2018 Recruiting Thread - Part 2

And an ArDarius Washington CB to the Frogs (not from JC). Flip from LSU.

I'm maybe following this stuff a little too closely.

ArDarius Washington to TCU CB just came in. Would love to add him. Little dude can play.

No such thing as TOO much recruiting info.

But right before that CB there was one for Corbin to FSU. Corbin would be icing on the cake, but would also setup our RB situation nicely for the next few years.

What would he play? Returner?

DB for me. Worth noting I have no actual say in the matter.

Here is Washington’s hudl video. He hits some guys hard in this video. Lots of offensive highlights to give you some sense of the athleticism.

I have low expectations on him ending up at TCU.

Agreed, but with academic rumblings surrounding Franklin, it would be nice to have a second back.

Unless, of course, the coaches know there is nothing to worry about.

My take is that he probably has bad grades and MSU was a little iffy on him, but GP and co knew he could get them up in his last semester. He’s got until August to get his grades sorted after all.

Corbin would be fantastic - he and Franklin would be great together - but I’m geissing he’ll still end up at FSU

The need for another RB in this class is relevant no matter what the status of Franklin..We need two

I wouldn’t say NEED. We lose one, we add one, that would be OK. Two would be nice though.

Good thing I have too much time on my hands. Take time to take a look at the junior season highlights. Incredible!

 

[ShreveFrog]

Could Taye Barber move to RB? That’s what he played in high school. Looks like you’ve gotta be a super stud to get on the field at WR for us in future, as we are adding prime talent there, plus a chance at Chase, to go with Reagor, Manning, etc.

 

[Punter1]

Right now it looks like it's a 50/50 bet that we either get Corbin and Franklin or neither of them. Better have a Plan C and D.

I took a quick look and couldn't see a way to download some of the rankings to an excel spreadsheet, but it seems to me that skill players get much higher rankings than they should.

This comes from a comment on the 247 board that we are loaded with highly ranked skill players, but not as many in the trenches. But it seems that way for every school, right?

Assuming a normal distribution (and we can argue what a ranking really means, much like what MVP means - best player or most valuable) there should be 1 QB for every 22 players (so approx. 5 in the top 100) and 5 OL for every 22 (or approx. 23 in the top 100) and my guess is that it is nowhere near that.

I guess my point is that skill player rankings seem inflated and trench guys seem deflated. Just an observation, nothing about TCU specifically.

Trench players are mostly a developed position. Most stars for trenchers are simply built around their physical measurables because evaluating those guys is more difficult to do.
