where do go and for what? Looking at the offers page on Rivals. there's not much left for LBer and DL. There's an OL or two still have a shot at and maybe a WR or two. Other than that??
Hope we can finish recruiting strong.

We will get at least one more OL and maybe two. We need to get at least 1 LB. We will get at least another WR or two. At least 1 more CB.

I think we need to load up on Wide receivers as well as some larger Db's.

I think we need to load up on Wide receivers as well as some larger Db's. You need to remember, we were missing 5 of our top WR's this season and already have two commits with one or two more coming. No worries at this position. Plus we get our top from this season back as well. |

No worries at this position. that is true, however, I think we saw how little depth we have at that position by losing 3 guys and not ahving anybody behind them that had the athletic ability to adjust to the ball while running their routs. It was really hard to watch. one of my major concerns is the depth of this team at the skill positions. WE have plenty of Runningbacks, some good tight ends. I would hate to have that attrition affect our season as much as it did this year. also, I was hoping to land a few Big DL in hopes to replace long, who was a monster this year. whoever we do get, I hope theyre good;) |

WR position should be very strong next year. |

We have 10 WR on the roster. The real need is DL.

is Beed a lock to come back. The guys who originally verbal 'd to SMU- where are they going- now that UCLA has added a coach from SMU. WR - Lockett and Denso have a year under their belt ,plus the others coming in. You can never have enough good lineman on both sides of the ball- bottom line many games are won or lost in the the trenches. Replacing J .Long is not easy in the 3-3-5

I'd love to see him switched to the Aztec position. |

We actually have two less scholarships if we bring M. Seau and R.Jack back next year. I would like to go get a. Juco DT who could at very least give us depth

300 lb. plus nose tackle, and a big mean middle linebacker to start. Agree wholeheartedly on both. With Long and burris we gave up 170 rush yds/game, enough to rank 79th against the run. With both of them gone who steps up? Watching the better teams in our conference and the first round of bowl games tells me we aren't big enough in the defensive front seven. We're probably okay for MW competition but as we go into 2013 and beyond I'm not so sure. |

He made most of his tackles from the side or from the back. When they ran right at him, not so good, especially in short yardage situations. |

The heir apparent to Burris. I think his quickness would be ideal for getting in the backfield. |

I think his quickness would be ideal for getting in the backfield. He's not big enough to play the rush linebacker position that Burris played in the 3-3-5. He'd get killed going against a lineman or tight end every play. At MLB he has freedom to roam around and take advantage of his speed/instincts. He's fine where he's at. |

I'd move Fely to one of the Safety spots, not because he can't get it done at LB, but because the LB position is deeper and we need our safeties to make more plays. Fely is a serious playmaker!
