I would be a crap recruiter apparently.

6-7 250 and moves that well and plays nasty.

A lot of schools like more weight as they havr to only strengthen and not put as much weight on the player
This is a typical Edsall recruit

Weighed only 235 or so not long ago. He is getting some late P5 interest. I suspect he may not sign in December and see what happens with late offers.

Thought I would post LB prospect and perhaps secret commit Desmond Fogle’s senior tape. Looks like he got stronger and faster vs his junior tape.

Many of us are hungry for LBs. Hopefully we pull in at least one grad/juco and at least two HS LBs.

Jhalyn Shuler is a SC OLB that visited us in late spring. Here is his senior tape which shows some good anticipation and willingness to be physical.

P5 schools are typically looking for more size out of high school. A school like UConn is a development program, so we are looking to develop players which means adding size and strength. And, most P5 scholarships are committed so late developing linemen don't have many P5 options. That is the opportunity for a school like UConn.

I checked 24/7. Out of the top 200 rated OTs, only two 250lbs or less had committed to P5 programs and they were ranked 107 and 127. No top 100 ranked OT was listed as 250 lbs or less.

For example, look at the size of the BC and Penn St. OL in the last 2 recruiting classes:

BC: 6'7" 275, 6'7" 275, 6'4" 275, 6'7" 289, 6'4" 275, 6'5" 315
Penn St.: 6'7" 295, 6'5" 320, 6'5" 290, 6'6" 345, 6'5" 288, 6'5" 290. 6'3" 318

Great stuff... I can't speak for Rewster, but I feel like this Mitchum kid is pretty likely to find himself with a P5 offer by Feb if he waits it out. He looks to be at the bottom of the rungs of what P5 schools eventually scoop up after they run through their process. That all said, I'd much rather we land him than some bottom level P5.

Another Rutty decommit. If I recall correctly, Powell has been on our campus prior to his senior season.

These kids also willing accept a PWO from a big SEC school over full scholarship up north or at a FCS school. In-state tuition is so cheap that it is not a financial burden.

Let's hope he has two or three LB friends coming with him. Looks like a great prospect.

Looks like we missed this one. Quay Evans is a 6'2.5''/ 278lb DT from Chester SC. Evans has offers from Maryland, Oregon (he posted the actual Oregon offer graphic on 8/2), UCF, Liberty, Georgia Southern, WVU, Virginia.

I have reason to believe he visited this weekend based on twitter activity, but no smoking gun just yet.




HUDL Sr.-Quay Evans 6'3 280 DL

Two Chester County standouts have been chosen to represent S.C. in the 2019 Shrine Bowl. Chester DT Quay Evans and Lewisville WR/QB/DB/KR Demetric Hardin were just announced for the annual all-star game. Congrats to both. #schsfb

Story on his junior season- where he finished the year with WV and Oregon offering.

IF we are serious about upping talent levels we need to close here. We let go of kids in their final year that many argue against (including me). We need to put together something way more competitive next season. Leash is very short at this point
