YsuPride:
Lets hope we get some portal transfers with size and experience...Looking at the class seems like no one had any serious offers  because of size other than the Chambers kid from PA and the kid from Niles.   Other than that who knows.  Redshirt season for most.   Lets hope the few transfer portal commits we got pan out.   Still one more spring signing to go.

go guins:
Honestly, least impressive group in DPs time here. Gardner might help rest are all going to be redshirt. 265 OL?  Take at least a year if he had great skill. Transfer lottery and spring signings say hold out and hope, but this clas is disappointing.

Will not know for 2-3 years how good this class is. Hope we will say it was great.

Wick250:
Immediate help will come from the transfers, not these young kids. If internet postings are accurate, we have several new faces for the secondary within the transfer group. Here is the big question: Does it really matter who we recruit on defense if we are stuck with the same defensive coaching staff?
