2008 Recruiting Wars

_ Richard is open right now, but he was Def. MVP of the state championship game with 13 tackles and 2 sacks. He needs to work on his coverage in space, but he has very good athletic ability. _

Do we project him as a Safety or OLB...I have seen him listed as both.

I say safety...

I noticed that Curry is listed as High Interest in ULM and Low Interest in Louisiana, probably because we are signing Gauthier

Probably so but I love speed at the LB position...Speed Kills and thats one of the things we lack in our front 7.

He is also still committed to UTEP. Ohh and ULM has a QB committed as well in Morvant from Acadiana

_ The Cajun staff had Glazer rated higher, I don't know if we are going to trip Gumm. He is more of a nose tackle, we have Ramsey, Adams and now Dean, _

Dean is 6 ft. 280 and runs a 5.3 and is rated as **, whereas Glazer is 6 ft. 3", 285 lbs. and runs a 5.0 and is rated **** and was recruited by Kansas among others. Dean will need to put on more weight to handle 300+ lb. interior linemen and that will only make him slower. Who else was recruiting him? What is the upside to a 6 ft. slow DT? Bustle keeps recruiting huge OL but needs to seriously beef up the defense. Glazer is a great start. And, we seem to have a few DT & DE coming back from last year. But, our DEs are always too light at under 235 lbs. and we never have a pass rush. I thought our #1 priority this year was DL, but so far 80% of our recruits are on offense.

Dean might not have the top end speed but he is explosive....he had i believe 18 sacks this year. He will be a nice NT for us. He just needs to be a rock that is hard to get out of the way. The more blockers that our DT's take up the mroe our DE's and LB's will be able to run around and make plays.

True dat. I would rather have Gauthier than Curry anyway so I'm happy
