Nice breakdown. I know we were supposedly in the ear of that 4-star LB out of Washington.I would certainly say the obvious - he has had the least recruiting success of any of the ACs. I think he has no commits. Cooper is the lead on McGahee.
It's harder to tell if this means he is bad at recruiting for sure because we don't know how they allocated slots to LBs in this class and how much they are planning on growing safeties into LBs. We didn't actually have any highly ranked LBs in for OVs. We had some 4 stars do UVs earlier in ther spring, but they opted for top schools - Williams and Mothudi both committed to Oregon, Newby committed to USC. Tyanthony Smith committed to A&M, Okoronkwo committed to Bama. Those were good to get in for UVs, aznd getting them to agree to an OV was probably a tough pull.
But I would say he looks like our biggest recruiting question mark going forward.
The strategy is interesting if it’s truly about recruiting DBs and transitioning them to LBers. Some intriguing commits that potentially fit that mold.
