2018 Recruiting Thread

Yancy and David hardly ever concede this easy. Feels like they are trying for maximum impact.

He has been decommitted for Almost 2 months and has been a “Umiss lean” since he decommited . How is it a flip special.?
Looks more like a recruiting win for JoeMo and staff to me if/ when he commits to the good guys

I've thought the very same thing.

And it was an all star game. A kid that went to Delta State won MVP in it one time. But you can list all of the 5'7 DBs in the SEC if you want to. Then, all the ones in the NFL. It's just not happening. I'm sure he's a good athlete and kid.

You can dismiss it if you want, those were big time recruits from Alabama he was beating up on and I've seen him for 4 years he was just as good as Murphy was for West Point and folks on here say he should be a 5 star. I find that funny

I have not seen this kid, but he is gushed over on this board. With all the high praise from everyone on here and the special teams idea of hoops, you guys have sold me on taking a chance. If we are gonna reach, reach on a kid that was a difference maker in HS

I don't know, this staff has certainly taken a look at him by now and if they decide he's not SEC worthy vs the names that do pop up as targets, I think you have to trust their evaluation of the kid. HS ball is very different than college... he may dominate in HS because he's already near his ceiling as far as speed/strength/fundamentals go, but once those other guys have time to catch up in those areas he'd be behind them. Like I say I don't know but you have to say that if we've missed on so many recruits and this staff still doesn't want him, then he's probably not a SEC player

Latest on Robinson?

Checking out his profile, I see he is a .79 rated player. He is still the 6th best player in his state. The state of Kansas has 1 composite 4*. That is crazy to me. What Kansas state has accomplished is really impressive with that lack of in-state HS talent

To say Knight is just as good as Murphy is ****ing absurd.

Nobody is saying he wasn't as good for Pearl, but this isn't Pearl. He guy has no position. But time will get to prove you right or wrong. You point has been made. Let it go.

Fair enough

Turn on the tape and tell me there is any difference except Murphy is taller.

Both played both ways, both made plays on both sides, both even ran the wildcat at QB and you couldnt stop them.

I don?t know the answer to this question and maybe you or someone else can answer. Can we sign enough that would put us over the 85 scholly limit and adjust before the fall or do you have to just stay at 85 or below at all times? Thanks

Pretty sure the scholarships don't count until they're enrolled and on scholarship. So if you don't have more than 85 players between those on scholarship in the spring (withtveligibility remianig) and signees, you're usually not going to have 85 scholarship players in the fall.

which is what makes me uneasy. I am most likely wrong and will be glad when I am for sure. This just has my radar up based on past Ole Miss shenanigans and of course them wanting to get us back for Jeffrey Simmons.

The NCAA rule says you can not have over 85 players on scholarship. So as long as they aren't enrolled, then they shouldn't be counted toward the 85 limit. If you have attrition during the year, the only way you can make up for those losses is through transfers from other schools, or you could give a walk-on player a scholarship, after his second year (I believe this is still in effect). These two options would not count against the up to the 25 max that you can sign each year.

Special teams is a third of the game. He could be on all of the special teams units such as punt coverage, kick coverage, returns, etc. That would be a bigger contribution than some of these late pickups will make. Steve Tasker was a pro bowler and he only played special teams. Also, we have room. There is now way we won't have attrition after the spring. I bet we end up at least 3 under the 85 number.

If gonna reach on someone like this late, I'd rather go get Tony Brown from East Central.

Appreciate that. Very succinct. Thank you!

I think Luke is more concerned right now on trying to get players signed next Wednesday, than orchestrating some type of hat circus, like I'm pretty sure that Freeze initiated. Luke may have been involved in one or so during Freeze's tenure as HC, but I think those were instigated by Freeze. Of course you never know what that bunch will do.
