CFB OTL: National Signing Day Week Thread
by Samuel_L_Bronkowitz on Jan 24, 2012 1:01 PM CST
Email
PrintIt's been 2 weeks since the Tide rolled in New Orleans and a lot has happened since that may have gone unnoticed.
Coach Kelly from Oregon supposedly interviewed with the Bucs.
Tressel "The Vest" supposedly interviewed with the Colts.
And your mom.
This is the (un)official annual CFB Rumor Thread for College Football's craziest day of the year before Spring Practices begin: National Signing Day, February 1st, 2012. Lot's of drama has happened on this day. Who can forget Corey Nelson stabbing A&M in the back at the deadline to go to OU? Cam Newton turning down Mississippi State Money for Auburn Money? And many more.....
Talk it up, trash on others' teams, throw tweets out, make fun of my Aggies(it's ok. I can handle it. FP can't.), and above all.......
RABBLE ON!!!!
PS - rec this puppy up. There's no way NBA Threads should be getting this much love over CFB. You know this.

As bad as this sucked, I'd rather him have left now than during Fall Practice.
Some of the out-of-state shockers end up getting homesick, eg Lavelle Hawkins for LSU a few years ago.
Unfortunately, Kiel’s little game also cost us Patrick Miller since we didn’t have a spring schollie available for him.

Still nervous about Trey Williams
even though he said he’s fully committed to A&M. Even so, A&M’s class will be vastly underrated I believe. Love me some Sumlin.

As much as I like Trey Williams
the area of recruiting most important for A&M’s move to the SEC are the linemen. This year’s class has some impressive skill players committed, but it’s still weak on linemen. Especially with the move to the 4-3, I’d like to see some big DTs committed.

Didn't OSU just snag one y'alls linemen?

really excited for what TCU's class looks like
easily the best they’ve ever had, and they’ve got a real shot at picking up another 1 or 2 big names in Blake and Fuller (moreso Blake, me thinks).
Top 20 class potentially, and that’s pretty remarkable for a team that’s situation was in so much flux throughout the recruiting period.
Greatest Inventions Ever? 1. TiVO, 2. Boobs, 3. Baseball
If you're referring to Shock Linwood
he decommitted and picked Baylor.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
He was WR for us, so even less of a loss.
People forget that after this year, we have Waymon James as a senior, and then just BJ Catalon and Ladarius Anthony, both high school seniors right now.
We lose a lot of depth after this season.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
Waymon James might be my favorite TCU back since LT
just dripping with NFL potential

Same here.
Which is why I’m so excited about BJ. He looks like a Waymon clone.

I'm so over his recruitment.
UT has strung him along this whole time, and right after he makes the proclamation that he’s solid to TCU, Mack sends Major, and now everything is gravy again?
The kid seems to want UT, no matter what.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
we will see
does he want to play DB or offense?

Him and his dad have openly said his future to the NFL is at CB
but ever since UT came in and offered him the gadget/slot spot, he’s more open to offense.
I don’t know how he’s going to get more than 5-7 touches a game with Brown/Bergeron/Gray back there, and no consistent passing game.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
yeah thats what i dont understand
on offense, you arent going to get touches at RB behind that group very often
same really for DB, you have some guys ahead of you that are pretty solid so its an uphill battle there
not sure how that compares to TCU’s CB situation

CB was one of our worst spots last year. He'd get PT there his true freshman year, almost guaranteed.
Patterson also promised him KO/PR duties. Don’t know if UT offered him the same, so I can’t compare.
He keeps saying they don’t know if the #’s will work, but UT just offered Santos last week over the phone, as well as some other out of state guys in the months prior when Daje was saying the same thing.
He really wants that offer.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
I don't think you're getting Fuller
And I’ve spoken with him a bit.
I’m not saying he told me it’s not happening, but you’re not the leader.

Yeah, I think he's going to Rutgers or Nebraska.
Curious, through what connections have you spoken with him? No flame, just honest question.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
I tweeted him last week about Baylor (I was actually the first to post that he had eliminated us, yay for me!)
And we got into a discussion on DMs about his experiences with recruiting. He sounds like a fantastic kid, so if you guys get him, congratulations for the player and the person.

Ah ok.
I really doubt he picks us at this point, but he’s a great kid from everything I’ve read and seen on him. A KF poster is apparently very close with the Fuller family and says you wouldn’t think anything different after you spend time with the family. All of them are stand up people.
I put him in the Reginald Davis category of kids I’ll root for, regardless of their college decision.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
For the record, I in no way tried to recruit him.
He has a closed account and posted his final five, so I tweeted to confirm that he had eliminated us. He said he had, and then DMed me to say that it was just a timing thing where Baylor got in too late and he had to go with the ones he knew more about.

Yeah, UF is the only school to worry about for him now, I believe
But he seems fairly well entrenched. He seems a bit concerned about competition, is the worry.
Eddie Goldman is the one recruit left that I’m really jonesing for. Our D-Line would be so sick-nasty if we landed Goldman.
2 five-star DE’s and a four-star DE + a five-star DT and four-star DT [to couple with our Freshman All-American DT (formerly 5-star),
Absurd
why do you say that?
i’ll be a sad panda if that’s true.

Yeah, and FSU's SBN site has some guys pretty cued in on recruiting
And they are fairly positive. Unlike some, they don’t homer-report this stuff—they tend to be right.
Love me some Rivals.
Kid starts for 3 years, leads the team in tackles for 2. No Rivals profile. Finally gets a D1 on him, and all the sudden he’s on their website with a profile and a ranking. To add to it, his DT teammate is a 3 star recruit on Rivals, so if they’ve seen him play, they’ve seen the LB play.

Curry
Some folks on Purple Menace were wondering if his TCU offer was legit.
I was under the impression that the staff only took 1 DT (Hunt) and was done up the middle, unless someone like MEJ wanted to come aboard.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
He ended up at Houston, right?

Clemson is REALLY starting to recruit Texas, with Venables aboard now.
They’ve offered all 3 studs over @ Jesuit (Oliver/Gustafson/Mastrogiovanni), and others all around the state.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they snagged a TX kid or two this coming year.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
It's interesting how the country is growing smaller in the recruiting game
FSU is hitting Alabama and Texas harder than ever before
Yeah I noticed that too.
Funny, because FSU is a top choice option in arguably the best state for talent, and fewer competitors.
Seeing the battle for MEJ should tell you what other Texas schools go through every year, and that’s after UT snags 70% of their class by the end of March.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
300 D1 kids every year
but 12 D1 programs.
That’s before OU/OSU/KU/KSU/ISU/WV come in.

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
They get some of it depending on their conference payout.
They’ll have the money, don’t worry about it.

I am late to the thread
but I am excited about TCU and WVU coming to the conference. As far as football is concerned I think TCU and WVU isat least a small gain over A&M and Mizzou. My only question is how TCU holds up playing big boys every week. Looking forward to next year to see it play out.

As first reported by the Michigan football blog Tremendous and It’s Always Sunny in Detroit, Michigan commitment Kyle Kalis received numerous threats from Ohio State fans after he committed to play for the Wolverines this fall. In fact, the threats were explicit and incredibly brazen, with more than one fan chiming in to say they hoped the offensive lineman tore his ACL. Of course, there’s a reason why the hatred for Kalis was particularly fierce; he had previously committed to Ohio State before opening his future back up after the firing of Jim Tressel.

OSU appeared to get some good, underrated talent in this class.
But with A&M out of the division, anything less then the 3rd best recruiting class in the Big 12 and a top 20 class nationally is disappointing for a team that just won 12 games and the Fiesta Bowl. Yes, it was a solid class and yes Gundy and his staff has shown ability to find underrated talent. But it wasn’t the step forward that they needed this season.
success on the field isnt generally doesnt make much of an impact until 2,3 and 4 years later.
as always, a lot of other factors go into recruiting a high school recruit, but one could easily attribute a good portion of bama’s success in recruiting this class to our 09 championship. OSU will still probably get those bigger name recruits and start landing top 20-15 classes, but you will probably have to wait another year or two for that to happen.

I think that would worry me more than simply missing out…
I don't think they though RGIII would leave
until after it became clear that he was going to win the Heisman.

Even so.
Just skipping over a position because you think are set is a good way to miss out on quality talent.
I don't think they did that
I just think it was a lower priority. They assumed they would have RGIII for 1 more year, Florence for 2 years (who looks to be capable) and depth in Pettis. If you can add a guy you like, then sure, but 3 QB’s with experience and serious issues on defense meant they put their efforts elsewhere.

I'll rephrase that.
I think we had a list of guys we’d like to have had, but we never really went hard after the position. Briles believed that in 2012 he’d have RG3 (5th-year Senior), Florence (RS Junior), and Petty (RS Junior) on campus. From what I know of their actions, they (Briles and Montgomery) basically kick-started QB recruiting after the OU game when Robert leaving became a possibility and really started calling around after the season ended and Robert moved into the pole position for the Heisman. Then when he won the Heisman, they realized he was going to leave and started hitting it hard.
The real failure here is not to get someone better for 2012 because the guys we would have gone after were already gone by the time we really thought we’d need one. The failure was not getting someone in 2011 to help bridge the gap between Petty and either the 2012 or 2013 recruit.
Even still, I know they targeted a few guys early on and missed on all of them, so they basically punted on the position for 2012 until the process I just mentioned.
I know for a fact that they are selling playing time and DatHeisman hard in 2013 and it is apparently working. All three of our major QB targets are at least interested, though I don’t think we really have a chance with 2 of them, and I think we’ll pull the one Briles really wants.

He will be. He's a RS freshman this year.
So Briles believed he had a 5-4-3 for 2012 (which was probably reason to believe at that point), and the real failure was not having a 2 on campus to fill in the gap.

It is so hard in today's CFB world
to keep quality depth. Too many good programs around now. Guys transfer if they think they have a chance to play. Guys go to smaller schools so they can start right away. One guy going pro early or one guy leaving school and all the sudden you are short handed at a position.

I'm looking at our offer list for 2011 and that's where the real problem is.
We only offered 5 QBs in the entire class of 2011, plus an athlete we actually got and then lost to the MLB Draft in Tyrell Jenkins.
2011 was the real problem. We needed to do a better job that year.

I'm looking at this 2011 offer list and I don't remember us having a real shot with any of these guys.
JW Walsh committed early to Okie State and never wavered. Hundley took longer with UCLA, but we were never in it. Michael Brewer committed to Tech at one of their junior days and nobody heard a word from him again. Johnny Manziel was a relatively late offer as he blew up and then he went to A&M. Rivals shows an offer for Dexter Foreman, but I don’t think that’s actually true.

To add to this,
in early November, RGIII had boosted his stock to the point that people thought he could stick at QB in the NFL and would go in the 2nd round/maybe sneak into the first.

What was the reason people didn't think he would stick at QB?
Even last year he seemed much more natural at a pocket passing game than a few guys I can think of in recent drafts.
They saw the rushing stats and speed and thought he was a run first guy.
Also, his completion% was artificially boosted last year by all of the WR screens and short passes that they used [sometimes to the point of absurdity]. This year his yards per attempt was 10.7, the highest in the country. Last year he was at 7.7, 31st in Division1.

I don't think Briles was interested in someone that only had one year.
And that’s all Gilbert would have unless his petition for a medical redshirt goes through.
Plus he’d have to sit out a year.

Yeah, but this isn't a team that has suddenly started having success on the field.
This is the 4th straight year of 9 wins or more going 23-3 the last 2 seasons. This is also a team that is likely to have a down year in 2012 after so many loses.

They seem to do really well with o-lineman and receivers.
They will have some talent in those spots to work on. Some potential at defensive end and Barnett should help the interior. Blake Jackson is a really interesting option on offense.
but they havent been on the national stage like this before.
2010 – #13
2009 – unranked but receiving votes
2008 – #16
2007 – unranked
this year, OSU challenged for a national title. they were constantly mentioned in the national media. they were a main player in a BCS clusterfuck. they won one of the more hyped up BCS bowl games of the season. In a state dominated by OU, and in a conference dominated by UT, you cant really say that 9 wins will get you a top 15 recruiting class.
Not to mention, there are lot of other factors that go into it as well – the needs of the teams you recruit against, how good is your in-state class.
This was one of the first years where young recruits in the junior and freshman seasons are getting good looks at OSU and might be liking what they see. They will go to more OSU camps and get hands on training from OSU coaches and see OSU’s new facilities. These things take time, especially for a program like OSU. I really think OSU will start getting up there in recruiting, but you have to be patient.

They will never out-recruit OU and UT.
I have also probably overreacted so far considering we are still several days from signing day. Some commits from a couple of interested players could give them a big leap. It still seems like they got too caught up in their national hype which caused them to get some marginal interest from top recruits from outside their traditional recruiting region. They focused too much on these recruits and not enough on the type of recruits from their region that has gotten them this far.
i wouldnt be too terribly worried if i were an OSU fan.
gundy has steadily increased wins over the past 4 years. the OSU might not be in the best place to pick up a top 5 recruiting class, but i could see a NC for OSU in the next few years, or at least be expecting to challenge for one over the next few years.

I pay for Rivals and 247 so I guess I will say Rivals.

Are the choices Scout/Rivals/247/Maxpreps?
I’m not as big of a fan of Rivals as I used to be because they’ve lost so many people. They don’t have near the breadth that they used to but they claim that they do. They do a fine job with the elite guys, but recruiting for most schools is about the guys in the middle and Rivals just doesn’t cover them like they used to. I like Brian Perroni (even though he’s a smarmy Ag), but that’s about it.
I’d say 247 and Scout are my two favorites, though Scout is slipping somewhat on football.
Maxpreps sucks. So does ESPN.

It's entirely possible.
I think I’ll go 247→Scout→Rivals, actually.
My opinion is probably highly affected by the fact that Baylor’s Rivals site sucks donkey balls. The Scout site used to be really good but has slipped lately. I’m tight with the guys that run the 247 site and I like their setup the best of the three.

i prefer rivals
but the fact of the matter is rivals, espn, scout, 247 all have their pros and cons. after all is said and done, i typically weight what they all have to say. Most of them are in harmony with the big name recruits – your goldmans, collins, DGBs of the world – but the difference usually comes through in the 4-star rankings.
Also, recruiting can be such a crapshoot i rarely pay attention to individual recruits ranking/star status. If you are landing a top 5 or 10 class, you are going to be in great shape.

Rankings and star status
have strong correlations with a player’s odds of becoming an All-American.
It’s a crap shoot, but the better you recruit, the better the odds, by significant amounts.
That's like saying when a .350 hitter is up at the plate, it's a crapshoot if they get a hit
it’s true, but it doesn’t change the fact that you prefer him to the .250 hitter.
Shit, SBNation just ate my comment because I responded to ASL
Short version: I wrote on ODB last week (very briefly) about how people dog the recruiting sites when they really shouldn’t. They cite all of the 2*s that end up great players or the 5*s that end up total busts, but for the most part, recruiting services are doing an incredibly difficult job and doing it well. They’re scouting thousands of recruits all over the country and ranking them in such a way that actually holds up for the most part once the players get to college.
The biggest mistake is that people correlate success far down the road with high school rankings. The worst example being the endless articles every year about where first round picks were ranked star-wise. People don’t seem to realize that player development and coaching plays such a big role at that point that their recruiting rankings are almost meaningless 3-4-5 years out when those kids are juniors and seniors in college.

To be fair,
Auburn should have pulled in two of them, but I don’t think we were ever getting all three just because of playing time. Seastrunk really, really wanted to go to Auburn but the coaches abruptly backed off because of the “recruiting service” scandal. I’m 90% sure he was a silent commit before that happened. Lee just went way overboard with his predictions, but he still had some credibility at the time.
This year, Jeff Lee has lost all credibility because his predictions have been complete dog shit.

But his biggest flop recently was the coordinator hires. He crowed for a week about Mark Stoops being the new DC and basically said it was a done deal. We hired Van Gorder. He spews way too much info just trying to scoop all the Auburn sites and ends up being wrong quite a bit.

SEC is ... wow.
With National Signing Day in a week, college coaches are feverishly trying to wrap up their classes and secure uncommitted prospects. That includes Florida’s Will Muschamp, who has taken one unusual step in trying to land Valdosta (Ga.) Lowndes athlete Josh Harvey-Clemons – going to church.
…
It created quite a stir when Florida’s coach showed up at church last month. "We gave everybody a heads up, and they were surprised to see [Muschamp]," Clemons said. "And the collection plate was equally surprised."

We sucked pretty bad and had some mediocre coaches. We also fired those coaches every 4-5 years.

its an ESPN Insider article but still
Baylor Bears
Since 2007, 15 wins as less talented team
Baylor’s success in upending teams with stockpiled talent can be largely credited to one superstar. Robert Griffin III was highly regarded for his athleticism when he was recruited, but he ended up in Waco in part because other power programs didn’t peg him as a future quarterback. This past season, his playmaking vaulted him to the pinnacle of individual honors in the sport, the Heisman Trophy, as he led Baylor to seven wins over teams with stronger overall team recruiting profiles.
Like Stanford, a step back will be expected after his departure and Baylor’s long-term outlook in the Big 12 will likely regress. Still, Baylor proved that one special player along with a handful of other motivated overachievers can make a huge difference

going up against the
SEC
bama, LSU, arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Auburn
Pac12
USC, Oregon
B1G
michigan, OSU, Nebraska, MSU, Wisconsin
definetly keeps the big12 in the running for best overall conference. will be interesting to see how TCU makes the transition too.

Agreed about TCU, though they are recruiting better now, too.
I’m more intrigued to see what would happen if Patterson got hired away [UT or OU].
I think that Sakerlina should probably go on that SEC list as well. I know they aren’t at the top of the elite, but I think they talent that they pull makes them a good bet to be a Top25 team more years than not.
Whither Tennekee?

What does Briles get paid?
Is Baylor considered his destination job?

If I remember correctly
he gets paid just south of $2 million. It was right in the same neighborhood as Sherman I believe.
$2.5 plus incentives.

Probably.
Some place like UT could offer him $LHN, I s’pose, but he isn’t exactly young, has ties to Baylor, and it wouldn’t surprise me if somebody like Drayton McLane [sugar daddy for Baylor’s new stadium] matched the offer.
He has connections to Baylor and wasn’t recruited away by Tech, another school he has ties to. I don’t think they would lose him to a mid-tier program like say…Clemson…or some such.

Fair enough.
I was just wondering if he was waiting on another school to open up or he had found his spot.
His state of Texas ties are insane so I wouldn’t imagine he would go out of state.
I imagine anyone can be bought but if Briles stays around BU is gonna be a pain in the ass in the Big 12 for a few years.

Your last sentence depends on who is doing the buying.
A&M could have probably done it this offseason if they’d offered enough. They tried, didn’t offer enough, and failed.

This is another reason why I think firing Sherman was a bad idea, it gave them less money to go after the top tier guys. Maybe Sumlin can evolve into one, but I think there’s still pretty clearly a good chance he’s equivalent to Sherman [though perhaps with better in game management].

I heard that we offered. Oh well. Sumlin has put together a decent staff. We’ll see he how he does.

I thought this a year ago, too.
I haven’t watched UH as closely, but the ability for Briles to adapt his offense every year while distilling down the scheme to a set of relatively simple plays that work well together is incredibly impressive to me. I still have some complaints [now that you’ve hired a real DC, hire a fucking ST coach for the love of everything good and right in this world], but I think he’s probably on par with Leach in terms of offensive genius.

Also, I read that someone tried to take him to a 21+ establishment and he wasn’t allowed in. Nice job, Mizzou. I think it’s between Oklahoma and Arkansas, and I think he’ll choose Arkansas. His brother has cancer and his gf attends Arky if I remember correctly, and those would both be major factors in his decision.
Oklahoma isn't even mentioned with him anymore.

Here are their 2011 stats
Completion %
Jones – 63.2
Wilson – 63.2
Completions-Attempts
Jones – 355-562
Wilson – 277-438
TD/INT
Jones – 29-15
Wilson – 24-6
Yards
Jones – 4463
Wilson – 3638
Obviously Jones has more yards and INT’s because he threw over 100 more times than Wilson. Obviously Landry’s decision making is a factor, but it’s not like he’s a terrible QB. I’d probably give Wilson a slight edge, and I don’t think either will be successful NFL QB’s, but there’s not really a huge difference between them. Also, DGB has to think about who his QB would be after the 2012 season. Drew Allen will likely be the 2013 starter for Oklahoma, and I’m not really sold on Blake Bell. Earlier in the seaon an OU player tweeted that Heupel had orignally wanted Allen to get most of the snaps inside the 10, but the idea was quickly nixed because they didn’t want to risk an injury to Allen. While Bell is highly regarded among OU fans, Allen is probably the better QB and he’s probably going to win the starting job in 2013.
I really don’t know much about the Arkansas QB scene after 2012, but I imagine Brandon Mitchell would take over. Either way, I think DGB will go to Arkansas.
i am sorry
but wilson is a much better QB.
wilson is very highly though of by a lot of people smarter than me.
not that im saying landry = shit. im not. but wilson is a way better QB, and arkansas is a better offense. not saying OU = shit there either.

Apparently DJ wont learn the playbook and some other issues. UT desparately needs offensive playmakers. There will be plenty of snaps if he can produce

I can't speak to the other issues.
He did average 6.8/rush and 8.8/reception so right around 7 yards every time he touched the ball. He obviously knows something about what he is supposed to be doing.

From what I hear
and I am sure not an insider, this is what frustrates the coaching staff so much. He wont do the things he needs to do and he just cant participate in much of the offense. The few plays he knows he is very dangerous. They just cant put him out there much.
I am not sure why he doesnt return kicks more. He is real good at that. There may be a reason but Mack doesnt call me very often and explain his decisions

If the kid really wants to play QB, Pachall has 2 more years, Brown has 3, and Boykins has 3 or 4. UCLA is a mess at QB.

Football recruiting not so cut and dried
True or false: The nation’s top-rated quarterback will never need to call a school. They’ll flock to him. He’ll have his choice of elite programs.
False. There’s local proof amid the words of Hueytown Parade All-American Jaboo Winston.
“The school I’d be committed to now over everyone else never offered,” Winston said. "I loved Texas. I grew up watching Vince Young.
Winston wouldn’t flip to Texas now even if the Longhorns wanted to add a second quarterback to their 2012 class.
“It’s about relationships,” he said. “I dreamed about Texas, but if they came with an offer now I couldn’t consider it. I don’t know those coaches and the time between now and signing day is not enough time to get to know them.”

i could give a pretty cocky answer here, but note that i am not going for that here.
i think its the competition. whether they believe it themselves or are just following the recruiting banter given to them, thats why the ones who do go to the SEC. its why AJ Green stayed in GA and Julio stayed at alabama. julio couldve gone to a texas tech or aj green couldve gone to a michigan. but both wanted to go up against the best defenses and play against the best defensive backs.
but i agree. if they wanted to boost their own stock and image, go to a playstation offense and catch 400 passes in a year. be that important star player that you might not be able to be in the SEC.

Marvin Bracy - WR, future FSU commit (I pray)

Sets world record for indoors 55m. 6.08s
World record outdoors is 6.00
Holy cow
“At first I thought he had false started while I was filming this and just wasn’t called on it with the jump he got on the field. After replaying my video at the meet in slow mo and frame by frame it can clearly be seen that Bracy begins to move the 3rd frame after the puff of smoke from the gun. Since my camera shoots at 30 frames a second, I would estimate around a .1 reaction(or anticipation) to the gun.”
There’s a chance he just got lucky, but jesus that reaction time.
The video is crazy.
If he did,
he is in the 99.9 percentile of reaction time for the human race according to some quick internet searches.

And then there are the contradictions within our own thought processes. A common one is the praising of a recruit’s character and goods sense3 based on nothing more than his choosing our school. When a recruit is up for grabs, we hope he makes the “right” choice, and if he doesn’t we’ll say: “If he wants to go there, he’s not the kind of kid we thought he was. Him and Rival U will be perfect for each other.” That’s how we do it. We want the kid until he doesn’t want us. Look, kid, you’re gonna do the hooking or you’re gonna get hooked. You’re either a Gator or you’re gator bait. A recruit who selects my school made a well-reasoned decision. If he selected Rival U then he’s been sweet-talked and I feel sorry for him, sorry that he fell for whatever lies and gifts they showered on him. I’m not sure I would want a kid so easily swayed, a kid of such flimsy character, playing for my team anyway.
If my team has a need at corner and a great in-state cornerback decides to go elsewhere, my response is: What’s wrong with these kids? Don’t they have computers? Can’t they see the depth chart? That other program must have given him a Lincoln Navigator and a bunch of gift cards to Chipotle! Yet when a guy who might have to wait a couple years to play commits to my school, that young man is a bastion of wisdom and foresight. Instead of being seduced by the siren song of immediate playing time, he has chosen his new home according to higher concerns. He liked the family atmosphere and the commitment to doing things the right way.

Fans aren't allowed to participate in the recruiting of a player, and generally aren't allowed to have any contact with a player at all on his OV.
Schools aren’t allowed to broadcast or publicize visits, and they are definitely not allowed to create welcoming committees for players arriving on campus.

the unfortunate thing is those are mostly secondary violations.

oh yeah they do. money is a problem at tennessee.
they just fired their mens football AD a few months ago and brought in one of our assistant ADs – Dave Hart to become their first “athletic director” (UT never has had an all encompassing, entire athletic programs director). its been a while since UT has had someone at the helm who actually cared about the university, and i think dooley is the right guy, but he is running out of time there. its really tough to recruit at tennessee. you really need some great out of state pipelines; the in-state talent is usually pretty weak. and thats been dooley’s biggest issue. he made a solid hire in getting sunseri from us, but we also took back one of the best recruiters in the country in lance thompson. if dooley can get the right kids, i think he will do fine. but they are not getting it done on the recruting trail. kids just dont want to go to UT as much as they used to.
