re: Are we recruiting Adin Huntington from ULM?

At this point we shouldn’t just take someone to add numbers. We have the numbers, we need a 1 year instant starter. Huntington could be a bust after jumping up in competition that we are then stuck with for two years. Like are we positive he is an upgrade over a guy like Lee?

We have 4 scholarships to give, there's no reason to not add 1 or 2 more DT.

Of the 8 scholarship DT we have, 4 of them are true freshmen or Kimo moving from OL to DL. You cant really count on those guys this year. A 5th guy is Shone Washington coming from JUCO as well.

We absolutely need to at least 1 if not 2 more DTs. There's guys out there like Huntington, Terrell Allen and Thomas Gore who have plenty of experience, have played well at least in the past and no reason to not go after them. Especially with the playing time experience they would at least bring in.

The freshman from Oregon last year wouldnt be a bad add too as a 4-star with 4 years remaining.

Again, we have the spots and any of those guys could turn into rotational guys easily.

Adding* : It would be so nice if McKinley comes in able to make some sort of immediate impact. Would handle a lot of issues.

I think we need to two best DTs we can find (regardless of how good the are). When you discuss numbers, you have to look at those that can actually compete at the level we play at. Our numbers are very low.
