What's the right group of recruits for this year?

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Hatari Byrd? Haven't heard that name in a while.

Well if I am right I am a genius. If I am not then it was just a wild a$$ guess.


If someone guesses the rest of the class perfectly I will give you all my vbucks.

Apparently he has a official set for the Michigan game.

 

[STLDomer]

I would love to steal Moore + Byrd + Quick (2014) as a package. Package deals from Fresno are the best!

 

[GBdomer]

Bryd will take a Notre Dame official. I know UCLA leads.

 

[beryirish]

My dart board prediction. You can't guess the same as everyone else right?

WR: Alston/Cunningham
DL: Rochell
LB: Mattingly, Cox, Smith, Randolph, Anzalone
CB: Moore
ATH: Barnwell
S: Byrd

Just one more D-lineman to make it two? - Matuska and Rochell

I would imagine they would emphasis taking more --- I'm starting to feel good about Don Bosco Mufasa or something like that

 

[NDPhilly]

Now of only TP would give his prediction.....

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I like our chances with Sherit, just have that feeling he goes elsewhere like UF or possibly Stanford.

As for Muhammad, I would love to believe it. Just need some more evidence.

DL depth is a major concern for me. If there's one position group we need to have at full depth, it's DL. Assuming Matuska sticks and Stockton isn't asked back, we'll have 8/12 for 2013. We need at least two more DL, and preferably 3.

 

[STLDomer]

Big Skill DEs: Tuitt Rochell Matuska
Rush DEs: Muhammad Sherit
Balanced DEs: Day Hounshell

TBD: Okwara

NTs: Nix Shwenke Springmann

If we were to get Muhammed I would expect him Sherit Williams Shembo and Okwara all to see time as pass rushers

That'd be quite nice for me

Will Shwenke be back next year? What's his eligibility?

As is mine. And as you can see from everyones responses, the only ones people think we have a chance at are Rochell + Sherit and/or Muhammad.

I would love to get a guy like Josh Augusta but I am not sure how his grades are.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Will Shwenke be back next year? What's his eligibility?

He's got two more years. Will likely be done after the 2013 season.

 

[beryirish]

from how good he has been doing and improving I would love to have him for two more years.

 

[yankeeND]

What I would like to see

QB- Zaire
RB- any speed back
WR- Onwualu, Robinson, D. Robinson, save one for elite i.e. Treadwell
TE- Huerman
OL- Elmer, McGovern, Biven, McGlinchey, and Montelus
DL- Matuska, Rochell, Sherit, plus one of Pagano/Munger (really want 4)
LB- Smith, Anzalone, Muhammad, Randolph, and Mattingly's
DB- Kinlaw, Butler, Mackenzie, and one of Ball/Byrd/Moore

This is definetly more of a wish list and I didn't count how many spots, just what I would like to see it happen.

 

[NDPhilly]

I think if we offer Khalfani Muhammed we would get him.

 

[yankeeND]

That would be just fine with me, but irregardless of who it is I would like to see us take one. We look loaded at RB now but with injuries you just never know.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

We're loaded this year at RB/ Z WR. We lose Riddick, Toma, and probably Wood after this season, which leaves us with 6/8. And that's assuming Roberson can provide some semblance of quality depth. If his knee injury turns out to be career-ending (as many suspect), then we've really only got 5/8 for 2013 and beyond. While we don't absolutely need a RB in this class due to the quality of those 5 guys, it would be risky to skip on the position entirely.

I hate the non-proper word of "irregardless".

You have mistakenly used "irregardless" when you meant “regardless.” Regardless means “regard less,” “without regard,” or despite something. For example, Squiggly will eat chocolate regardless of the consequences.

The prefix ir- (i-r) is a negative prefix, so if you add the prefix ir to a word that's already negative like regardless, you're making a double-negative word that literally means “without without regard.”



That... my friends... is how you get repped by Dshans...

I couldn't agree more brotha, you just can't pass on skill positions. With the o-line we are building just give me a burner that doesn't put the ball on the ground!

[Old Man Mike]

Whiskey, you know how incessant I am about loading the bigs [or everything else dies]. That's why I opted for four D-Linemen which as we have seen is a very unpopular wish around here. I share a little of your concern about RB/Slot hybrid also, which is why I opted for one, though I have no clue of whom he could be --- we need to evaluate that position in unorthodox ways now --- simple conventional superbacks might not actually best fit what Kelly's now trying to do. If, however it came down to a pinch between a 4th D-Line and the RB/Slot [this year only], I'd go with the D-Lineman. Why? As you say, we have five apparently REALLY good hybrid backs [GAIII, Russell, Mahone, Neal, Carlisle]. That's almost awesome talent if the newbies are anywhere near their press clippings. I agree that Roberson may never play. If God forbid there are other injuries, then it's my opinion that we have a great wildcard in McDaniel and maybe even others over there in the D-Backfield, if it came to that. If we take a whiff at RB this time, and if three incoming DBs manifest at corner, I wouldn't be surprised to see Cam shift back anyway.

Sniff, sniff ... honk. It's so encouraging that my pain-in-the-*** nagging has not been for naught!

Were I to point out each and every grammatical abomination I come across on this and other internet sites it would be a 24 hour job that garnered an unmanageable mob of pitchfork and torch bearing "haters" storming my front door.

I'm happy to see that, in my twilight years, that at least a few young fokkers have taken up the cause. A little respect for proper form is a good and encouraging thing.

I feel that another round of sniffing and honking is in order. Bear in mind that I struggled in my Freshman Year of Studies English Composition class. My prof showed no mercy. I resented her, but I learned a lesson or two.

Long live education. Effective and affective communication is invaluable.

[peoriairish]

Just because I'm not exactly sure how it works, and there are quite a few '13 kids planning on doing it, how would EEs enter into this equation? This seems especially important with the low numbers we had last go around. Any expansion on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

EEs can be counted against last year's class. This can be helpful for working around the 25-per-class maximum, but it's irrelevant to the 85-per-program maximum.

All these estimates of 2013 class space are dealing with the hard cap of 85, so EEs won't have any effect.

As promised I did my homework and googled, irregardless. Google immediately confirmed that I am in fact a dumbass, but like Koyack, I absolutely, no doubt about it ooze potential!

 

[dshans]

You do, in fact, ooze potential. Let's now discuss unnecessary commas, shall we? There is no need for a comma to separate "googled" and "irregardless." Argument could effectively made that "google" has become such a common term that capitalization of a proper name is no longer necessary since it's become a commonly accepted term for researching something via the internet, but I feel the reference is still a bit too young to not merit quotation marks to denote a common usage of a trade name.

By-the-by, the phrase "... but like Koyack, I absolutely, no doubt about it ooze potential!" more appropriately should be punctuated as "I absolutely,no doubt about it,ooze potential!"

Further lessons will cost you vBucks.

[Old Man Mike]

yankeeND, I at least really DO like your pleasant approach to our having-gentle-fun nonsense. You really DO "have potential." Please keep up the congenial smiling face; I can't tell you the percentage of high testosterone "never wrong" [insert unflattering noun] we have here at IE, but it is WAY too high. I'm sending a 1200 pound green rep your way to show you that I mean it.
