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.KY hosting DE from Ohio St this weekend. High 4 star kid hope we land him. Darrion Henry Young is the kids name.
Doesn't mean he's not a good player, maybe that's why he wants to move on from OSU.Don't know what Henry Young had to do with it, if anything, but OSU's run D was not very good.
Evidently nothing. Looks like he barely played for some reason.Don't know what Henry Young had to do with it, if anything, but OSU's run D was not very good.
They had several good DL and signed the top 2 out of the '21 class. This is simply attritionEvidently nothing. Looks like he barely played for some reason.
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!Well so much for a thread about the portal activity. Guess OP should change the title to UGa vs Bama thread.
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 rushI 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.
It drives greed, corruption and elitism!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.
Right . I’m just saying you can’t blame OSU’s poor run defense on him if he wasn’t on the field.They had several good DL and signed the top 2 out of the '21 class. This is simply attrition

He was a 4 star out of HS two years. Definitely worth looking at. Not sure what he's done at AuburnIs Auburn CB Eric Reed worth looking at?
I am thinking yesIs Auburn CB Eric Reed worth looking 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 Texas7 from Bama and 2 from UGA, in the portal today. Ameer Sneed DB from Georgia might be someone to look at.
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.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
Billingsly is the TE, the 5 star LB is Drew sanders. He played some this year but broke his handThe 5 star LBer evidently is a talented TE as well, he might be slated for that side of the ball.

Ah ok, I thought I read his bio as playing both sides in high school. My bad.Billingsly is the TE, the 5 star LB is Drew sanders. He played some this year but broke his hand
That may be true, the fifth player in the portal is also a former high 4 star LB from GAAh ok, I thought I read his bio as playing both sides in high school. My bad.
I read about several players. I probably got him mixed up. Was he playing outside backer? Maybe Mike Stoops has some connections, we could use some help on the edge.That may be true, the fifth player in the portal is also a former high 4 star LB from GA
Rivals lists them both as OLBI read about several players. I probably got him mixed up. Was he playing outside backer? Maybe Mike Stoops has some connections, we could use some help on the edge.
Good call on Stoops. Could factor.I read about several players. I probably got him mixed up. Was he playing outside backer? Maybe Mike Stoops has some connections, we could use some help on the edge.
Tisdale might wind up a Little All-American at VSU. Gibson should get some run at Marshall. Won't be surprised if he winds up on an all conference team.Looks like outgoing transfers Gibson landed at marshal and Tisdale at Valdosta state. Good luck to those young men
Frazier is the #1 or #2 juco CB depending on the service. We could still use some help there.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.Surprised UK didn’t pick up 1 or 2 DBs out of the portal before the start of this semester.
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.Matt Jones just namedropped corners from Colorado & Georgia who are in the portal.

Yeah. It starts to look near impossible, really.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
The ones we have will get plenty of repsNot sure how a last second visit can be sched and done for a decision by Friday

I thought you could only use the portal 1 time . Am I wrong about that ?WR Tre'Von Morgan has entered the portal.
