2019 Recruiting Thread

[KOdawg1]

Honestly the recruiting thread should be private to all people not signed in.

I 100% agree with this. Mods, make it happen.

[KOdawg1]

So back to recruiting since this is a recruiting thread.

Ja'Quay Hubbard announces on Sept. 1st. Are we still confident he'll choose us? It's us or Virginia I think, so surely we can beat out them. Besides Hubbard, are we looking at anyone else to commit soon?

Owners make this happen for MSU and Elitdawg reputation!

It's no slam dunk. You have to look at the distance between him and his family.

In an interview, he said distance from home was no factor, but you know how that goes

Stick around ari.. as soon as the season starts and we start winning all the bad emotions from folks will ease up.

Who is Whop?

Who is Whop?

Devonta Jason. 4* WR we signed out of New Orleans last year

It's always a factor if all else is equal. Hopefully he sees that Virginia football isn't equal.

Seriously though - I don't think I've ever seen another avatar that more perfectly matches the poster's online persona than yours. Well done.

What's the knock on Rodriguez Clark - RB - Starkville? Injuries? The dude is a built like a tank! Is it time to offer this kid or am I missing something?

If I had to guess, he or LaKenith Thompson from Callaway would be our 2nd back behind Gray or Emerson, should we be able to flip either. If we don't get one of them to flip, idk what we do. Maybe take both Clark and Thompson, which would be meh

[KOdawg1]

Jashon Watkins. Are we looking at him at WR or DB? His tape and offer sheet looks impressive. What are our chances with him?

He's had 2 major injuries & he's not a HR threat like Huff likes. Could things change after another full season of work? Sure but Huff has a style & Dreke isn't really that type.

Thompson isn't on the board. This staff has never recruited him.

We're recruiting him as a WR. His main concern is his speed.

So if Thompson isn't on the board, and Clark isn't a take, what are our options at RB besides Gray and Emery?

Gray & Emery are still top of the list as is Ealy. Ronald Thompkins right below them & there are a couple other guys without offers being monitored. We're not going to just start reaching on guys in July/August because the best RB in the country commits elsewhere. Eric Gray is still being receptive to our recruiting & is the top guy outside of Emery. We have 1 of the top RB Coach recruiters in the country. We're not just going to settle because we didn't get THE BEST RB IN THE COUNTRY. We move on to #2 which is Gray not #6 or 7. People complained about Mullen recruiting for years but offering Clark now would be a classic Mullen/Knox lazy move.
