If you count Thomas's commitment but consider Parker a decommit (which all signs point to) and if you count Loften in the number we are at 17...so there are 11 spots left

I don't follow recruiting as closely as others, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but we currently have 73 scholarship players and we are losing 13 to graduation, leaving us with 60. Unless some guys leave early, then signing 28 would put us at 88, three over the 85 limit. Am I missing something?

Yes. Between March & August 2010, we had nine players leave the team for various reasons, by my count, and four 2010 signees not qualify. There is always some attrition.

If you count Loften & Dixon then we have 9 remaining spots in this class. How do you think we finish up?

IMO:

OL:

4* Antonio Richardson
4* Cameron Clear

LB:

3* Gionni Paul

DB:

3* Derek King
3* Kadetrix Marcus/Geraldo Orta ( first one to commit )

DT:

4* Gabe Wright
4* Mickey Johnson

WR:

4* DeAnthony Arnett
3* Vincent Dallas


Hubbs said this morning that the staff might not take Dixon, that would leave 1 more spot & I think we would take 1 more DT.

4* JUCO Maurice Couch

OL: A. Richadson, C. Clear

WR:Vincent Dallas

TE: J. Rome

DE: Jordan Williams

DT: Mickey Johnson, Maurice Couch

LB: Gionni Paul (KILLER NAME!!)

DB: D. King, K. Marcus

That's the easy way out. But I'm thinking we steal someone from another school, possibly DeBell fom UGA or someone else. The more turmoil at UGA the better for us. IF, IF we whiff on our DTs I think we go back for a 2nd look at Terry Redding. But I just can't help but think Dooley has something up his sleave. Who seen the DaRick and Justin Hunter thing happening?

We have 11 spots left actually, Hubbs said he doesnt think were going to take Dixon & that he thinks were going to try & sign 28.

And if Juda Parker DOES De-commit, I think we SHOULD take another look at Redding, JMO. Is he a world beater? No, but neither was Juda IMO. We need DTs BAD! We have a good shot at 3 ELITE DTs, probably will get 2, and 1 of them might not qualify.

It was to my understanding that Redding, also, had grade issues. If that is the case I plead the staff to look another direction. Sign and place prospects do UT no good. Imagine if the staff signs him and Mickey Johnson only to have both of them go the JUCO route. How bad would that suck? Horribly. We need players who QUALIFY.

IIRC, Dunaway & Redden have conditional offers based on them getting their grades in order before NSD.

Zathra, my spirit guide told me that our last 12 recruits would be:

WR- Vincent Dallas
TE- Jay Rome
CB- Malcolm Mitchell
S- Ed Loften
DE- Jemauria Rasco, Jordan Williams, Cameron Clear
DT- Mickey Johnson, Gabe Wright
OT- Tiny Richardson
LB- Gionni Paul, Jairi Dunaway (sign & place)

Yeah, if his grades are an issue that in itself could be an issue. We could sure use him.

Grades, my oh my grades. JEEZ, these kids don't get it do they?

But it starts with the freaking parents too. I make my travel baseball team bring me their report cards. If they slip on their grades, they don't play. If their parents don't like it, they can leave and take their kids with them. Perhaps it's a bit harsh for 10 yr olds. But if they have average to bad grades, but have the time to play travel ball, something is wrong. JMO.

A lot of kids come economically disadvantaged homes where education is not a priority. It's not as simple as checking a grade card.

My kids are in an economically disadvantaged home which makes it a huge priority. I quit shool to go to work at 16 to help out my family. I went to work with a flooring installer and learned that trade. I made a lot of money for a 26 years, but now I cant work because of shot knees and a degenerative disc disease (I have 4 herniated discs at this point, Doc says it will get worse). Moral of my story, I have made it a priority for my kids to get good grades and go to college. Being poor is no excuse for stupid decisions like the one I made. Also being poor is not an excuse for being to lazy to work at getting good grades. My kids are all honor roll.

We'll oversign and greyshirt some underrated kids with no major offers I think. JMO but I think we oversign probably even more than Hubbs has stated.

we moved up to 23 on rivals and 5 teams in front of us average below 3 stars.... we're going to make a big move with a good finish

Hope we finish up with all the recruits qualifying and staying at least 3 years. It would be the best thing that could possibly happen to this program. We need to do the same thing for about 3 years....then watch players beg to come to UT.

We have 11 spots remaining not counting Loften.

I say we have a very good chance at landing:

4* Antonio Richardson
4* Cameron Clear
3* Vincent Dallas
3* Derek King

That's the BIGGEST load of mess I've ever read in my life. My family is from East Cleveland Ohio. E.C. is top 10 in the nation annually for crime, very comparable to Memphis, Jersey, N.O., Mia, etc. EVERYONE in the family has a college degree. East Cleveland was our motivation. You obviously have no clue.:no:
