Things discussed:

• Dax made it a good narrative, imagine if Hinton and Charbonnet committed
• Cornelius Johnson is an important get—need a Darboh in this class.
• Quintel Kent: found last summer and had a great senior year.
• Three slot guys? Giles Jackson=Rondale Moore? Yo-yo'ing TEs and slots
• Quenton Johnson is signing with his teammates. Getting back that speed they lost when Delano Hill and Dymonte Thomas left, and these guys are faster
• Zach Charbonnet gets tackled well. Brian(!) issues a Fred Jacksonism
• Warinner on the recruiting trail. Recalling the 2013 OL class—let's not have this one fall apart like that. Sam's favorite: Karsen Barnhart, who's going to be better than Devonte Dobbs (not Logan Brown). Building your own lineman from a quasi-TE is better than trying to subtract from an already 340-pound kid.
• Talking DL: Aubrey's potential. Sam sees Aidan Hutchinson, Kwity and Uche as a very good DE rotation, Vilain is further ahead with this injury than he was with the last so he's back in the conversation.
• NT? Jeter is the new Mone, Mazi is the new Aubrey, Dwumfour's got a shot but he's got to learn to be a run defender. Kemp has to gain weight to be a full-time 3-tech. Don Brown's defense needs a DT who can create pressure
• Freshman factors: Dax Hill, Mazi and Hinton.
• Two-deepers getting redshirts, would like to see some freshmen.
• Hoops: Early unsustainable two-point defense. Flowers was throwing up some garbage.
