CB D'Andre Barnes

This is nothing against this kid at all, and I have no ability to designate the potential good CB from and okay one, and a poor one. 

But we have had some offers in the Frost years where people would immediately call it a reach. This seems like it would definitely fit the mold if say Frost was offering. Is the mindset different because its Rhule and he has a great history of developing under rated guys? Or is this really still a reach since we already have 27 commits, 11 transfers,  and approximately 102 kids for 85 schollies? I guess I don't understand why we are going after even more guys, who at least upfront aren't spectacular. If you are already at a signing limit and you have a chance at a high caliber guy, then you figure it out later and take him, but you typically don't see that with 136 best CB

I don't disagree, especially when I think he would be the 19th DB on the roster. So, there's obviously going to be some attrition after Spring Camp.  

Is he really better than the guys we already have on the roster and will probably be asked to move on to make room for him?

I guess we will have to trust Rhule and see what happens.

Two things - (1) it could very well be guys are already planning to move on and he's filling a spot that will be vacated no matter what. And (2) even if he's not better now, the questions is will his 4-5 years be better than the 1-3 remaining for certain guys on the roster. There are guys who have been here a while and they might be role players in their remaining time. Makes a lot of sense on both sides for them to go somewhere they can play more, and the team can bring in a guy who has more time to develop and see what happens.

This class including transfers shaped up better than I thought.   That said, the coaching staff needs to do a way better job getting production out of the recruits vs what the previous staff did.

I think that one is pretty obvious. That transition class was terrible.

I’m not just talking about the transition class.  The previous staff did a horrible job getting much production from any of their classes and were constantly recruiting over their misses from the previous year players that couldn’t contribute.

Again, that one is obvious lol 

 
Malcolm Hartzog was one of the lowest rated commits from the '22 class and he ended up starting as a true freshman and playing pretty well. Looking forward to hopefully seeing some of these lower rated guys turn into studs for us.
