The National Signing Day Thread

[Ancient Reptile]

Or to put the matter differently, before a jury, law would win: before a judge I would win hands down. Law knows that and it bothers him
Part of the reason he goes nuts on me occasionally with vulgarity, poor grammar and exceedingly intemperate remarks.

You do realize that rating are fluid and do not change after NSD. You going to call Corral a 5* or Jake Allen a 4*. Because they were at one point in time. Spikes was a 4* when he committed to us. So was he a 4* or 5*? Wait that's not a question, he's a 5*, because we signed him as a 5*.

As for your assertion about the Pounceys being twins and so on. Mike stayed an extra year to improve his draft status, because his brother was higher rated coming out of UF.

Are you dense? The only point in time that matters is when they were recruited. At that time one was a three star. That Rivals later changed the rating is immaterial. Yes, Mike stayed on because he was lower rated, another peculiarity since I believe he was the one higher rated initially inHS.

I believe NPF is supposed to be legitimately smart. I forget what his mother does, but it's supposed to be fairly high level. I think he wants a good education and I don't see him at Bama. To me, the weather in Columbus will make the difference. Either he hates it or can deal with it. Very hard to project what he's thinking though. Also don't know what he wants to major in, which will make a difference also.

Heard an interview with the kid. The kid is top 5 in the class go to Harvard business school smart.

Weather this weekend in Columbus Ohio is cold and snow all weekend

That's heartbreaking!

I imagine they know that southern kids aren't going to like bitter cold weather so they do something to mitigate it (i.e. keep them inside as much as possible....make sure they can get around outside easily - such as alternative transportation, clearing the sidewalks where they'll be outside the most, etc). I can't imagine the recruiting staffs haven't found ways to address this and that they don't know it's an issue. But it does help us if the weather is sh*tty.

Linebacker Andrew Chatfield’s mother discusses their official visit to Florida

Florida impresses Andrew Chatfield
One of the nation’s top pass rushers made his way to Florida last weekend.

The Gators received the final official visit from 4-star defensive end/linebacker Andrew Chatfield, who attends American Heritage High School in Plantation, Fla.

Chatfield drove up to Gainesville with multiple family members, including his mother, Ketelie Chatfield. She discussed their trip with SEC Country.

“It was a great visit,” she said. “The environment at Florida was great. It’s a great place for a school. I just liked the people, the atmosphere and how well everybody gets along.”

Chatfield’s mother said she has been impressed with Florida coach Dan Mullen, who conducted an in-home visit on Jan. 18. Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham is recruiting the 6-foot-2, 221-pound defender to play outside linebacker in his 3-4 scheme.

“I like the new coaches,” Chatfield’s mother said. “From what I saw, they work well together. They have an agenda and they’re putting in a system to meet that agenda. I can see how determined Coach Mullen is to push the guys to do their best.”

That push from Mullen doesn’t only happen on the football field. For Chatfield’s mother, the highlight of the trip was learning about the academic resources at UF and how much that matters to Mullen.


“Coach Mullen really cares about education. As he says, football is easy,” Chatfield’s mother said. “So he has to concentrate on the players in the classroom and make sure they’re there to accomplish what they came to school for.

“He checks to see if they’re going to class and keeps them focused on their education as well as football. We liked the Otis Hawkins Center and the fact that they have a 20-to-1 teacher ratio. That was really impressive.”

In addition to Florida, Chatfield has officially visited to Florida State (Jan. 19), Miami (Jan. 12) and Oklahoma (Nov. 11). He plans to make his decision on National Signing Day.

“All the schools that we visited have been great,” Chatfield’s mother said. “It’s just a matter of where he feels the most comfortable. So we are praying for God to lead him with this decision to a place that he’ll be comfortable for the next phase of his life.”

Yeah. Nobody gives a shyet about scout. Or 247 for that matter. There’s a reason that scout doesn’t exist anymore.

I swear you are high half the time. So technically there are a couple juniors who will get signed before rivals gives them a star rating. Or they may not have been evaluated yet at all. Or they may have been evaluated but did not blow up until their senior season. So technically I guess sometimes we will sign zero star players. And then after their senior season they become five star players. But we would not refer to them as five star players but instead refer to them as 0 star players?

Retarded.

Retarded? Indeed you are. Cam Newton was recruited, be and committed, as a three star: signed as a five. Yes, he should count as a five star. But in talking about recruitment, he was recruited as a three star.

Almost all the kids that are recruited are recruited as zero stars. Because they were recruited prior to being ranked by Rivals. If I remember correctly, rivals’ first ranking is not until their junior year. They don’t even offer five stars until the end of their junior season. What’s your point?

 

[Great White Buffalo]

Scout doesn't exist anymore because they were bought by 247. You were wrong, it happens. No need to get bent out of shape about it, puddin.

His name should be Ancient Concrete.

He really, truly still believes his fvkkingn make believe math about Butters offense being great and that the 3 star FIU recruits are the same as Brandon Spikes and the Pounceys for whom we fought Clown Town and Bammer. You know, bc Spikes was a 3 star once and Butters Specials were 3 stars (and barely 3 stars using rivals point system) they day they signed.

I thought the Powell to TE thing was an aberration.

Love the Thomas Sowell avatar!

 

[Blacklabgator]

I think people might be confusing the pounceys gang rating and football rating.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

At some point when everyone keeps saying one thing, but you keep saying the opposite, its time to consider you could be the one that's incorrect.

I will say that his commitment to arguing what a great job Butters is doing is quite impressive.

Lesser men would have quit long ago.

Enough about the Pouncey twins. They have moved on and so should you...

Butters would roll up in a rusted out El Camino with Nuss taking shotgun. Nord would be doing the worm in the truck bed....
