2019 Recruiting Thread

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mingo and Will Rogers visit this weekend, it is OV for Mingo but unofficial for Will bc he is 2020. We need to do well OM had 2 visits with him this week. Not saying he goes there but we need to lay our cards on the table

Maybe someone with some knowledge can help me out here. What is the functional difference between an OV and a unofficial? I mean, can we literally do a sudo "official visit" with Will except he has to pay his own way to campus and none of the expenses are covered.

Clemson rotates 3 RBs and one of them is out of eligibility.

Not true when he?s got two RBs ahead of him on the depth charts. He?s not going to college to sit or get minimal touches.

What is the true backstory on Diwun Black? Looks like he is on track to enroll at Florida this summer

Maybe Foamy-B can give us an update....he was certain Black wouldn't qualify during his screen-shot'd tirade months back....

Wow, and Florida isn't as easy to get into as us and OM. If this is true, we obviously got bad info

Etienne is a soph and had by far the most carries at 204 attempts last year. The 2nd most was the senior at 77 carries. You have a Junior who had 78 carries and a freshman with 62 carries. Rotating and truly getting split carries are 2 different things. He’s not taking away carries from Etienne and looking at best around 50 as the 4th back. Maybe 70 as the 3rd back. He won’t take carries from Etienne and Dixon

[Lance Harbor]

Which means Ealy would most likely get carries as a Frosh and a lot of carries a sophomore if Etienne leaves early.

Again, he's not giving up baseball to get 5 carries a game. Even MLB knows that. He gets no extra benefit signing there.

Yeah if you know the family you know the mlb decision was made long ago.

He may not even make into junior college .

That's fair. I just saw an (obviously sunshine pumping) Florida article that said he was on track. But still I wonder why has he latched on to Florida? They have got to be doing something for him that has a chance

But not in a true 3 back rotation like you alluded too. If anything I see Dixon getting more carries and Ealy 3-5 a game. His spot would only be worse if he redshirts vs being 3rd or 4th back at Clemson

Your opinion. I think telling mlb that if I don't get the number I want I'll go eat Big Macs in the white white is better leverage than I'll go to win 8 games at state.

I think artificially propping up recruiting rankings with players that won't make it is dumb so I don't care about signing him

[Cooterpoot]

I want Ealy, but we're all piss'n in the wind here. Even if he signs, he's never showing up.

Which is why I don't give a crap about signing him. Spend every second on young, mingo, plumlee, etc

[Lance Harbor]

Ah, the TRUE Rotation. My bad.***

Just so much can happen with MLB teams and how they rate players throughout this spring. Top 10 in January may not be Top 20 in the draft. May not even be 1st round it happens. MLB is looking harder at college guys as well. Don’t think Ealy plays football but you definitely sign him.

This. All day.
