2019 Recruiting - Football

Apparently it is possible if not likely that LSU will move up past us into #3
(which would mean aggy would be perilously close to falling out of the top 5)

Didnt Jimbo guarantee the farmers a top 2 class?

Other than Sospher and Devontae Lee who is LSU expecting. With those 2 LSU would have a slight edge. Are we expecting anyone else for this class? Would be nice to land Jerrion Ealy. Not that were light on backs or anything.

 

[Buck-Horn]

From a credible source, but I view it as RUMOR. Bru McCoy is allegedly still in play for UT. He can’t officially sign til next month, so anything is possible. But, put your $ on a USC signing.

So, my source WAS credible....somebody give the Waco Kid a round of applause!!!

[SabreHorn]

His form is near perfect on every tackle. Something that seems to be a lost art on our D.

"lost art" - Are you referring to "form" or "tackle"?

 

[dukesteer]

With all the 5* hoopla lately, not sure everyone has seen the PWO’s we’ve been picking up. Jett puts a few kids in the hospital during his senior highlight film.

His vision, body control and sure handed tackling is pretty impressive.

YES!

Reminds me a bit of Leighton Vander Esch

That clip never gets old! and so does aggy.

Well they are both white

Great film! With a name like that what do you expect, knocking kids out

Now that you mention it, youre right. I hadnt noticed.

FIFY
*OU sucks, aggy just irrelevant...

Jacoby Jones is now a composite 4-star

It looks like with the two more stud players, LSU will finish 288+, which would lift them ahead of us (we are 287s even with the recent Jacoby Jones bump). They do have some potential qualifier issues ahead, but they will take some time to work it way through. Meanwhile, Alabama continues to be a machine.

I did look at us in the calculator too, post McCoy, and if we add both Shepherd and Henry, we would end up at 288.34. So, looks like it will be close.

??? We are talking Louisiana State University, aren't we? 5 seconds at most to clear any issues.

Thanks Joe. Even if we drop to 4 it will still be an excellent class. There are some holes but with another solid season its looking like the 2020 class could address them all.

 

[OrangeShogun]

Damn. Imagine being in the O backfield and seeing that lined up on the other side. Like a couple ravenous wolves about to rip your throat out.

Something else I noticed is that while 247 has McCoy in the calculator already, neither Rivals nor ESPN do. They both have us at 23 commits (247 has us at 24). Once they do add Bru, then we should get another bump in the overall team ranking composite.

And with burnt orange pants and capes it'd be.... never mind.

That’s a great comparison. We’ll see. Sometimes football IQ and feel for the play trumps (no pun intended) outstanding measurables.

From his highlights, Jett Bush looks like a Big 12 linebacker. Great field and ball awareness, moves well in space, tackles and has big play potential on special teams.

His school plays a schedule too - some 6A teams (Pearland, George Ranch and Beaumont Westbrook (the 6A Div. II State runner up )

He looks the kind of player Bill Snyder would drop his pants for.

 

[Austin_Bill]

We need to IMMEDIATELY hire whoever taught Bush to tackle. His form is near perfect on every tackle. Something that seems to be a lost art on our D.

When I was watching his video, I was thinking, his DC is pretty damn good and calling defensive plays that gets this kid in the backfield unblocked often. Not to mention he is damn good at finding the football.

Like I said, he is a guy that Mack would have committed early and we would be slobbering all over him. Herman gets him late as a POW who i think will eventually earn real playing time and a scholarship.
