Recruiting 2019 NSD: 4* DE Khris Bogle and 4* CB Elam signs

[Swamp Donkey]

I know we've talked about Cross and Gant a lot, but I don't think there's any actual smoke on these two heading to us.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

There is a cbs sports interview in which he says that he is visiting Bama this weekend, then LSU, then Ole Miss. Also talks about recruiting for MSU. He is the guy I most wanted, but it doesn't seem likely.

I like him a lot but I haven't seen any evidence that he's ever really been in play for us.

I don't even know how bama could have room.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

It has happened. I am not sure if NLOI releases can have restrictions like transfer releases or not.

I think the no restrictions rule was the NCAA rule but only for grad transfers.

the conference can still have rules (for GT or undergrads) and the ncaa still allows teams to restrict undergrads if they want. of course there are still waivers.

I honestly don't get why cross is repeatedly brought up. There's never even been a hint of him having interest here.

Right, but the NCAA and the NLOI organization are different though the NCAA manages the day to day operations of the organization:

About the NLI

So of course NCAA rule changes do not change the NLOI rules, but the rules are set by similar groups with overlapping membership. That is why I said, I do not know if a school can only grant a general release from a NOLI or whether schools can restrict a NLOI release like they can with transfers rather grad or not.

He took an official vist to UF.

He took an official vist to UF.

But he hasn’t been interested since his commitment.

Dawand Jones, Ben Davis, Offensive Tackle

Law ought to like this one. Apparently we are trying to get him to OV.

Wow for such a big man, he moves very well. Reminds me of a former Gator that played for the Steelers. He pulls very well and pursues the play downfield. Can we get him away from OSU?

 

[leogator]

Chris Wilson, a JUCO safety, 6'1, 220 is available.

From what I’ve read our coaches don’t think he’s good enough...their evaluation is apparently much different than the top 100 ranking he has ‍

He did not look good in a game i saw on TV. (Actually the whole DeMatha team looked pretty bad as they were crushed by STA). Of course one game is not necessarily a true reflection....

Cross is fast but takes bad angles and isn’t very strong or willing to initiate contact he’s not a fit and honestly I’m surprised ppl want him on our roster tbqh

I never watched any film. It is obvious w us taking 5 CBs maybe 6, that the staff feels good about moving someone. Id rather have a light LB types (ie Matt Elam) but Grantham thinks we are in the Big 12 facing passing teams.

 

[JDW]

I watched a couple games cause I was intrigued and honestly he’s great on pass coverage but can’t take on the big bodies for whatever reason...hell do well in the ACC those guys don’t have an SEC schedule filled with big backs and WRs that insist on contact after a catch

How about the Big Ten? I suspect PSU will flip him.

 

[JDW]

Ohio state and PSU are the only teams built like SEC type teams so he should do ok the rest of the conference is either smaller guys like northwestern or Purdue or smash mouth teams like Wisconsin and MSU he’ll do ok there but won’t see the field for awhile

If cross sticks with f$u, I look forward to watching Perine and Pierce introduce themselves to him.

 

[JDW]

Oh yeah that’ll be a great intro I’m looking forward to as well

A lot of people like Diwun in a safety spot

 

[JDW]

Hopper played safety as well and is pretty fast
