Passing on a recruit does not always work out. Hopefully in this case it does. If I were Ford, it would be tough to hear there is no longer room at DT, yet there are no DTs committed publicly. Hope it works out better than situations like passing on AJ Turman as "we had bigger fish on the line". If a kid is not willing to go public, I would not count them as a commitment. Saving commitments and having them commit later to try and ease the pain of a loss as some have suggested, is just pathetic IMO. Most fans who follow recruiting have a pretty good idea of how this class is going to end up recruit wise. Those who don't, won't care/have any clue who committed anyway. If we are turning away 4 star DTs now, the coaches better hope the kids they think they have on board stick. I would be taking commitments of kids ready to go NOW and willing to shut down their recruitment.

I agree with you this time but we don't have all the actual facts either.

If we have 5 players committed in August the staff isn't recruiting well -- if the staff has 20+ committed in August they are moving too fast and passing up on talent.

We are in a good spot right now folks, and we should be extremely happy and proud of that. We can speculate who has what spot and so on, but we've trusted them up to this point and they haven't disappointed. Until they do so, have some faith.

Question about passing on DT's.
Paul

On Poona, it's not just Tennessee. His stock has fallen with South Carolina as well. Remember, Tennessee saw him in person at camp and has slowed down on him since then back in June. Most believe he's just too small to play in this league. I think there are some on and off the field questions around Williams where Tennessee just wasn't ready to do something with him right now. WIth Humphreys, I think the coaches just may not be on high on him as Rivals is.

I find it hard to believe, but that's the feeling that's out there. Ford's height (barely 6-0) is scaring teams. Something happened with Williams. I was really feeling Tennessee with him after his last visit here. And we will see what's up with Humphries.

I can't help but speculate that perhaps some of our current commits put in negative feedback on one of these guys. Recall we had hints that some of our recuits were at camps evaluating the attitude of prospects

Will announce on Tuesday. 6 hats on the table and UT is one of them. Looks to be headed to UL, and I think the kid will do well there.

It seems like everyone is at a consensus that he's headed to Louisville, but if you needed any further proof, there have been 13 Crystal Ball predictions for Ford to Louisville in the last week. I know these predictions aren't always right, but 3 of them are from South Carolina insiders and considering we've slowed down on him, it's pretty obvious that UL is where he's headed.

#Purdue misses out on 4-Star DT Poona Ford, who pledges to #Louisville. Boiler coaches did good work getting in the hunt.

Why? Everyone and their brother has been saying Louisville for weeks, hell even months. Even in the point where Close was feeding us that UT garbage.
