Also of note, David Johnson just Crystal Balled Rankin to MSU
I hope and pray that there isn't some economics class that he has to pass at Gulf Coast to play in the SEC. I don't want to see on twitter Wednesday morning that he committed to Texas Tech out of nowhere. It would be a huge pull at a position of need.
Really need this kid
When David Johnson CBs someone to us, it is over. He always CBs recruits to TSUN, then when he knows where they are going he changes it to up his percentage.
When can he sign?
Wednesday.Quote:

Malik Dear, Deddrick Thomas, and maybe moreQuote:

I feel good about Rankin.
If you add Rankin. It's Rankin, Gray, Calvin, Dear, D. Thomas, & Smitherman as early enrollees. Then we're hoping to add a juco DT as well.
If rankin signs, do we play j Johnson as 3rd tackle or move him to guard?
Joq & Rankin will battle for the other OT spot but I could see them checking out Joq at RG also if Rankin takes over that position early.
Say what you want about Hev- this has been "his guy" he has wanted for awhile now. And yes, when Johnson CB's someone to us- game over.
Very true...Quote:

Good newsQuote:

Honestly, I wish the NCAA would allow us to sign everyone in December and just get it over with.Quote:

Hev wants to find 3 tackles, 3 guards, and 2 centers. Here you go:Quote:

Don't really see anyone else being a factor except for Elgton Jenkins.
If we took johnson from juco, RSed him, and then get nothing from him, we messed up somewhereQuote:

The tackle (wake forest commit)from tenn?Quote:
