Damn right.
I think Plumlee has a legit shot at being OM's starting QB by mid season. The kid from TX aint great and Corral appears to be a ticking time bomb.Quote:

It seems like we are going after a ton of high school and JUCO guys. By that I mean like could we potentially oversign this year?
Plumlee has already been told that he has a package put in for him this year. Would not surprise me at all. They are now a Mullen offense. The receivers that signed with them this year are idiots.Quote:

I also like Joe taking advantage of the JUCO market. We all know that our recruiting footprint doesn't always provide the players we need, at the positions we need, when we actually need them. And when you are competing against the school we recruit against, it's just that much harder. however - that strategy has to be coupled with excellent player evaluation. It makes our margin on "misses" very thin.Quote:

JUCO was about the only way to balance that back out.
We will keep hammering the jucos if the right guys are there. To many good players come to the state via juco route.Quote:

I don't disagree with getting JUCO's at all - it's definitely something that we should be taking advantage of. I don't think Dan did enough of it until he was in a real bind in '17. 9 JUCO guys in one class is a ton. In his defense - they were all very talented and it panned out - especially since a number of those guys redshirted giving us an extra year. But, it can also leave you in a recruiting hole 2-3 years later when HS kids you could have signed aren't there. It's a delicate balance. I think somewhere in the 3-5 range every year is an ideal balance.Quote:

No idea. He's a big guy, but no offers. Hopefully we got him on his way upQuote:

You gotta like the 6?5? aspect...he needs to bulk up to 200+ though.... Joe must have really liked his camp showingQuote:

We'd still take both Heath & Taylor.Quote:

Huge pickup. He's going to be a 4* very shortly.Quote:

Ducking is a reach. Brown is big time. We keep grabbing up defensive talent and struggle with top end WR talent.
Heath will be a dog.Quote:

Yes a huge get here... And now let’s close out the OM back yard with Dean next...Quote:

Who are our WR commits and who are our targets? How many total do u think we sign?Quote:

Are you considering Butts a safety and not a WR?
Also what are you thoughts on Ducking? Good size and the staff just got done working him out, but on his Hudl video I saw he just looked really slow off the line. Not sure what the think about this one at the moment.
How about Anderson-Butts from the Iowa JC? He's a commit.
He'll be a safety I believe. IYOK can hopefully verifyQuote:

Picking up Brown is really going to PO those boys over at the spirit. They just got a commitment out of Josiah Coatney, Browns teammate and they were counting Brown as their next pick-up. LOL hate it for 'em!
Josiah Coatney?Quote:

My bad Josiah Hayes, too early this morning.
Loved this quote from Ducking, "They are looking to completely retool the WR position". Hopefully the days of the 5'8 wideouts are gone!
My guess on Ducking is he redshirts , depending on how the WR class shakes out. That’s a pure guess..Quote:
