2014 Recruiting Thread

[huskymedic]

Kiy Hester should be a priority for us.. I hope the coaching staff is pushing hard for him....

I'm sure they are pushing as hard as Michigan, The U, Turtle, Michigan St, BC, Rutty, Cuse, UNC, tOSU, Vandy, Arkansas, GT, Nebraska, Pitt, WVA and Purdue

Leicester LB Tom Rodrick picked up another D1 offer, adding UConn to a list that already included UMass. Expect more to come.


The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Rodrick made 91 tackles and had a Central Mass-best 14 sacks for Leicester and made 24 tackles and two sacks in the playoffs. He also rushed for 410 yards as a fullback for Leicester.

I was under the impression we wanted 2lbs this class. A 3rd was going to take a ath spot and had to be a stud recruit. Recent offers say otherwise or my charted 2 lbs we have something is wrong info wise.

 

[Drimple]

Kiy Hester to Rutgers. *sigh*

 

[huskymedic]

I also hear RU's offer was held back from Jimmy Hogan DE/TE for failing to make up his mind soon enough even tho his dad said 4 weeks ago he was going to RU

Appears you may have had bad info on Hogan or someone Rutgers thought they had in the bag changed their mind.

Ramapo DL Jimmy Hogan will join Kiy Hester at #Rutgers. Flood gets his 20th commitment. #njfootball #msgvrecruit @RamapoAthletics

Hogan, a 6-5, 225-pound defensive end, chose the Scarlet Knights over #UConn, #Temple and #Michigan. #Rutgers #njfootball @RamapoAthletics

I see no verification that he ever had a Michigan offer - from Wednesday.

Rutgers: "Rutgers was the first school to offer me and they are only an hour away from my house."
Temple: "Temple has a really good criminal justice program, so I really like that."
UConn: "They are kind of out of the way, but they want me to play tight end for them. And I've played tight end all my life, so I guess I'd be okay with that."
Michigan: "They haven't offered me yet but they say they will. Michigan has been one of my favorite football schools since I was little."

Committed to Syracuse...

"I knew Syracuse was going to be my choice as soon as I visited. I just knew it because it was exactly what I expected it to be. The visit was basically just confirmation."

Received a Hot List update from Scout and it has listed Sylva as a verbal, although he said that he would keep an open mind. Seems we have heard the story before.

Looks like the link is dead. Happens with all Scout cut and pastes.

@Weird statement?Though I hear he's a pretty sharp and underrated kid!Good character guy..."Cuse" a Brigadoon?LOl!!

 

[Exit 4]

Whats on my wish list at this point..... an OT, a Center, a Guard, a DT, a CB and a pair of RBs. Second tier needs; LB, more DE/DT and S. Third tier, TE & WR. No need QB. Just my thoughts, shred away if you wish.

Follow up thought - I really would feel much better about everything if we could land a RB and couple O-line men in the coming weeks. After that, regardless of what the naysayers say (about recruting, coach p or the aac - much of which maybe fair), I'll feel we have at least something on the hook for these thinly staffed positions.

It would be great to see Newsome or Cooper as Uconn commits ASAP.

 

[huskyblooz]

Agree Exit4. OL is key. Do we need a K/P this year?

You need to recruit at least one QB every year. QB depth can change very quickly. With one already committed and having recruited two last year you should be fine!

re: Mavety

Anthony Davis talking smack about Syracuse. Davis was a 1st round 11th pick in 2010 from Rutgers....he's tweeting the recruit about Syracuse:

@chadmavety55 Once you get there all that will change. At RU Coach Flood will be the same guy he is right now. Great Coach/Dad.

 

[Buffett10]

wow someone must have gotten to Davis cause this is a major turnaround after what he had to say about RU and Schiano last yr.

@No Buffett your wrong on that!!Anthony Davis loves RU and grew up 1 mile away and as a teenager hung around the RU practices!He just had issues with Greg Schiano...BUT he LOVES KF!!As soon as Greg left he started hanging around the "guys" again!I remember when OSU asked him to come to Columbus and start he said "I think Ohio kids should go to OSU and Jersey kids should go to RU!It was never an RU issue just a personality conflict!The year he committed to RU he was the #63 player in the country!
