past, the level they are recruiting this year is insane.
It drives greed, corruption and elitism!

And that leads me to Covid, my Cat (named Monster) and my personal belief as to salvation . . . .

No. 1. Covid . . . .
 
7 from Bama and 2 from UGA, in the portal today. Ameer Sneed DB from Georgia might be someone to look at.

All you can really see is their HS rankings as they haven't played much but a former high 4 star OT, a 3 star cb, a 5 star LB though I'm sure we will go back to Texas

The 5 star LBer evidently is a talented TE as well, he might be slated for that side of the ball. I don't remember him out of high school. Marcus Banks ended up at Miss. St. instead of Miami. Wish we could have got involved with that one.

Billingsly is the TE, the 5 star LB is Drew sanders. He played some this year but broke his hand

Surprised UK didn’t pick up 1 or 2 DBs out of the portal before the start of this semester.
Matt Jones just namedropped corners from Colorado & Georgia who are in the portal. Usually he doesn't do this unless something going on.

The one from UGA makes sense to me. UGA plays coverage similar to UK and he only has a year I believe. Gives the staff a veteran back there without upsetting the apple cart for the young guys.
 
Pretty certain they can still enroll through Friday. That's the add deadline, and deadline for late enrollment. Getting tight, to be certain. Might hinge on how organized and truly motivated the transfer recruit is.
 
Not sure how a last second visit can be sched and done for a decision by Friday

Sucks, looks like we will go through Spring light on corners & have to wait for post spring additions to help for 2022

Yeah. It starts to look near impossible, really.

The ones we have will get plenty of reps
 
Interesting. Wasn’t he supposed to be a big get at the time? But didn’t really see the field.
