OK, here's me moments ago when Clash stripped me of my former identity...

Took me a bit to put it together

Imagine starting the 2023 class with Keon Keeley, Brenan Vernon and Carnell Tate…

Well boys we got the first two legs of the parlay to hit. I have a feeling the next ‘23 won’t be Tate though unfortunately. This is where the casino asks to buy me out right?

Barring a surprise, CJ Williams will be the next to commit in the 2022 class. The question is, will they get someone before him at the BBQ. I have a feeling they will. My money is on Drayk Bowen or Anthony Specca (2024).

Bowen and Gilbert being on campus puts them in the realm of possibility for next. Markway of course has the date.

My goodness, this recruiting machine is so far ahead of where they were a year ago.

It seems we have already had enough '23 four and five stars on campus to fill the class.

And Mickens seems to have hit his stride.

Rhett, Gray, Tease, Moussa, Yaites. Wow.

+1. Lot of positive talk from DBs who visited yesterday and back to June. Could bump a host of threads. Shuler, Tease, Gray, Muhammad, Mack. Mickens might actually have a dilemma on his hand how he plays his cards with some

Have we given up all hope on AJ Harris already? Disappointing if so with his talent level and dad fully in our corner!

Not given hope but also not optimistic. Was listing BBQ visitors that had updates but didn’t bump each thread. In general CB and S have quite a bit of offers out and quite a bit got to campus in June and July.

I would guess that the Harris recruitment is similar to Xavier Nwankpa's in that I would think they're focused on filling the class without Harris in it. Meaning, whatever numbers they want, they'll fill the class with and take Harris if/whenever he wants in.

For who is next Loy said likely Shuler, given he has 8/15 set but “wouldn’t be shocked” if Flanagan was before him.

Not sure I buy the top 100 eval on Flanagan but it’ll look fantastic when it happens. A top 100 TE from De La Salle. West coast stays hot for ND. It’s getting a little trendy for the top talent in the PST.

Just a thought about 2023 class. It appears inevitable that the base defense will soon be a 3-3-5, or "dollar" in Marcus Freeman's terminology.

So I think the old formula of allocating scholarships on the defensive side will soon be obsolete and may even impact the finish to 2022.

Taken to its logical mathematical conclusion, we will be recrutiting 5 defensive backs for every 3 defensive linemen.

that will take some time to get used to.

Also, according to Freeman today in the PC he wants to go two deep at every position, meaning he wants 22 players playing in every game. With the depth we have, I’m all for this and if so it should be easier to recruit without worrying about the depth chart.

If and only if this happens on both sides of the ball is when we're finally competitive with the upper tier of college football

I want the whole line swapping in and out every down. Pure chaos! Even our QB won't know what to expect!

Well, Gattaca, I have reviewed my position and am casting all of my "Electrical Votes" for you as OL coach and strategist.

this may be the biggest surprise since the Visigoths sacked Rome 'bout 1700 years ago.

And chaos?? Well now, I subscribe to Friedrich Nietzsche.

" One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star"

Forget the spread and the West Coast and the Red Gun.

We will run the Dancing Star offense!.
