2018 Recruiting - Football

[Joe Fan]

I have no idea how coaches on the road are supposed to stay in shape and "eat healthy"

 

[Joe Fan]

Another grad transfer OL on our radar
Marcus Applefield was the Rutgers starting RG last season as a RS Jr (he can also play center)
Made the Big10 All-Academic team in all three years he played there
He has already visited Virginia and Pitt and is expected to make a decision soon

 

[Joe Fan]

Every team which finished with 20+ ESPN300s has had the number one recruiting class. We have a legit shot at 20 now
We also have the most 4-stars
This is a big class

 

[LikeMike]

Per Scout, Ohio State already has 21 4 and 5 star guys. What service are you looking at?

 

[LikeMike]

And since every player who can walk and chew gum in Georgia is a 5-star we will have trouble getting ahead of them.

 

[Joe Fan]

I guess with the special sheep.

Shaking my head here. Just when you think it can't get any better. The two guys at the far end, are they the instructors?

Don't the Horns 247 class have at least 1 - 5 star Safety? The kid that was upgraded from a 4 to a 5.... or was that the ESPN list?

 

[Austin_Bill]

Just destroyed the value of that Stanford degree....

You do realize that ASU is one of the most respected graduate schools in the country, and if he is going into international business, a degree from Thunderbird is more prestigious than from Texas.

I have no words, that's because I can't stop laughing.

We have 2 247 Composite 5-stars (not the most)
And 15 247 Composite 4-stars (the most)
More to come

But my comment above was about us having a good shot at landing 20 (or more) players on the ESPN300 and what that might mean if we do --

Rice grand transfer LT Calvin Anderson visited Michigan

“Michigan visit was better than expected. Likely will come down to Texas and Michigan with Auburn trailing behind them.”​

If so, then he will not be taking all 5 OVs.
He was supposed to announce March 25 (birthday) but now might move it up

 

[Joe Fan]

LB Andrew Parker (New Orleans) will visit us Friday - Saturday.
Then go to TCU
He could announce Sunday night or Monday
Either Texas, TCO or Piggy (where he is committed now)

Perroni should change his first name to Poor
Wanna guess where Parker will be visiting instead?

Spoiler

He will not be taking previously scheduled trips to teither Auburn or aggy

 

[Joe Fan]

Moro Ojomo's final two OVs will be Miami and Oregon
No aggy I guess

 

[Joe Fan]

We were hard after this guy for awhile

there is no reason to be worried about Keondre Coburn.

I'm sure being a Rice grad that he is a very bright young man. Surely he knows how many frigid games he would have to play if in the B1G.

Very much hope this is correct.

Wow -- a marijuana user. Good thing we didn't get him... would have upset the cosmic balance to have a player possessing weed.

 

[Joe Fan]

Very much hope this is correct.

FWIW, they sometimes do videos for guys

Joe,

How is your general feeling about Ingram, considering his recent visit to aggy? Are we okay with him, or is there reason to worry?

I think aggy is no worry. Although I admit the first time I saw it, I was like "Whaaaaa..."

 

[Joe Fan]

Apparently we are going to get a nice walk-on running back
They said he has turned down offers from Ivy League schools because he just wants to play for Texas

He is in

Jarrett Smith - Cornell, Princeton

[Joe Fan]

Also an OT

 

[Joe Fan]

 

[rick mueller]

5'5" and 184 #. Pretty solid for his height. Definitely knows how to run north and south.

 

[dukesteer]

Darren Sproles?

I’d like to see if Smith can break any tackles but because no one seems to lay a hand on him, it’s hard to tell.

 

[VYFan]

Yeah, it seemed like he was running through pylons.
I remember that horrid small OU back we couldn’t get a hand on.

 

[Joe Fan]

This staff seems willing to take the walk on program seriously
I dont see how that can hurt

The 247 Alabama site mods think DE Vernon Jackson (Boling) will flip his commitment away from Bama at the end
