Im aware how the ranking system works. I just threw out Navy because its embarrassing. Im not thinking we should be top 10. But top 30 is where we need to be. Not 55 or worse. The HS system is a little more accurate. How do they rank a former 4 star that could only play special teams accurately? People thought we killed the portal last year too. But the LBs were busts for the most part. No matter the ranking i still hold judgement until they play for us. Its just nice to win the offseason.
I have to believe it is intentional. Your chance of hitting on a transfer seems to be better than a HS player. Better competition, more tape, etc.
I've assumed he's being picky and would take more HS guys if he got high level guys, but he's not going to take lower rated guys just to fill out the class, deciding to fill in with transfers than take fliers on lower rated guys. Seven commits in two days is nice, but I feel like the two biggest needs we have are OL and LB and we didn't get any of those.

Isaiah Nixon's Crystal Ball Predictions
All those young guys that have been breaking their tails this year to impress and get playing time next season are probably very happy about A-Will being there at DC now.
And I like that Rumph has the size and talent for DE/DT flexibility. Provides depth at both positions and confuses offenses as they make personnel changes.
Still hoping for a Christmas QB present…..but what is it with OLs avoiding us?
Texas A&M's season hints at a different take on this.Can he play LB?
I'll happily take him back, it will bump up our recruiting rankings and that is all that really matters
Nice....all of these guys can play and are needed. Now we need a couple of guys (at least) on the OL and another LB or two and they probably will be through the portal.
I agree. If he does still come he might be an OLB prospect with his size and quickness
Nixon is 6’4 215, holmes 6’3 230. Would be awesome to have both. Both have more weight they can add
I really hope they do. Other than Walker, I was most excited about them coming in with this class. 247 has a few crystal balls to Maryland though.
not as frantic as walking into a Mall not long ago, I thought Tuesday early afternoon would be a slightly slower window 🤦🏽♂️
It could work but note that learning to play LB is not a given. Pass coverage doesn't come easy for those who have only played moving forward ie Dline.
They are concerned about who will be their area coach. I don't think we trend well since we are moving a former DB coach over to coach the LBs.
While i agree, he also has 7 pass break ups, 2 ints, 10 tackles per game average, and 52 sacks. If anyone can make a jump to olb, probably him
But are those pass break ups and INTs made in the backfield or in coverage? If they are made in the backfield it doesn't necessarily translate to downfield coverage. The lack of that skill has made our defense anemic against underneath passing attacks. Let's not recruit in a way that continues that problem for the next several years.
