Overall, great class given all considerations.
Not sure what we are going to do at safety, but can only assume we are cycling some of Chev's guys over to DB.
A couple of enigmas:
Thomas: Left Nebraska, was highly recruited out of h.s. but receive little attention out of Juco after transferring. Did Frost pollute the water? Were there questions on his work ethic? Can he learn the system and provide enough value as a 2 to play 2 guy? He gets here next month. He's got to drink from the firehose, but this team NEEDS athletic guys who can get to the QB. He has to step up quick and learn a lot, but can he be "that" guy who can be a complete stud on outside?
Jackson: a 3 to play 2 guy who had some intriguing options out of Juco. Is he a 2021/2022 key guy or was he simply a plug? He's got a full spring to test that. I like him either way.
Striker: Not a lot of attention on him, but great size, high level Juco, and a guy who gets the spring to acclimate here. Is he a CB or does he move to Safety?
Lichtenhan: Is he a giant stiff or a complete under-the-radar stud? Nobody stepped up after he committed to CU. I saw enough improvement on O-Line this year NOT to doubt our OL coach, but I've eaten those words before.
All the TX and SoCal (and AZ) kids who signed look legit. Would love to see us get some more beef out of TX in the future. Seems our risks came out of the other areas.
