Woo hoo!

Beating out schools in our conference for skill position players is a great sign. Very excited for this kid.

 

[SubbaBub]

This sounds like a good get. Can't wait to see him on the field.

 

[JMick]

Huge pickup. Him and Gillespie complement each other nicely. Grab another OL and the class looks good compared to our recent standards

And Ivies too. Obviously academics mean something, and we’re doing well there.

Obligatory reference to military academies as well.

Very much in the mold of an Edsall recruit.

A defensive messiah and an offensive inferno.

Kid looks good, very excited to have him. Has real upside. Wonder what took so long on the offer, we started sniffing way back in early November... no matter now.

Took me a few to find the article I was looking for... Black’s Brookwood High School plays in the same Georgia 7A conference as QB Commit Steve Krajewski’s Colquitt County team (Brookwood got knocked out of the State Semi-Finals by CC)

Here’s a synopsis of a game between the two earlier in the season: No. 24 Colquitt County (Ga.) goes down to Brookwood (Ga.), RB Dante Black

I'm looking forward to seeing what these two relative neighbors and former rivals do together now that they will be in the same backfield.

Love his size. Powerful dude.

So I take it Krash is sticking around!
