Carvin's rating has to be the absolute worst on the network. There are almost zero flaws with his physical makeup. He doesn't look "sloppy" at all like several OL 247 has rated as 4*'s (Kinnard, Dirstine, etc). Offers from UGA, UF, Auburn, Bama, Tennessee and high priorities at that. That's all I need to know.
I agree AT and Martinez are both rated too low by them, but at least they are 4*'s. This one is totally bizarre.
I agree. It's getting worse over there. Jatavious Harris is out here running 10.6 at State at 6'3 and just really a freak athlete. His rating is a joke. Same with Carvin and Dixon, who is one of shiftiest and best playmakers in the entire 2018 class. He has an 88 on 247 lol. Gotta take these ratings with a grain of salt for sure. There's several examples.
The future of both lines look good. We've always had great skill players. Just need to put everything together. LB is the great void that is really concerning me.
Regarding LBs, I wonder if the staff sees a few guys on our current roster as their desired starters that also fit our scheme. Maybe they do not see LB as such an important need this class compared to other positions. Bituli, Kirkland, Jumper, Sapp, McDowell, Berry, Smith, and the newcomers is a pretty strong LB group. However, we all know how injuries can deplete a position group, so it would be nice to get at least 1-2 elite LBs this class. If nothing else, it only helps add to our quality depth at that position.
I think freshmen, Malik Gray will end up a LB, along with Reid and Ignont. So that's 3 from last year. If we get Cam Jones, he will be a LB. My number 1 LB on UTs board is Richard Jibunor. Some think, he could end up a DE, but he is OLB, no doubt, imo. Apparently, Auburn and UT are the leaders for Jibunor. Get Jones and Jibunor, UT should be in pretty good shape, this recruiting class at LB, imo
I think Gray stays at safety, but I agree on the rest. I think Page could turn into a very good linebacker for us too.
