Recruiting 2020 Recruiting Thread: Gervon Dexter gets 5th Star on Rivals

[Swamp Donkey]

He’s the only reason Wingo is committed to us and he’ll be an ILB in college. He also got hopper and Black will be back

Or maybe he is only reason backers will not commit to us. They dont want to be coached by a GA.

I REALLY like Wingo. He could be a game changer, but Im just not sure it is at ILB. He looks like a RUSH to me and he is still playing that in hs afaik.

Black has never played ILB. Lil Reese has never played LB at all. Neither had Burney.

Burney is a cautionary tale of the "we will just transition of safety to linebacker to overcome for our poor recruiting" plan. He simply hasn't made the transition and is only useful as a third-and-long guy because of his cover skills. Now what? we literally have no other decent options.

And at this point Burney is large enough that Grantham is probably thinking about moving him to DL, as he has allegedly done for a little Reese. got to be careful when you get over 220.

it's not as easy as just saying well this guy weighs 210+ so let's move into linebacker. The reads and instincts are entirely different.

We really need a few of those angry, blockbusting guys who love to punish RBs again. Angry mean nast mofos, not finesse heavy safety types (that most teams play at Star). Just putting a guy inside because you can get him up to 210 lb doesn't make him a linebacker.

Hopper is the only guy that has a chance to move from outside to inside effectively. and he needs about 30-40 pounds on frame to be an effective SEC linebacker.

That's one guy out of two classes plus one that's getting ready to sign. Remember this when our run D continues to suck.

If Robinson had signed 6 guys perhaps that overlook the fact that he's a stinking azz dwag.

I know Twitter Black Caucus is for some reason invested in Robinson, but I don't get my inside sources from Twitter.

[-THE DUDE-]

Supposed to be a verbal for the 2020 class that’s all he said.

Only other tidbit so far is that this player is currently committed to another school. Gonna be later tonight or tomorrow

 

[The Lateral Move]

If the reports are true, he hasn't committed to UF because we haven't given the okay. I'm really hoping we land someone else.

We have to give the OK after having already offered him?

Genuine question as I don't know the details of recruiting

there are offers and committable offers. every school kicks out 100's of offers, but only a finite number are commtitable

So wheres the list of commitable offers as opposed to just offers?

It's crazy. Don't ask.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

It be supersecret. Probably on the wall in the bowels of the offices.

Some teams send out 200-300 "offers". Obviously only 25ish are commitable. They are more like those box valentines you gave to all the girls in elementary school.

We have about 25 offers to RBs this year. We obviously can't take that many. Some kids get the type of offer where they can commit on the spot. Others, have to wait. They are Plan C.

I actually found some REALLY old ones awhile back in the garage...........

 

[oxrageous]

Just checking in. The last guy that committed was.....what....two months ago?

Dan Millins doin work.

 

[Slevin]

3 star JUCO DT Justin Jackson says he’s canceling his OV and that we stopped communicating with him.

Gotta be a good sign for other guys (I hope)

4 Star Mark Britt 3 weeks ago.

4 Star OT 1 1/2 months ago

But like that song goes, it’s 2 months ago somewhere


Or something like that

Definitely a good sign. We’re not even keeping him at arm’s length, just in case. Just flat out hitting decline when he calls now and unfriending him on all social media. I like it.

Reasons CDM will never have an"elite" recruiting class.
(By elite, I mean top five; by never I mean not in the next five years.)

1) He doesn't have the skills or personality to be a closer;
2) His evaluations don't agree with the recruiting services';
3) He prefers coaches who coach and develop to coaches who recruit;
4) Except for a very few, he wants to see their senior film before they get a committable offer; and,
5) We don't have elite facilities.

So why don't you Astrologers get used to it or see that we get another coach?

No, he swings and misses on the top kids all year long, then he goes hunting the leftovers.

We wont have to wait long. He way survive going 0-3 vs Ugly, but 0-4 kils him.
