'16 NC OG Landon Dickerson

[Dust10]

And as far as VN getting a lesson on reality. Yep many posters needed that.

Recruiting isn't always take take take.

If that's patting my back then so be it

I can imagine many posters don't like the way you're seemingly lumping "VN" into one big group and placing yourself outside of that group.

Seems pretty obvious to me that Dickerson likes UT more than UT likes him. I'm not sure where he is on the board, but I think we'd have to miss on more than 1 of our targets before he gets the green light.

Without meeting with butch I can't see anyway he is a take at all. He didn't even get treated like a backup plan IMO

Oh those that think we are taking every highly ranked recruit no matter what know who they are

 

[butchna]

Preciate your expert opinion on me. My buddy works for the department. He's on the field so he hears what players say and his friends in recruiting tell them whatever they can if they know anything. That's all.

Also i did not say Dickerson was in for sure. Just said that if the other big 3 recruits want in and he does too, then niehaus will be the casualty from dickerson getting in.

Niehaus will be on the team next year...tell your buddy. :thumbsup:

Maybe Butch knows he can get him whenever he wants and decided to devote resources elsewhere. Like you said, why even bring him in if he is never a take? I'm sure there is a scenario where he becomes a take. If we do get him, at least the star gazers will be happy, lol.

It's a hard one to figure for sure.


If butch can get this kid and never met with him on am OV or am In home he is better than any of is think

It honestly sounds like we have 3 spots. Warrior byrd and kongbo is what im hoping.

Yep, which is an excellent close.

 

[musolfmj]

Or maybe Butch knows he is heavily leaning elsewhere and simply is not going to spend a lot of time and energy -- unless Dickerson calls after the visit and tells him different, which is why told the kid to call and stay in touch if he wanted to jump aboard the Big Orange Train.

 

[thetennlegend]

Yep, which is an excellent close.

For sure id be thrilled with that.

 

[Wickman]

Well, let's assume that you want to be at least 2 deep at each position, that all freshman redshirt the first year to bulk up and that at least 1 every year leaves early for the pros. Then as we know some don't pan out to be as good as we thought they would be and some transfer out. Take all that into account and I think you need 4-5 OL coming in every year.

In a smaller class, 3 is acceptable, especially with the number of OL we have taken the previous year's. Dickerson projects as a guard, where we are deepest on the OL

Possible but the kid didn't sound that way in the interview

I'm still gonna maintain that we have 4 with Warrior, Bryd, Brown, and Kongbo as the #1 targets. The B list looks to include Moss, Williams, and Dickerson in that order I think.

 

[BruinVol]

Is there a chance all 3 schools don't take this kid?

Hey im good with those 4 haha.

I think FSU has the room, but man what a whirlwind that would be for him. That would be terrible.

Is there a 4th school in the picture?

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

He commits to UNC I guess we'll know.

 

[Wickman]

He visited Auburn, UNC, and VT that I know of

 

[BruinVol]

He visited Auburn, UNC, and VT that I know of

Thanks

Auburn but FSU will take him. I'm starting to piece together it's all for show and Butch knows it so didn't want to waste his time during an already tough number crunch.

Maybe he figured that out during the visit.


Odd deal either way

 

[rcrrcr]

We only have 3 spots unless: Dickerson, Warrior, Brown, Byrd, Daniels, and Kongbo all want to sign. Then we find a way for all six to sign. I know that sounds cold hearted to tell some 3 star player who have been committed for a while that you do not have a spot for them after all. But this is a tough business.

 

[gobraves101035]

Just catching up on him. Why isn't he a take?? I know numbers are tight but he looked like a stud in his all star game. Would hate to pass him up.
