is this a good sign?

 

[Blake25p]

is this a good sign?

Probably not

 

[KG1821]

I’m sure this will go over extremely well here

 

[Carp]

He's gotten some big offers in recent days. Probably one of those guys who got overlooked until people saw his tape. To his credit, his film is pretty impressive. But I'm not sure how good his competition was.

We have Garner. I feel pretty good about the eval.

Nebraska and Syracuse…

What big offers? Do you consider Nebraska and Syracuse big offers? Probably one of the diamonds in the rough

 

[Carp]

Nebraska and Syracuse…

Power 5 schools. After having 0 Power 5 offers a week ago. Somebody definitely saw something.

Kinda like that GA WR a few years ago that we offered after seeing his tape. He committed her at the start of Dec, then flipped to FSU like 2 weeks later when they offered.

So is it safe to assume you think this a good sign we offered this guy?

Syracuse and Rutgers aren’t bad offers for a NJ kid

The guy is unranked on 247. Why in the world are we offering him? Is our DL board really this bad?? Why don’t we hear about us trying to flip anyone else?

Jordan Young. Went to FSU and did nothing for 3 years then transferred to FAU for a year and continued doing nothing. 19 career recs, 220 yds, 1 TD.

I was disappointed when he bailed on us, but then he was exactly what his original ranking said he was.

The coaches don’t just sit at their desks scrolling 247 to decide who to offer.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Or the teams offering him have stuck out on basically all their top targets and have to scrape the bottoms for what they can. I wonder if UGA, Bama, OSU, Clemson, UK, Missouri, TAMU, Texas or LSU will offer?

 

[allvolrecruiting]

All I know is Ekeler was in New Jersey today so I assume he saw him

 

[Carp]

So is it safe to assume you think this a good sign we offered this guy?

I think it's intriguing that a guy with zero power 5 offers this late in the process suddenly gets 4 within a week.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I think it's intriguing that a guy with zero power 5 offers this late in the process suddenly gets 4 within a week.

I can see that if you just want to look at one side. What’s more likely though. This guy goes all year, through his HS season, just completely unnoticed by ALL the major universities until JUST now? Or the teams offering him this late have just struck out on so many targets that he happens to be a fall back option?

I mean I think if you used common sense you would land on the latter.

 

[JCVol00]

I dont hate the offer, but it makes me wonder who we missed on or who has decided to leave

This is a completely wasted scholarship spot. Instead we should be looking at guys like Nolen and Fadill. Not some unranked Kent State commit.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Word is Baron is leaving. But that may be it.

That said, what is the plan after the senior heavy class departs?

Not sure what kind of competition he played against, but he had some pretty gaudy stats in just 7 games this year…

Perhaps his suitors arent tampering
