    Me, too. Kids a monster - I mean he looks bigger than all of the other big azz DEs out there, and he comes to play. I have been very pleasantly surprised with him.

    3 star fringe recruit, that we were hot on late in the process and had many people scratching their heads.

    I think he was a backup plan in the event another recruit fell through.

    Yeah....but part of the reason he is projected that high is because he started playing and getting exposure a year earlier, having not redshirted. Part of it is that he is just that good, too.

    I don't think that anyone is bashing Russell Shepard so much as arguing your placement of him is not accurate. Beckham has been the starter across from Randle for quite a few weeks now.

    Russell Shepard had a big role in assembling that class...

    Shepard is the starting slot receiver if we lined up in a 3 WR set.

    It's accurate.

    My guess is probably not for #99.

    Something tells me he loves the experience way too much to pass up his senior season.

    And I don't know how high he would be projected.

    Another great year and he can almost be guaranteed upper half of the first round.
