Humpy's 3 year plan

[HumpDawgy]

Not that anyone gives a 17le.

Looking at this year's recruits, this is where I would slot them if I were in JoeMo's shoes. This is assuming we are eventually switching back to a 4-3 with our new DC. Of course this does not count for departures, injuries, transfers, or JUCO bound players. I do not have that info.

#1 priority get as many OL transfers and recruit heavy JUCO next season. Tell them they have to early sign or we are moving on. We need 4 to 5 early signee OL at minimum and 2 more if possible. No dicking around.

I will not mention Guidry or Kilby-Lane since they are JUCO signees and we know they will play a role at WR and LB this year.

3 year plan

Malik Heath - 31st rated WR in country. Will be our WR#1 in year 3 and hopefully be a first round pick in draft.
Devonta Jason - 32nd rated WR. Will be our WR#2. See above.
Dolla Bill Johnson - 18th rated T . Will be our LT.
Jaden Crumedy - 20th rated DE. Will be our WDE.
Jalen Mayden - 16th rated QB. Will be our QB.
Marcus Murphy - 25th rated ATH. He will see time at WR, but I would like to see him get reps at FS and be there in 3 years. Hopefully able to use him in some Off packages.
Fabien Lovett - 18th rated DE. I believe he will add more weight and be our DT#1. Probably the 3 technique.
Aaron Brule - 32nd rated S. I believe he moves to OLB. Would play him at WOLB.
Geo Spivey - 22nd rated TE. Will be our TE.
John Q Patterson - 101st rated WR. Will be our slot WR#3
Nathaniel Watson - 52nd rated ATH. I would play him at SOLB.
Esias Furdge - 62nd rated CB. Will be our CB#1
Cam Young - 59th rated DT. Will be our DT#2. Will play the nose tackle.
La'damian Webb - 45th rated RB. Will be our RB. Needs to live at the buffet and gym.
Jaylon Reed - 85th rated CB. Will be our CB#2.
Shawn Preston - 75th rated S. Will be our SS.
Jett Johnson - 38th rated ILB. Will be our MLB.
Devon Robinson - 89th rated DT. I would move him now to the OL. Play him at either G or C. I will project C
Kam Jones - 121st rated T. Will be our RT.
Brad Cumbest - 63rd rated TE. Would move him to DE. Will be our SDE.
Cameron Gardner - 215th rated WR. Use him as a hybrid WR/TE option in the red zone. Either WR#4 or TE#2.

This leaves us with gaps at 2 of these 3 positions......LG, C, and RG. Every other area has been addressed depending on who makes it on campus and stays with the program until then.

Flame away.

Not to rain on one of your points, but Devon Robinson is probably the STEAL of this class. And if you’ve seen him play on the DL you would know that he ain’t going anywhere but to the DL. He reminds me a lot of Chris Jones - A LOT. The kid is gonna blow up when he gets into the program. I’ll eat the plate of crow if I’m wrong.....but I ain’t wrong

Due to our inability to recruit OL, I would look at moving one of the three (Lovett, Young, or Robinson) to OL quickly and not wait and do it Carmon style. Find the 2 best DTs and move the 3rd to OL. I hope you are right about Robinson. I believe Lovett is a lock at DT, so either Young or Robinson should move IMO.


I know in 3 years some of these names might not even be here. Its just my WAY TOO early prognostication.

2 questions ..

Did everyone that is currently on the roster Quit? And, are we aren't going to sign any players in '19, '20 & '21?

That's the ONLY way your 3 year plan plays out anywhere near what you posted. Some of the '18 guys (Murphy, Heath, Jason) are ready to play NOW. Some will need a RS year to be ready and some will need a couple of years. Some will just be behind someone better that's currently on the roster. Some '19, '20 & '21 players will come in and be better than some of the '18 guys.

FYI .. Cameron Young (6-4, 300) has received 22 awards while playing basketball and football at Franklin County High School. Think this young man has the footwork needed to make an ideal offensive guard or center after a RS year in 2018.

Dammit I thought this was a plan to improve the Hump...

Cam Young will be on the OL. Who the heck knows what we are going to do with Spivey/Cumbest and all the rest of our thousands of Tight Ends.

SEC Tight End - Anybody on a roster not big enough to be a lineman and too big and slow to be a wide receiver. A few can actually block and catch.

When I saw Humpy I assumed you were talking about Dons plan at UF...

Not a flame, but from Top 30 in HS at his position to 1st round NFL draft pick seems a stretch. Fred Ross, one of the 5 best receivers in MSU history was not drafted and is having trouble sticking in NFL.

Please go look at some of Penn State games on UTube under OC Moorhead. JoeMe weaponized the TE position. Mike Gesicki had 118 receptions and over 1300 yards as their TE.

Both Cumbest and Spivey have the needed tools to excel in his system. LBs simply can't cover them.

Something I’ve been wondering.. given that Mayden is a lefty and Dollar Bill is seemingly our best tackle prospect (as of now) for the future, do we start Dollar Bill out at RT to protect Mayden’s blind in the future or put him at LT to better prepare him for the next level? Or does it really matter?

No...I guess I wasn't clear with my post. This is just this year's incoming freshman and how they might impact us in 3 years and where I would put them if I were in the coach's shoes. The position and # (ex. WR#1) was only meant to say they were the top rated at that position for this class year in our class. Yes, there will be guys from other classes ahead and behind some of these guys. It was really meant to find out how we would fill holes in areas such as OL and LB since we only recruited one of each not counting the JUCO LB. Just wanted to hear the board's opinions as to who might move to a different position (ex. Young to G or Murphy to S or CB).

I just don't want to see us move a DL to OL with one year of eligibility left like we did Carmon years ago.
