I agree to some extent here, but the staff might not be seeing it with guys like Pentello, Oliver, Evege (surgery how will he come back), and IMO we don't have the superstar back there at the S postion...Clifford possess the potential, but hasn't put it together yet...

Torrence getting a look at CB is more a function of his talent rather than a lack of depth...he simply may be better at CB than WR (Chris Gamble ring a bell?). We also have six freshmen (four true, two RS) DBs, one of whom already has already proven his worth (Clifford) and was fortunate enough to get a med redshirt. Sorry, but no matter how you rack and stack, you cannot say we "need" six DBs this class...no way, no how. Now, with the way we recruit (speed, big speed, power) we surely can take a ton of guys who play primarily DB in high school with the thought that we may move them to other positions (much as we can take kids who are primarily WRs and move them once on campus). But, our current roster depth in the secondary does not require six DBs in this class. Instead of saying we need 2-3 WRs and 6 DBs, it would be more accurate to say we should take 8-9 non-RB speed recruits. Actually, we're hurting more depth-wise at WR than at DB (nine WRs who are junior or younger vice 13 DBs who are junior or younger).

All reports had Torrence impressing at WR...so why move like you say we are better off at DB than WR...Once again I can agree with all of this...I was just giving a reasoning as to why we take 6...We also have Hall who could fit in the RB/DB category...and we all know how Tress recruits with the speed/big speed/power...Just lots of good prospects out there that we don't seem to be slow playing any of them and seem to have 6 guys that we are looking good for...Heck there has even been talk about taking 7 dbs at some point...
