I think that will be a disaster. Belichick has never recruited a day in his life.

The plan he has is really good. If UNC will follow it. He's not really recruiting. He's taking the Kiffin and Deion plan and recruiting the portal.

Wow! It looks like Bill Belichick has agreed to the North Carolina job pending approval by their AD and Board of Trustees.

UNC hates young people

[HoopsDawg]

That happens with every player though. That's why it's called the Bama bump. Look no further than Bray Hubbard(who ended up being a really good player). But he was a low 3 star when he committed to us, he gets a Bama offer and is a mid 4 star the next day.

The Bama bump makes sense. The Steve bump don't.

[StarkVegasSteve]

The Bama bump makes sense. The Steve bump don't.

The point I was trying to make was, and maybe I did a bad job, was that these recruiting evals are not unbiased. Whether it be a Bama bump or a certain network site having a lot of subscribers, there is always going to be bias in these rankings. There is no such thing as unbiased recruiting Rankings because every one of these guys were a fan before they were anything.

Agreed - people forget that Bilichek is a master at finding value in players under the radar - I mean, college is basically turning into the NFL with no salary cap anyway.

As I've stated, I would expect us to heavily pursue Sheffield. I would also expect us to pursue Gibson.

[KB21]

Chris Murray, an Edge from Sam Houston State, has been offered. He and the linebacker we offered from Marshall seem to be close.

[Chuck3124]

Nic Anderson is officially in the portal

[StarkVegasSteve]

Jalil Farooq,WR from OU, in the portal. We will be a player for him.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Travis Shaw from UNC in the portal. He could turn your defense around in a hurry. 5 star out of HS. 6'5 330

Arnold is supposed to visit Auburn on Thursday. We'll see if that visit ends up taking place.

Are we expecting him to visit us before or after?

Considering setting one up for the weekend, but could be sooner than that. Possibly tomorrow. If not tomorrow it will be Friday and Saturday.

Also, no one freak out. We knew there was a pretty good chance he would end up visiting there.

Rankings started to mean less when they did away with 2 stars.

You don't visit unless you're interested. Auburn and their weapons along with money is a legitimate situation.

You still feel good about us landing Arnold?

It is a legitimate situation. But we've got it handled. They're throwing an astronomical amount of money at him. Hell they're paying him to visit.
