Scout updates their scout 300 for 2012

Submitted by Gobluegr on
Thanks to mgouser GBOD2 for posting about this in a previous thread. Kaleb Ringer dropped out of four star range, but AJ Williams got bumped up to a four star after he was moved to an OT on their site. Joe Bolden moved up from #224 overall to #94 overall. And Tom Strobel also moved up significantly from #142 to #73. http://recruiting.scout.com/2/1129069.html

I am sure there has been some discussion about this, but I cannot help but see Mattison going more and more towards a 3-4 defense in the coming years.  The abundance of quality linebackers in addition to the types of defensive linemen being recruited just seems to fit this philosophy.  Pipkins seems to be a prototypical nose tackle and guys like Wormley, Godin, and Strobel seem to have the size to play the ends in this type of defense.  This leaves players such as Mario and Ryan to occupy that 'rush' lineback role, while still having three other linebacker spots designated for players such as Morgan, Demens, Ross, Bolden, etc.

I have wondered about this as well. Didn't Mattison use a 3-4 for us back in the good old days, or am I remembering incorrectly?

In either case, it would seem like we are recruiting the personnel so that we would have that option should he wish to do so. If Pipkins isn't the prototypical 3-4 nose tackle, I sure don't know who is . . . .

Know more after osu game concerning Garnett, but is it greedy for me to deep down want Payton to commit on the west coast so he doesn't steal a spot I believe diggs will take??? In my eyes diggs>>>>>>>payton all day. We need a stud wr again, I believe diggs is manningham 2.0 at the LEAST

Do we think we're using Williams as a little bit of an offensive line insurance in case we don't get the likes of banner or Garnett? We've already got 3 TE including the other 3 already here. According to espn, Garnett visits this week. I think countess pulls diggs and we also add yuri wright (who has had Michigan and rutgers at the top), Dunn and darboh.

This thread and only this thread do not open all the way for me even if I refresh it.

I'm using google chrome and this isn't the first time.  Does anybody know what's going on?
