2017 Recruiting Thread

[businesslawyer]

One thing about Kouyate is that according to the timeline Rutty and Temple visited him last week prior to his OV.

Since we did not land Green, we really need this kid. Strong shades of Trevardo here in this one.

I don't think he and Green are the same position or skill set. But am I ready to start recruiting undersized speedrushers again at DE -- heck yes.

With Bebe in the pound - that's all the known commits...

Agreed, not necessarily the same skill set, but we are talking about players on the DLine so....I want more than just Thomas in this class.

I think the staff might scoop up Mensah if Sheffield does not sign with us today.

Good luck to Robert. If someone can root against this young guy ...

Good to see.. was a little concerned about how he'd fit in this coming season.. Edsall's comments on him makes me think he can come in and challenge what we already have at either spot.. maybe even get into the rotation....

 

[ktuck911]

reptititive theme of this class that seems to stand out... aggressive, physical....
not saying the old regime's classes aren't, but the descriptions on them by the previous staff didn't give us that inclination, and the field play showed it...

Jeremiah Miller looks to have signed with Coastal.

As long as neither of them develops a debilitating cold we should be hearing from them shortly.

They are both in, (King and Olaniyan) and both to play CB. So now do we wait for a surprise or do you think RE will let us know we are done?

 

[Jimdish255]

There's always the chance another guy opens up during the day or signs tomorrow. No hurry if we have a spot open to get the best one. We filled some needs already and will have a lot more oars in the water for 2018.

Not seeing any announcement yet from Cornell Jones on his twitter page. Potential surprise?

For sure, and be able to hopefully have an improved product on the field to sell.

Nope - Jones flipped from FIU to Purdue.

We've still got two prominent targets (Marvin Washington and Deonte Sheffield) who we're waiting to hear from

 

[Exit 4]

Nope - Jones flipped from FIU to Purdue.

Wow, a lot of these guys Diaco pursued did land at P5 schools. I don't think he had much of a chance to get any of them....and, I think none of this changes my POV that on the whole he didn't recruit enough speed and wasted too many scholarships on RKG.

WE GOT MARVIN!!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

WE GOT MARVIN!!

What a way to round out this class. Pulling in two very talented QBs and one that should be ready to go right away is a heck of a job for a staff that just started not too long ago.

 

[Coach J]

WE GOT MARVIN!!

Now that's a pleasant surprise!

Three did you forget Jordan Mcafee?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Nope because he was committed prior to that staff coming on, though it was a nice job of them retaining him. I was more making a comment that it was real impressive the amount of talent they brought in with such a short recruiting period for these kids.

 

[Exit 4]

Looks like Speedy_Heem - aka Blackshear is signing with Rutty at 230pm today. Thats how I read his twitter chatter.

 

[UC1995]

A bit cheesy with cartoon but good pickup for them over PITT

 

[huskymedic]

Ooops. "Hey Sheriff can you do me a solid and fax this"
Michigan State commit Donovan Winter arrested, will not sign
