2019 Recruiting Thread

[Ari Gold]

Right now, my biggest issue with this year’s class is that I’m still concerned that we aren’t going to take advantage of a really loaded year when we really have no competition in state or at least we shouldn’t.

I’m not upset about any one player not signing with us, it’s that we had a chance to really take the reigns in state.

Now if we close strong, it will be solid, but I’m just concerned that we missed an opportunity to distance ourselves from a pure talent standpoint from the confederates.

Hopefully we are talking about closing strong in two weeks.

Here’s the deal with the top 12 -15 players .. it didnt matter if it was Joe, Mullen, Pruitt, Morris, ect.... we weren’t going to get the majority of the these guys

We weren’t getting Jackson or Handy period.
No one thought we had a chance at Dean, it was closer than it seemed but in the end he was never going to stay in state
Ealy and Young. I said if Young stays in state he will be a dog. That still holds true
I said if Ealy plays ball in college he will be at State. I still think that’s true
I never had a good feeling about Mingo still have a chance but I would be shocked
I thought we would get Hall but with recruiting and the way some of these kids and their camps handle it well you figure it out and look where he ended up.
Moore, just like everyone else , thought he was a lock. See above Hall
Plumlee. He won’t be a SEC QB.. I expected him to go outside the SEC if he is dead set on playing QB. And it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up ( OM) he isn’t there long. Transfer out.

Cross , Pickering, Jarrian ( who is a top 10 player ) and Russell are SEC calibure talent
If we can pull Young and still get Moore thats half of the top 12.

Bottom line if we flip Young, and
Fill in with some out of state talent and a transfer or 2 this will be a very solid class
