But I was able to talk to some coaches and staff about Jeff
They said they are optimistic but the likelihood he comes here is greatly diminished
Especially after the Cal offer
The Indiana and Iowa State offer weren't huge and the coaches were still positive he was coming here
But that Cal offer kills
Also this weekend he is going to Jackson State

I have to admit this is my fault for getting people's hopes up since I didn't just keep my mouth shut about him
I was just excited since he is going to be a dominant player
It sucks that he probably won't be coming home

So how do you feel about the DE and DT positions next year with incoming recruits and returnees? Jose Ramirez was hugh last year.

Absolutely fantastic
We were going to be dominant with Adams and we still are
We have a bunch of dudes
Also, we have 3 massive pieces back
Alex Merritt, Mikey Haney, and the biggest piece JAAVON BROWN
I think Jaavon is an immediate replacement of Crawford
Now we have Ugo Noskie who should make a lot of noise over the next couple of years

I think Minkah, Carter, Joseph, Sterling, and Mikey make up one of the best DE groups we have had in a couple of years

Edified, is this the year we see Swindle break out? I was and still am super high on him He was a very high recruit and seems like a disruptor. Sounds like our D-line and Ends could be fantastic next season

We have so many young guys on that line
It is very possible that next season we see a breakout by Swindle, Evans, Minkah, Bogard, and Miles
I am only mentioning them because they are really young and have years to go
We have so many guys on that line that one of them will find a way to get to the QB
And with new defensive schemes that other teams simply don't know yet, we should have a really good chance of having a top D-Line
When Neal came in he had a hell of a defense because no one knew it yet
I presume that Coach Needham and Johnson cook up something fierce
