Yeah, cause having studs redshirt means his last class was a bust.
And besides, you bringing up the class he put together in less than two months is a clear deflection from the argument, which is about this year's class.
4/7 of the guys you got that we wanted were DB's. Remind me how that reflects your preaching about how you guys cherry pick and we're just in a superficial race to beat you head-to-head...
If they are redshirting, it doesn't mean they are a bust. But to say they are successful is jumping the gun as well, since they aren't seeing any PT. It goes both ways. You can't say they are beasts just because they haven't played yet, either. If we're talking about the current class and that class only, then fine. Somebody needs to specify that next time. It holds true for them as well. They haven't stepped foot on the field yet. Nobody will argue that, on paper, AU's class looks solid. On paper. Same thing for Alabama's. On paper, looks pretty damn good. But we won't know how good until some of these kids get on the field.
This Alabama class was known to be targeting DBs, WRs, and TEs specifically. We lose 2 starters and 4 backups in the secondary after this season. Those guys are:
Javier Arenas (starter)
Marquis Johnson (Arenas' backup/nickelback)
Chris Rogers (backup)
Ali Sharrief (backup)
Justin Woodall (starter)
Tyrone King (backup)
We currently have 4 DBs committed, and it could be 5 depending on how we use Keenan Allen. Of those DBs, we have one 5*, two 4*, one 3*, and depending on Keenan Allen, one more 5*.
We only lose 1 WR, however we have 3 committed to this class right now. That could be 4 WR committed, again, depending on what we do with Keenan Allen (5* commit). WR isn't a huge area of concern, as we only lose 1 after this season, but they are looking for some more playmakers. TE isn't a huge area of concern either, however, we do utilize the TEs alot in different roles, and we don't have a clear playmaker there beyond Peek. For example, Michael Williams, a 4* converted DE, is playing as Peek's backup. We have a 4* and a 3* TE committed right now. Vogler will more than likely see PT from day one.
So, if you look at it, we're getting folks where we need folks. DB is the single most biggest need on our team after this season, and I think we are filling it nicely.
