CR,
I liked Archibald too, he was a great prospect. I never really watched Brown, so I don't know what we lost. What I really want to know is; where's the elite CB when there are so many around Miami? We can't get even one kid? We need an elite DT also but I'm not so sure that will happen this year.

Completely agree, but think we should have beat Louisville to start the season.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 28, 2014 at 11:02 PM
I was never really blown away by Brown, but Archibald was a good lookin' prospect.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 28, 2014 at 10:56 PM
@UnderwoodSports: Amid all the failings (of which there have been plenty), this team is quietly improving and playing WAYYY better than early in the season
@UnderwoodSports: And, I say again: If we got another shot at Louisville we win that game by 10+ pts.

What was left of the 2009 OLine class graduated last year.
What's left of the 2010 class graduates this year.
We lost 40% of our starting OLine last year...Henderson & Linder.
If Flowers leaves, we lose 60% of our starters this year...Feliciano,Flowers, & McDermott.
So no, I don't believe Al Golden is stockpiling O-Linemen "just cuz".
TonyCane, what say you?
Posted by: CaneRock | October 28, 2014 at 10:48 PM
We don't use them, but our coaches know about them. That's the last I'm saying.

They're as real as all get out. They run a lot of stuff. Mostly rep SEC schools, including the gators. But Bama, Lsu and a few others use them. Or I should say their boosters use them. I know this indisputably

I agree with Ohio. Why would a player like that TE decommit from us, after seeing what Kaaya's doing to go to Wake.
That O lineman will be replaced soon enough too.

Another misconception is the thought everyone you have on the roster can play.
If you have adequate numbers but feel some aren't ever going to be good enough, you have to get more, especially at that position.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 28, 2014 at 06:12 PM
Not having enough DLinemen, is not a reason to not stockpile OLinemen. There are plenty of recruiting spots we have and can make for the Dline. The two are not mutually exclusive, or has not anyone noticed our OLine right now is basically patchwork.
Facts, people. Check current events. Or check how often OLinemen go down everywhere. We have an elite QB in the making - let's not get him killed.

We have enough O-Linemen, with only 2 graduating, that I can recall. We graduate 3 interior D-Linemen, now where's the love in that department. That's the side of the ball where Goldie needs to really turn his attention 2 and I'm not talking about just bodies, some real difference makers. If we can one day get that side stocked again, then we can start talking about being a national presence again.

We'll see if what DENO thinks is, that everyone is starting to grasp the defense and where they are supposed to be is true this coming weekend. UNC's offense is no joke and might be better than FSU's.
Dorsett will be probably a third rounder. Has first rounder speed but disappears to much during games. he should be a guy like Greene from FSU that catches about 5 to 6 balls a game and is a game changer every time he touches the ball. He has moments sort of like Coley this year. With these 2 guys we should be lighting up the score board.

ACC Upset Watch: Week 10
North Carolina (4-4, 2-2) at Miami (5-3, 2-2), 12:30 p.m., ESPN3. Line: Miami by 17. The line in this game seems a bit high considering the Tar Heels are on a bit of a roll after two straight wins. There is no doubt Miami presents many more challenges to a struggling UNC defense -- both from Duke Johnson and its speedy receivers. But the North Carolina offense presents more challenges than Virginia Tech did. Marquise Williams and Mack Hollins are playing at a high level and will force Miami to have a different defensive plan this weekend.

Did somebody say we were recruiting too many OL's? I read someone actually mention that.
This is why.
Offensive linemen, as a unit, get more injuries than any other positions because of the physics of how they play. Easy to figure out.
