Why not in Athens West? DL is building the team in the image of two guys he worked for, Nick Saban and Kirby Smart. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the 2025 class is the next step forward! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter how you build a roster as long as by recruiting, re-recruiting by keeping studs on board with NIL, and by portal picking you have a deep blue Blue Chip roster? The only 'quality program' I am aware of that is still trying to build a roster only with high school recruits is Clemson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His program is falling behind because of it. I think DL has found the right balance of focusing on HS recruiting first and then plugging holes with a handful from the portal. As long as he's stacking top 5 recruiting classes the future is very, very bright. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
