Are there rumors of Prestwood to DE if we land more OT's? Because I hadn't heard that...

 

[TerryTate]

That's me speculating. Big guy with athleticism. I'd rather have him at OT.

 

[Freeman Ara]

Ok just wondering. Hadn't seen that anywhere.

 

[IanBr22]

Ishaq Williams will be on campus for an visit Aug. 5th. Anyone hear of our chances with this one? We need an elite DE.

 

[Irish.Ca]

and we need them to bring a friend

 

[BGIF]

Are there rumors of Prestwood to DE if we land more OT's? Because I hadn't heard that...

NO.

Carrico and Springmann are the swing guys that could line up on the other side of the ball depending on how the class ends up and how they progress.

 

[Maz315]

BGIF is right. We have two guys already who can play on both sides of the ball, we dont need a 3rd. Springmann is pretty much locked in at DE, Carrico is a toss-up and when we land Lynch we have our elite DE.

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

ISD article seems to think Anthony Rabasa and Anthony Chickillo are being recruited for OLB. It slips my mind where I also found the same about Ishaq Williams. Just food for thought...

[Ricochet]

Rabasa is without question being recruited as an OLB as he has nowhere near the size to be a 3-4 DE.

There is a threshold that some of you just don't get. You can only add so much mass before it effects speed, quickness and athleticism.
