Can Ifyou and Ari drop predictions today?

We will have over a dozen sign tomorrow.
Which will include Whop and Carvin
Also Heath will give a **** you to Yancy and crew when he signs tomorrow.

[Commercecomet24]

If IYOK and Ari both are predicting it, tomorrow should have us all feeling good! Thanks for y'alls info.

Ari or IYOK, any news on Harris? Did we stop his recruitment? Seemed to be trending heavily towards us until the last week or so.

He's not apart of JoeMo plans

Really disappointed to hear that.

Really disappointed to hear that.

Whop, Guidry, Heath aren't enough? Maybe we need an OT?

Edit: I'm an idiot. Harris is CB, not WR....

Fair response. To be clear: this is an excellent class and our staff has done a phenomenal job of keeping them all together. We'll land some players that are excellent takes. I'm really happy. We certainly need an OT.

It isn't that I don't trust JoeMo's staff, it's just that I also trust LSU, Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, and West Virginia--all programs at or above our caliber who've offered him, in their ability to evaluate talent.

And given the plethora of bottom-of-the-barrel players we take every year, I just don't understand how we can't make the numbers work for Harris.

Hate to hear that. Felt like he could've immediately improved our secondary, but I'll give Moorhead a pass. He obviously knows more about it than I do

Numbers were too tight. Harris and Reed were told to search around. Only real decommit we've had is bishop. Austin, Peterson, and Gibson should all be given good raises for keeping this class together through a coaching chance. Unheard of to only lose 1.

We can also rate recruiters by stars ****

It looks like Whop and Carvin sign tomorrow (Thursday). Didn't know if that info was in this thread.

Tomorrow is wed.

Oops sorry. I'm just an idiot. Yes, tomorrow is Wednesday.

If we don't take Harris, I know that'll be a decision that is talked about for a long time. So I guess I'll just another voice shouting into the void, but here goes nothing.

We have a DT committed, Devon Robinson, who has an awful offer list. Only other P5 school to offer him is Vandy and Louisville. At a position that we historically recruit very well. In all likelihood, this guy probably will not contribute to the football team in any meaningful way. That isn't to say that he's a bad player or person. Just that most schools clearly think he's not even close to SEC-caliber.

Meanwhile, you have 4* Corione Harris. A secondary player who maybe projects as a safety at the next level. Who has an offer list that includes every major football powerhouse, SEC and non-SEC. And because we have too many safeties, we've told him to look around? But not Robinson? When we have a 5* DL coming in on the next class? And we struggle horribly in the secondary?

Perhaps I don't understand recruiting. But from the perspective of an ignoramus like me, this seems like a terrible decision. Can we just take one less no-name, no-offer-list player in the next class?

If Harris had that many options, do you think he?d be signing with Kansas tomorrow?

His evaluation is a joke. Harris is a safety at the next level but only weighs 170 lbs. The evaluations on 247 this year were especially poor.

Harris is about an 83-84 caliber player
