POLL: Which of our FOUR LB transfers will be most–productive this year?

[B3VO_]

I'm going with Devin Richardson. Perfect kind of player for PK's defense.

I voted Notre Dame guy for no particular reason.

Richardson. Dude has explosiveness dripping from his pores. I also noticed he lines up all over the place, including at middle linebacker.

I'm going way out on a limb and calling my shot: if this dude gets consistent PT he's going to end up with more sacks than anyone on last year's team. I'm thinking at least 6-8, maybe more. Kid's going to be a difference maker if he's used right.

I was debating between Richardson and Oghoufo. Oghoufo, Thornton, Davis and Dorbah are all probably fighting for Ossai's position. Richardson is a prime candidate to fight for any of the 3 remaining spots. He will certainly have competition with Overshown and Gbenda likely close to locking down 2 of the spots, but the 3rd is wide open when we aren't using a nickel corner or 3rd safety.

Great points all around. Dorbah did really well at the Spring Game, which is part of the reason I voted Richardson.

For the OTHER voters, I'm curious what other LB y'all think we'll grab?

Schools should focus more on outstanding performers from G5 schools rather than P5 washouts. My money is on Richardson.

Right. Like Watson balling out on Saturday...

 

[Mr Poon]

When did we get Ben Davis?

Edit, missed that one yesterday.

 

[hutchenc]

I guess I missed that we've taken 4 LB transfers already. Speaks volumes about where Sark and staff think we are with Herman's guys (i.e. we need serious help at that position). Pretty big eye opener right there.

Shadrach Banks from aggie maybe?

 

[eastexbigeasy]

Gotta say I would absolutely LOVE to see Davis wreck house and go out huge after no impact at Bama. Maybe the light comes on and Coach K is what he needs

This is what @Ketchum saod in their Yt video. It tells you all you need to know about what the staff thinks of this roster that they got FOUR LBs in the portal. And then in a full WR room are gonna add at least two.

I hate bringing up Herman, but man it shows you their incompetence.

Kinda surprised they haven’t gone after an OL, unless they think either a) it’s too hard to mesh or b) they can make it one year with what they’ve got.

I would like for them all to be difference makers and end up with the LB's being the strength of the defense. If this were true, we would have a stout defense.
