Other than that, though, I thought the Rivals list was pretty accurate. I think I would have dropped Hall to #3 and bumped Barnett and Wood up to #4 and #5, but that is just splitting hairs.
stkoran;1173103; said:I would put Muldoon ahead of Underwood and Newsome on your list. Golden/Linsley/Muldoon are somewhat of a toss up for me. I think that Newsome has more upside than Muldoon, but that Muldoon has a better chance of making an impact. I look at Newsome as an athlete who is playing football, while Muldoon is a football player who is also athletic. No doubt Newsome has a great first step and looks very fast on film, but he is going to need to put on a decent amount of weight and work on shedding blocks by more than just being faster than the other player. Muldoon has a real nose for the ball and I like the way he gets off his blocks/moves the blocker where he wants to go. I think he could be a solid DE or a bulk up and slide to DT if we continue our trend of using smaller, quicker DT's. That's just my take, though. I am sure you have seen way more film than I have and maybe even seen these kids in camp/games.
I've been kind of stuck on this lately because I am not sure what is happening with our D-line recruiting right now. For a long time I thought we would take Simon, Fellows, Newsome and Muldoon and make room for Adams if he wanted to come. All indications have been that Newsome and Muldoon were all Buckeye. But now I don't know what is going on with the recent offers to Arnett and Ezell. I don't know if Adams is out for good and the staff wants 5, or if either Muldoon or Newsome is wavering. Sorry for getting a little off topic.
