The Bobcat Nation

STACKED DB Class

Surprised they are still using these low visibility graphics. I know during the last signing day Coach Vigen did a presentation on the new players and was frustrated these were so hard to read.

Nice surprise. I know the Cats were really pushing for him.

Visits to Texas Tech, Army, Montana and Montana State. 21.20 200 is a blazing time. Mhsa record is 21.06.

I love the fact that we are adding so much speed at DB. If you've got an overall very talented team (and we do), I feel like having really fast DBs can help reduce one of the only big risks you have, which is giving up big plays on defense. Speed can erase a lot of mistakes.

We are bringing in guys with FBS speed to our defensive backfield.

On paper, arguably the best DB class in recent history.

A ton of speed. Class is slightly lacking on size (mainly at safety), but fast fast.

Hopefully our safeties in general can put on some good weight during the off-season. We’ve been a little slight at that position for a while especially when it comes to depth.

Like love, speed covers a multitude of sins.

Finally confirmed on his part.

Speed and length- yes please. Great recruit. Reminds me of a young Joey Thomas.

I agree. I like fast, but fast with a PUNCH on the tackling end!

Any of my other fellow Raiders fans here (yes I know there are at least a couple) getting some PTSD from all this gushing about how important speed is?

I had blocked it out until you mentioned it. Now that it has been mentioned, I’m FREAKING out!

At least these guys are DBs with speed instead of receivers with speed that couldn’t catch a cold…cough, Hayward-Bey, cough.

IDK, speed seems to work pretty good for KC... which makes me sick as a Bronco's fan....

There was a really fast downhill skier from Canada back in the 80s-90s. His last name was Boyd. People/other racers would see him blasting down a run and they would look at each a just say, “Boyd” in their thick European accents.

I’m not sure why I’m telling you this.

There can't be many teams with multiple incoming freshmen that have gone under 10.5

I think the Montana all class record is like 10.55.
