I believe Posey waited to announce because that day was the day his grandfather had past away. If it was not for that I believe it would have came out when he committed to the coaches.

I know why he waited, but he was still a silent.

Isn't this A.J. Johnsons boy ? If so, that's the #1 reason I wanted a commit from this cat.

For those folks that are "in the know" how do we stand on DT's in this class?

Yes he was but him committing to NC State would indicate they were never a package deal.

Check out the Gabe Wright, Allen Carson, and Maurice Couch threads. Those are the hot names for DT at the moment.

Could be some calls were made saying that our DT position will be thin and that Tennessee is interested again?

Yeah, I don't see any reason that this isn't a proposed package deal. A.J. is a fine linebacker, and Thomas could be a beast in the proper system. Also, I don't think this is a coincidence he decommitted. Probably means we see one or two DT's dismissed possibly.

Possibly, but you might be reading too much into it. If some of our current DTs are getting dismissed, we'll need to replace them with guys who can step in right away - either JUCOs or blue chip recruits who can enroll early and be ready to contribute as a true freshman.

Not saying Niles can't be a great DT, but he's more of a project.

Also, it'd be weird for him to decommit just because we called him up and started recruiting him again. Usually if a player is already committed and his dream school comes calls, he doesn't just decommit, he switches his commit to that school. When guys just decommit without switching, it's usually more the case that they aren't happy with their commitment school and want to open things up to several schools.

It's possible, but I doubt he decommitted just because CDD called him up and said we're interested in him again.

It just doesn't seem coincidental to me, could be though.

I dont see how Niles helps this program at all. I hate saying that but there is a reason why he committed to NC State so early. Definitely not worth a package deal in my opinion.

What is your opinion on Carson?

Pretty much the same as Niles. I'm okay with taking one guy at that level because of the ridiculous need at the position, but more than that is pushing it considering this program has needs at just about every position.

Well considering we might be down to 4-5 DT total after all of this is said and done we can't be to picky if someone like Niles wants to jump on board. Besides are we really in good enough shape with higher caliber players to say no thanks to guys like Carson and Niles?

Unfortunately you are likely correct. They do need a bunch of DT's in this class, but I would think they could get higher quality guys.
