2017 Recruiting Thread

[sdhusky]

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...

That's part coaching.

Nope - Jones flipped from FIU to Purdue.

Hey Medic, no doubt you have the info, but I'm not seeing C. Jones' official commit anywhere...and that includes Purdue's site and their live blog too. Not so twitter savvy, could you share your link?

Deonte Sheffield's camp making calls, trying to exhaust all options. FSU in play, as well as Georgia Southern and UConn. #nwfvarsity

So are we to take this tweet as FSU is choice 1 but probably hasn't offered and UConn is the likely fallback option? I'd still be fine with that.

I haven't seen the actual NLI

Or GA Southern is the fall back

I'm already moving on. It was bad karma for Matt S to post all that 'FSU loves Sheffield superlatives.'

Thanks Bobby Buzzkill

 

[gioff23]

any reason I am not seeing Washington listed on UConnHuskies.com?

 

[noeynox]

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

Always amazed at the bad decisions kids make that could impact their lives for a long time.

Florida State has 3 signed RBs already - one 5-star and two 4-Stars, besides a stacked roster of RBs. What are they going to do with this kid?

... and the timing. Like the kid arrested recently while on his OV to THEE OSU

shout out to Coach Poindexter on that one.

Let me get this straight. You fill up your auditorium for your signing ceremony, but you don't know who you are committing to and you're still trying to call schools and obtain a letter?

I feel badly for the young man. He must have thought he was getting paper from FSU but then didn't.

 

[gioff23]

In fairness, it's a school ceremony, not a personal ceremony. Most HS' do that these days.

And you should know better than most, a good deal can be had at the 11th hour, if you're patient

Then imagine if it's not FSU?

No doubt there's more than a few kids in crowd thinking out loud, "I gave up my lunch period for that?"

(If we're being completely honest, both UConn and GA Southern are more than somewhat less prestigious to the common kid than FSU, in terms of football.).

I feel badly for the young man. He must have thought he was getting paper from FSU but then didn't.

Or he thought he was going with GAS (I'm sure they don't abbreviate the school name that way) or UConn and then FSU continued to lead him on. "Let's just see who officially signs with us... would you entertain an offer as a special teams guy... how about a preferred walk on... gray shirt?" I'm sure it's tough. This kid would have future FSU transfer written all over him based on how they've treated him, but it's FSU and it is a different experience than UConn. Hope it works out for him (and us).

Yes...I saw it just hit too..but wasn't on his twitter 'til now...and still isn't on Purdue's or their blog...strange! Thanks.

I feel bad for this kid... He potentially gets to his ultimate celebrity status before he's an adult playing the game he loves.

 

[UConnKev]

FSU it is. Damn.

Oh well. Good luck to the kid, would have loved to have him round out the class.
