'15 FL DE Marques Ford (FORMER UT commit)

[InVOLuntary]

I have an idea 😉

I think we look good for Kelly and Sapp. Then I wonder if we might feel like we could get both Allen and Richmond.

If you say Torrance Gibson I swear....

Need to drop Picou and smith and the 3rd qb jones that we don't need the miller kid lovingood too before ford

Picou and Smith are two of the most underrated player in this class, and they also come from one of the richest pipelines in the South.

Telling players highly rated players to go away has burned us more often than not. Most recently Petty and Boyd.

Haha no way. I think it's Richmond. Just too much smoke lately with him and UT. That's the only uncommitted guy that I could recall that would be this important to Butch. JMO

 

[logginlarry]

Seems like Kelly would be the one, given the VQ/247 chatter this afternoon. Richmond too early, Allen undecided, and Sapp....well, he's a defensive player. Not sure the coaches would trade a defender for defender. Probably makes no sense, but Kelly makes the most sense.

Hi Guys surely this isn't for some average player to come on board- especially with the big recruiting news in 36 hours that I read- I still don't understand why him and not some other player first...Eazy who do you think?

He will for sure be replaced by at the very least a 5.8. I'm guessing a 6.0 or 6.1.

Corey Bender, recruiting analyst on scout, said Ford's coach is his best friend and was told UT pulled the offer for someone else. I feel we may have burned a bridge to that school in the future

Wow!! I wonder who it was for. And I was becoming convinced it was grades.

Of course, the coach could be covering for Ford so it wouldn't hurt his chances with other schools. I'm sure CBJ is fine with that.

I'm happy to see Kahlil is supporting Ford in this. I'm leaning toward grades.

I'd rather keep Ford, than drop him for Kelly. Just my opinion

i hope marques lands at a great place and excels. he has demonstrated class and maturity throughout.

I thought we did everything possible to get Boyd. His mom wanted his close to home though. I could be wrong.

Im not sure you know what youre talking about honestly.

Drop Picou and Smith? That would mean we would currently have 2 DTs and ZERO outside linebackers currently committed.

Drop Jones? Why would we drop someone we just landed 2 weeks ago? Because our QB situation is so good right now. Esp since Dormady's shoulder might keep him from being available this season.

We need a longsnapper because we havent been able to get one lately, and you need a good longsnapper. Besides, hes a blueshirt and wont count against this class.

Funny that youre only naming our lowest rated commits

I really am not a fan of this move, especially the timing. That being said, DE is a position we have great athletes at in this class and have 3 really good ones. Still sucks though. Ford will be a great player

Would like to see Auburn, so he can go off on Bama.

Lane Kiffin told him he wasn't needed at Tennessee

 

[Wickman]

No way we would need to drop Smith. Or Piccou. Smith is easily the most underrated recruit we have

 

[Coastypop]

I feel like other guys in this class should have been let go first.

Pretty bummed.

for sure

Agreed.

LOL!!!!! Good one.

I would flip TF out if Smith was let go.

 

[JCP201]

Not happy.

 

[LotteryPick]

Maybe Jakob is moving to DE too.

Still don't like it.

Yep, Smith and Piccou aren't going anywhere unless on their own accord.
