it's probably Riley wanting to stay silent, not the coaches wanting him to stay silent.


IF it's true.

Thing is, the coaches let these kids know when they are willing to accept commits from them or not. They also tell them when they will go public with it.

I'm just getting into the whole recruiting scene so can someone explain to me why a player would want to be silent? I mean I know if it was me I'd want everyone to know and get it over with.. well I know it's not over until the LOI is signed but at least then it would be a little less hectic I would think

Yes, but Riley has already given the date which he wants to announce, so he may want to keep it silent until then.

I see what you're saying, though. It's all speculation on my part.

I think that a early signing process is in the works. Too much money being spent and schools having a monetary short fall will be the biggest reasons.

I dont know if I like the idea of an early signing period because of what happened with us and alot of recruits last year. We never would have landed Nuke and Teague and probably would have never had a shot with BB. I think an early signing period kills the chances of teams going through coaching changes who would get a late start in recruiting. But at the same time I think there should be a deadline so the process doesnt go on forever like some kids do.

It would help the kids to make better decisions and it would save the universities a lot of money. It would also curve the early commits you see, IMO.

I disagree about the kids making a better decision. I think the longer they have the better decision they make because they can visit more colleges and think about the decision more

“They’re a superb university, develops student athletes, have great NFL experienced staff, and awesome facilities. They send athletes to the next level and help them reach their goals. I also have family in Tennessee.”

thats been a topic of discussion for awhile. No one knows.

One reason (maybe) with the cali kids having family in TN is alot of major companies are coming East. Nissan's Main headquarters is in Brentwood. I think Saturn has alot invested. thats all I can think of but just a thought.

“They are recruiting me harder than anyone,” Riley said. “They have really turned up the heat. I get a handwritten letter from them everyday, usually more than one. I’m getting the most from Ed Orgeron and Coach Cregg."

“Right now I’m planning on taking an official visit to Tennessee for sure,” Riley said. “We are talking about coming down for the Georgia game. I want to check things out and see what kind of game day atmosphere I can expect at Rocky Top.”

“USC has always been one of my dream schools,” Riley said. “But I want to explore other lifestyles away from the West Coast. You never know I may find something I like better than what I’m use to. Every school that has offered me I’m open to at this point.”

Per Scout... This sounds VERY encouraging. He also said when he visited last year and the stadium blew him away. He imagined himself running though the T. He said Orgeron still sticks out in his mind from when he was attending camps at USC when he was 11 and 12 years old...

I think UT has a chance with this kid from the things I previously read about him. If he still plans to take an official to UT we still have a chance of getting him.

La Canada (Calif.) St. Francis safety Dietrich Riley kept hearing from the Alabama coaching staff but had no clue why. Sure, the Crimson Tide were interested but he thought they hadn't offered and so he was confused as to why the coaches kept telling him they wanted him. Then he picked up some mail at school and, lo and behold, an Alabama offer had been sitting there for weeks. Distance is not a factor, Riley said, and so Oklahoma, Alabama, Michigan and Notre Dame are some of his top teams. Still, many feel USC is the team to beat, with Arizona State also strongly in the mix.

He may very well be. I have heard rumors, but nothing substantial as of yet. I would say that more prospects are committed to many schools that aren't public yet. I also think this guy wants to leave Cali.
