We’re losing a couple 300lbers up front. Hopefully we find some older guys in the portal that can play immediately

Based on what I've been seeing with commitments throughout the year, we've been light on Defensive lineman (DT & DE). Not many commits in that category. Looks like ee'll have to hit the portal to find some beef there. Hoping this works out! We are losing Narcisse, Bayliss, Mims and Miller on the DL. Hope Lawson stays for his final year.

there is also a signing day in February

Like everything else it touches, NIL and easy transfers has ruined the excitement of NSD.

100% Doesn't really matter who signed today. Players in/players out. Who cares

[Policarp]

We signed 2 DL and 3 LB from Portal last year.....all 5 played meaningful snaps and were
prominent in our 2 deep rotations. Confident Des et staff can build from this base again this year as well.

Good class overall with lots of speed at the skilled positions. There are several holes in this class at this point, interior DL and MLB. Howard may be moved inside eventually like Ashe in the previous class, but I believe both of these positions will be filled from the Portal and JC route. They are clearly not done. Now we will find out how good the staff is at developing their own recruits specifically with the last two classes.

I trust their decision making especially in recruiting and developing. That is just the thing that sticks out to me. DL is the glaring weakness on this team and we are losing a lot. Just expected to have more than 2 DL signees.

I can only imagine we will go JC, portal or NSD in February. But I agree…we look thin.
