hey wlayton, thanks for the feedback & the update...did not know about Gates switching over to the GOOD side. Jeez, just looked him up, he's only a 3-star but my gosh, that boy's got the body to play OT or OG. 6'5\", 298 lbs., his scout.com profile says he's a better run blocker than pass protector but I like that (still hoping/wishing that Bobo would be more committed to the running game). Anyways, I agree w/your assessment, this year's class looks to be solid but not spectacular. Really, really hope we get Thornton after losing Whitaker to the Plainsmen yesterday. Him & either Green or Boone at WR will make me feel a whole lot better. I'm was guessing that Boone is LSU bound cause he wants to run track as well as play football but if wlayton likes our chances, then so does Goose
I do feel like our defensive players are going to get \"coached-up\" next year so I'm actually more optimistic about the upcoming season right now than I was at this same time last year.
