Seems like I read where some guys that we already have ( Terrell Hall and Anfernee Jennings, I think, are two ) will be looked at to be prepared to play with their hands on the ground.
2017 Prospect: JUCO DL Javon Kinlaw Updates
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
I see both those guys playing roles like Ryan Anderson - OLB in some packages and DE in others. Jennings might be able to grow into it, but right now he's not nearly big enough and would probably have to gain 40+ pounds to slide inside as a DT/NT in most of our packages, plus he was the 6th fastest LB on the velocity rating (faster than foster and anderson). He'll probably have the lead going into spring as the starter at OLB. Hall is playing on coverage teams and appears to be pretty fast as well, and he'd have to gain even more weight than Jennings.

That`s very good news. I suppose the number of JUCO`s that we might sign would be directly related to how many high school D line guys may/will sign (?). We need to lock at least a couple down, IMO.
He named a final 3 of South Carolina, Alabama and USC. Not sure of our chances. He will visit in January.

Kinlaw not being an EE makes him susceptible to the numbers crunch. It may depend on what some of the high school DL do. But, the 3rd year may be enough to keep him a spot.
A shot at having this guy for possibly 3 seasons ? Whoa ! Hope we get this guy ( assuming he`s got a committable offer, of course ).
I see Kinlaw committed to South Carolina 2 days before Christmas. I know he is from Carolina but wonder if he is potentially flippable. Seems to be a solid prospect.
where did you see that? He decommitted in November from USCe and as far as I know he is not committed to anyone.
Kinlaw had a pretty interesting comment after last night's game saying "That one hurt me" may not mean a thing but just thought it was interesting.
Hopefully that's a sign that he's forged some relationships with our current DL and will want to join them in the future. Given how our lack of (developed) quality depth on the DL last night hurt us down the stretch, we sure could use him.
Very true but didn't he de-commit from Carolina? Not to say he won't end up back there but we are still in it for sure.
