I think the staff doesn't feel great about either inking with us. This commitment IMO finalizes the OL class. I have already been counting Ross a Vol.

No offense but your "projections" of where the 2014 and 2015 classes ended up weren't at all accurate (in terms of numbers and in terms of quality of players) as LebVol. I don't see your screen name change positively impacting your prediction accuracy.

We'll see if we end up with Tucker but OL recruiting in 2017 looks as strong as any other position group. There's a high probability we end up with more than Ross, Locklear, and Tucker. We're very real contenders for too much talent to end up with just 3.

J. Wills and T. Smith are still decent possibilities, and any staff would make room for either one if they want onboard (not saying we end up with either but that's why more than 3 is almost a certainty IMO).

We'll see come Feb but your 2017 OL projection looks weak compared to what it could be IMO.

Needed this after a few recruiting letdowns. Hope this start another set of recruits to commit.

Boom. Boom as in this class is going to be ranked in the lower half of the SEC. We could have landed Wills, Smith, and Eze but instead we pick up the 667th rated player and 73rd OT. The other SEC schools have to be laughing at us right now. This class will sink Butch Jones.

Possibly they feel they can't land the guys you listed?

Dude just looks tough. Judging by staffs excitement on Twitter this was big. Trickle is a heck of an OL coach at FSU that knows his talent and wanted Locklear bad. That's enough OL experience between him and Debord to tell me this kid is legit

This is the guy that will vanish when we sign another top 10 class and have an awesome season.

I am of the opinion that you are doing this on purpose as a troll. You've been in the recruiting forum long enough to know that Locklear was one of our top OL targets (as well as one of FSU's top targets). While low rated commits in 2017 is an overall concern IMO, Locklear's commitment should not add to that concern.

There is no guarantee of any HS player's ability translating to college but if your staff has shown evidence of recognizing talent and developing talent (which ours has) and a player has been identified early on as a high priority (as Locklear and eventual commit Billy Ross have), you don't whine other their ratings when they commit. Again, you might have a point with a few other commits that came out of nowhere (especially on Orange Carpet Day), but not a high priority recruit.

I'm not sure your motives here but they don't appear to be sincere, unless you are truly that dense.
