Linebacker recruiting

This is such a perplexing thing to me... we haven’t signed a really high rated linebacker since when pool was ranked high. But this past class and this one. You would think we would have studs lined up. They could literally come in and basically Start day one if they are legit. And we showed this past season that our scheme lets the linebackers pick up tackles.

You had 2 linebackers who run 4.9 forty’s basically lead the SEC. and one of them missed so many tackles... think of how many tackles a legit stud could have. And this isn’t a hate on Morgan or pool. They are doing as good as they can. But we need some legit dudes at linebacker. Because after those 2 we don’t have much. We literally have to hope Pooh can come in and contribute as a freshman.

Preseason Media Rankings vs. Actual Results

Seeing all the back and forth about MA (and congratulations to him), got me thinking about the SEC picks and the actual results. @Nikki, your brethren didn't do a very good job as prognosticators. Here is what was picked, what happened and the difference between picked and actual. Nikki, I would like to see what you and Hutch predicted. My SWAG is that you probably came closer to the actual results than your cohorts! If you'll notice our results were the same improvement that Alabama's were.
