The National Signing Day Thread

[t-gator]

That's big for Quay Walker to swing by Gainesville and then flip his official to the last weekend before signing day.

I'm starting to think it's the following:
1. WR Jacob Copeland
2. WR Justin Watkins
3. OL Richard Gouraige
4. OL NPF, Will Barnes, Ed Montilus, or Christian Meadows
5. DT Noah Jefferson (JUCO)
6. DT Malcolm Lamar, Coynis Miller, or Nesta Silvera
7. DE Dorian Gerald (JUCO)
8. DE Andrew Chatfield, Chauncey Manac (JUCO), Jamarcus Chatman, Caleb Tannor, or Malik Langham
9. LB Quay Walker or Xavier Peters
10. DB Olaijah Griffin or Mario Goodrich

I thought we're trying to get walker and peters?

This sounds like he has decided the good guys and moved it to recruit the big boys on the 2nd. Or my inner pumper hopes

If we get Barnes we also get Montilus, which I'm totally fine with.

We NEED a freshman DL in this class (and another LB).

They certainly wouldn't turn either of them down...I just think it's unlikely to think that both will flip to us. We could also take a third receiver if one wants in (Tommy Bush, Jalen Preston, or Justyn Ross). I don't think we are likely to get any of those three though at this point. Let's see what happens after they visit. Remember, Trevon Grimes and Van Jefferson are outside receiving threats while guys like Jacob Copeland and Justin Watkins are definitely going to be in that slot/Percy-type spot.

We'll take any linebackers that want in off of my list. I'd honestly say the same about the DT board as well. This is what I've got currently (in order of most likely):

WR- Jacob Copeland, Justin Watkins, Anthony Schwartz, Tommy Bush, Justyn Ross, Jalen Preston
OL- Richard Gouraige, Will Barnes, Ed Montilus, NPF, Christian Meadows
DT- Noah Jefferson, Malcolm Lamar, Coynis Miller, Nesta Silvera
DE- Dorian Gerald, Chauncey Manac, Jamarcus Chatman, Malik Langham, Andrew Chatfield
LB- Quay Walker, Xavier Peters
DB- Olaijah Griffin, Mario Goodrich, Nikko Hall, Patrick Surtain, Tyson Campbell

You ILUVBUTTERS BCSTARSDONTMATTER people are relentless. Yeah UCF was 13-0 despite having no talent, bc they played 12 teams who have even less.

I never said stars don’t matter.

 

[Theologator]

Holy **** how is this still an argument? Stars absolutely matter. It cant be argued. Its a fact with data to prove it. Anomalies happen, like this year

I don’t actually see anyone saying they don’t.

(from TOS):


Andre Rison's son to transfer from Michigan State and wants to play in the SEC. He says he wasn't comfortable in their offense and hes looking for a better fit. (The radio interview is by Andre Rison but the things he says about his kid come across as very entitled- jmo)

He played in 12 games as a true freshman recording 19 catches for 224 yards. Hunter was a 4 star WR out of Ann Arbor

The kicker here is that Dan Mullen and company really wanted Hunter last year. (MISS ST offered him) Hunter has a very good relationship with Mullen and it's possible that Hunter will reach out to Dan.

He was offered by Bama, UCLA, Ohio State, Michigan, Auburn, Oklahoma, Miami, etc...

MSU's QB Messiah deWeaver has transferred to "Last Chance U" (East Mississippi CC)

Is one of the quality control coaching spots going to an astrologer?

Yeah, we need sky-high change that's firmament.

Good for him. Someone's gotta count the tickets at the entry to the big top.

This reads like a stage parent giving his son bad advice. I’d want my kid to tough it out and earn his PT. There’s too little here to firm a set opinion, but given Andre’s diva history I’d be careful about inviting that sense of entitlement into the program.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

I love that they get three simple choices of Lean/Gain/Maintain. Wish my life was so laid out for me.

I don't think they have a choice

 

[Alagator]

Sometimes.... I can read a post... and not even have to look at the name. It’s one of those, “only ‘Rog would speak like that moments.” Actually..... I think ALL of your posts are like that.... NTTAWWT. I’m just saying....

 

[Slevin]

Grimes is a 5*

You know whats crazy is that this reminded me of Lemons. Kid was considered one of the top 2-3 backs in high school, the best player in florida, up unitl he started getting in trouble and missing games. He dropped like a rock in the ratings but his talent is still there and we saw it in small amounts this year. I only mention because Grimes got injured and dropped in the rankings at least on 247 from 5 to 4 star. But lemons is a bonified 5 star talent we need to take advantage of

 

[Alagator]

If he’s using the same math Miami uses to count their attendance.... he’ll be out of his circus job and in “short order” be back on fries !
