2018 Recruiting Thread

[yjnkdawg]

I think we would still take him at QB if he wants to come even though we already have one committed but I don't blame him for considering others that fit his skill set better. I'd say we'll be in his top 3 but it's hard to tell with him right now.

DM would welcome him to the Bulldawg Family right now if he wanted to commit.

Look for Shaq to stay with Tennessee..

What's the reason for that?

What's the connection there?

It doesn't make any sense to me.

Tennessee is a dirty recruiter, and i don't doubt it, but I honestly think the awe factor of their stadium and historic success may have gotten him. Also being the first visit helped.

I disagree. You could be right, but I'd assume a SR in college that played at UGA & Louisville would be more mature than this. Again, you may be right & certianly it maybe matters to HS guys, but, I'd be somewhat shocked if things like that mattered to SR in college.

Shit happens. When he visited some staff thought we would get him

Interesting....

Nothing like not landing a croot & no one has any reason how the school with little to no connections to the player landed him.

random theory that maybe our grad school GPA requirement coming into play? Or maybe it's something totally around playing time, etc. Hard to say.

This is my suspicion. Seems like a case where there could have been some academic things or red tape that made it more difficult for him to attend MSU.

[Lance Harbor]

Uh, if you can fog a mirror you can get into grad school at State. I'm living proof.

Maybe he just liked it better there. Tenn beats us for recruits all the time, so this one isn't shocking to me

True, but I see it differently when we have the DC that he's followed around & T Buck who he also played for.

We no doubt should have had a leg up here. I don't see this as similar to a high school kid that is just getting to know the coaches.

It certainly stings. We were really close to having a really solid secondary... still may though

Yeah. The silver lining is that this will give a younger & maybe equally as talented guy more playing time, which could set us up better for 2018.

I mean, let's face it: as good as it would have been to get Shaq, he's a grad transfer & not in the NFL for a reason. H would have helped for sure, but we should have similar talents on our roster

Sam spiegelman (lsu writer) CB'd jammal Houston to us. Would be huge. He's a wr with 26 offers including lsu, ark, auburn, Georgia, om, and tenn. Greg Knox listed a lead recruiter

Hot dang !! That kid's got a second gear when he hits the second level, and then a third gear once he clears traffic.
And he is VERY STRONG in the lower body. He has really good hips as well, and his lateral quickness is really really good, as is his ability to hit the small seams and side step initial contact at the LB level, but still has considerable strength to plow through initial contact. Great field vision.
I want that kid on our team.

Willie Allen just announced he's transferring from LSU.

So sick of losing recruiting battles to them for players that end up transferring out. Seems ridiculous
