Well it seems we have a possible backup for Danny Shelton in Jon Lewis...but ye it would be good to have guys lined up, maybe the coaches already do, we don't know...

when you miss your superior targets you have no choice but to take inferior players. I'd take my chances on some 2 star true DTs than playing the conversion game.

William Wallace reference? I'm talking about former(?) Duck William Wallace. Whatever happened to him anyway? We don't need as many DTs as you guys think. We need about 3 quality DTs than 4-5 sleeper types.

When are people going to realize that we don't need 25 300lb DTs? Some of you people are starting to act a little obsessive over the DT position. We need a couple guys, which we'll most likely get. We have 3 freshman that got almost all the snaps after the 2 starters in Bair & Clark. But NO, the roster is EMPTY, we need at least 8 DTs this class & 10 the next. And if we can't get enough highly rated guys we're gonna havta fill roster spots with 2*s with no offers just because! We GOTTA have em!

He's still on the team, just plays on some ST units and like a third or fourth string DB.

Some may be overselling the situation, but you are underselling it. If Heimuli takes his mission, we are extremely thin. That leaves Keliipiki, Hart and Remington as the only returning scholarship DT's.
