I hate talking about silent commits as much as anyone else but while sitting at the bar last night my friends started talking about recruiting and it ended with a question.

Do you think Kiffin has had some of the bigger names that are going to the UA game to keep quiet until then so when they grab the kids off the field and have them do there theatrics with hats and what not, a bunch of kids pick UT. Miami and FSU got a ton of press for it last year.

So that’s my question to yall.

Under Armour is the best roster. College Football Recruiting - Under Armour All-Americans - ESPN
Orlando January 2.

Some of the guys we want are EE but it could build momentum if a guy like Dunkley joined Cobbs that day.

Dyer will commit before then but
Fulton, C Green,
Christian Jones
JaWuan James
L Joyner
Lemonier
J Stone
D White...

We do not have a shot at all of the above, but yeah it would be incredible to get one or two to commit on national TV.

I dont think they would have kids wait until the game. Recruiting builds momentum from kids committing.

From Army guys who we have a remote chance with
(some better than others but even if it is 5% they are in our class I am leaving them on here)
Ahmad Dixon
CJ Mosley
Josh Shirley
Lache Seastrunk
Jeffrey Whittaker
Marcus Lattimore
Victor Hampton

Kelcy Quarles and Garrison Smith are committed guys we will not give up on, but I do not see them switching at the game at all.

I am giving us 0% now with Ronald Powell and just praying he stays home at USC and does not go to UF.

By the time those games happen, we'll be almost done with our class. Why not have your last guy or two commit at the game if they're playing?

Nevermind, I'm about a month late.

Wow, a month, you should take one of those EPTs. Haha, just messing with you. Couldn't resist. The wife and I are trying to have a baby right now and it's on the brain.

Back on topic, I think Kiffin certainly knows the importance of kids announcing on national TV and it wouldn't surprise me if he had one or two silent commits for each of the games.

Seems more prescient now with all the out of state kids who could switch. Dyer and mosley,
Lemonier
Quarles,
Chaz Green,
J Whittaker

Ahmad Dixon.

If our class drops back down to 18 or so and we roll into january at 8-4 we could see huge buzz generated by 2 guys announcing for UT at each game.

8-4 is not in the cards. Can't get there from 6-5.

I know a lot of guys wait to announce even though they silently committed to a team because they want to do it on national television and have their day in the sun.

I sure hope CLK and staff hasnt told kids to hold off till the AA games, and I honestly dont see them doing it. Being that close to NSD, it wouldnt help us very much in this class, if at all......and for better or worse, getting the UT name "out there" in the media and for recruits to see is definitely NOT a problem anymore. I would hope the staff tells kids to make a commit verbal ASAP in hopes of swaying other guys before its too late.
