Without knowing anything too specific about this guy (other than what's listed above), this seems like the type of dude we should be after - a big body who, if a numbers game dictates, might be able to flip from one line to the other (like .... this year.)

We ( Well I do ) want 12 to 14 BIG MEN this year. Yes he looks good and if he is quick - DT or DE if not super quick - OL.

BUS, I agree with your logic about loading up on big guys, but 12-14? Then you run into the problem of all of them graduating within a year of each other. I would think maybe 8-10 this year, and then make sure to re-stock next year. And the year after that. And the year after that. And every year.

I kind of disagreee.

I think we stock up NOW. We can red shirt some of these guys and spread them out a little.

We are in real need and the sooner we get bigger the sooner we consistantly WIN.

We are small and do not have depth. Bring in a herd and then red-shirt some.

I guess I'm for... Gett'en while the gett'en is good.

Yes we have other needs so that leaves 12 to 14 for other positions.

I agree. If they're talented, take them. Some will play, some will redshirt, some may transfer, flunk out, quit, get hurt. We need to be 3 deep at each position. Better to have too many than too little.

A few months ago, we had four quarterbacks. Now we have two. We're a sprained ankle away from having no backup.

Stock up.
The attitude dictates that you don't care whether she comes, stays, lays, or prays. I mean whatever happens, your toes are still tappin'. Now when you got that, then you have the attitude.

Your logic comes through loud and clear, but don't say something like that!
