2018 Recruiting Thread

Same happened to me last year. I punted cause pride kept me from asking like you did. Props to you.

Ps. I only use mobile so maybe that was my issue.

Same for me with mobile. Works just fine once you figure out where everything is.

Couple CB flips last night for Brule to TCU. JG one of them.

Getting Brule helps with chase, right?

I mean, brule is a take in his own right, but if it helps with chase, all the better.

Get the coffee ready, this is the last weekend before signing day and I believe that Monday begins a dead period.

It seems like coaches expect as much as 80% or commits to sign.

This class is very solid right now, with the chance to be great. Christmas come early boys.

Making the assumption that Chase is giving us an actual serious look then yes, adding Brule would help. How much? No idea.

Arguably the most exciting weekend of TCU football recruiting ever coming up this weekend (and the few days to follow).

Since then he has worked hard to fix this injustice! He can’t believe a receiver caught a pass against him period. He said, “The football is mine I own it and nobody is taking my ball from me!”

Actually surprised to see that. Seemed like from bits of info I read yesterday he was very open to other schools as well. Hopefully he signs early and we lock him in.

I also feel like the month and a half between the two signing periods could be crazy. I’m expecting a big majority of “committed” kids to sign early and basically anyone who doesn’t is uncommitted. So basically you’re almost starting over with a 6 week window, limited targets, and limited scholarships available. Has a chance to be some perverted combination of a feeding frenzy meets musical chairs.

IMO some of those guys don’t make a CB without some solid intel and some guys are just flinging crap against the wall to see what sticks in an attempt to be first.

I mentioned a while back that if I was making a list of potential transfers he’d be at the top of the list. Best of luck to him.

Would be surprised if he’s the only one.

It's crazy how many kids don't understand this. In my UTEP days we had a kid on an official visit and he was about to commit. Decided to get trashed on his visit and try to fight some other recruits. Sent home on the first flight the next morning and offer pulled. Just shows it takes a lot to get an offer but very little to take one away.

No doubt. And not trying to be a homer but I feel like JC tries to be as accurate as he can be.

With JG gone now I'm guessing he won't be submitting CB's?

Agree. JG not leaving until after 2nd signing day is my understanding.

I would imagine the thought is that you sign your core 3* and 4* guys then leave a few slots open to hopefully get a few elite guys or you sign some projects at the end.

After seeing Graham was transferring, I looked at our commits from 2016 on ESPN. Here is the list of 4 Star recruits and their contributions:

Austin Meyers: Expected to be in the 2-deep as an OT in 2018

Isaiah Graham: Transferred after barely playing

Ryan Parker: Never played

Isaiah Chambers: Never played

Tyree Horton: Never played

Sewo: Played some. Showing signs but has mostly been an average college running back so far

Taj Williams: Leading receiver in 2016. Went completely MIA in 2017 due to alleged bad practicing habits and attitude problems.

Ross Blacklock: Beast. Probably a future All American and high draft pick.

Just shows you what a giant crap shoot recruiting really is.

Is he going to Texas too?

Good advice pretty much any way you choose to interpret it.

Zola?
