2018 Recruiting Thread

[ScottPatrick]

So the announcements coming up:

Calvin Avery 5:45 at Bishop Dunne
Marquez Beason 5:45 at Bishop Dunne (2019)
Tevailance Hunt 7:00 PM (twitter?)

 

[ScottPatrick]

Beason tweets his Top 12, no commit

 

[ScottPatrick]

Avery picks Illinois

 

[berryfrog95]

LOL....well, at least we're taking talent from KU to backfill

 

[Despite the odds Frog]

Avery picks Illinois

That hurts.

 

[Bizarro Frog]

If he picks Illinois there is a good chance he might change his mind or transfer back in a couple of years.

 

[RollToad]

You gotta be [ Finebaum ]ting me. What the scheiss?

 

[froglash88]

Did some of our so called fans, who post whatever they want, kill our Karma?

 

[ScottPatrick]

That hurts.

Yeah this week isn't turning out as big as expected but don't think it is over with Avery but having Myers in his ear constantly is going to make it tough.

Trout and Coburn still uncommitted but it is going to take a lot of effort to land either. Trout may be leaning TCU a little more than some may think though, but still Mizzery is the favorite.

Hunt announcing later and that at least looks all TCU.

this makes less sense than any of the other high profile recruits that TCU has lost in recent years. At least with A$M, the reasons are obvious.

Not sure that made any difference but sure didn't look good. I am blaming Putt regardless.....

 

[RollToad]

I didn't realize Illinois had a bag man*

I posted awhile back Illinois was in it a lot mare than anyone was giving them credit. Wish I was wrong but Lovie has great connections here in Texas and Hayes-Stoker is a very good recruiter. Wish he was back at TCU.

Well teaching him how to recruit bit us this time. Good for Illinois. Championships are made on the OL and DL... Come on TCU!!!

 

[Moose Stuff]

Bizarre decision IMO. Texas kids basically turning down all the regional powers to go to Illinois makes little sense to me. On to the next one.

Wants out of state and Nebraska/OU backed off months ago.

 

[TCU_backer]

You were kind of insinuating that the program was doing a [ crappy ] job of recruiting a few posts ago when you thought he had an offer. Now you're saying the program looks like [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] because someone else suggested he might not have an offer.

It sounds like maybe you don't have all of the facts and aren't in a great position to determine what is or isn't [ crappy ] about this situation. That's just what it sounds like to me though.

I want to make sure I am very specific here... "if it ever did." So TCU offers a kid, but a poster insinuates this... that is what I am saying.

 

[TCU_backer]

That's ridiculous. If you make an offer to a kid and he sits around for months and months waiting for other offers to come in, or for some reason doesn't want to take it, you're absolutely entitled to pull an offer when you see fit.

I'd never offer a kid and promise it would be available until signing day.

Look at the timeline and get back to me.

 

[Despite the odds Frog]

That was Lovie's and Illinois first 4 star recruit of his era and first for Illinois since 2015.

Brett Lemoine has a lot of work to do. Meaning Texas universities need to keep Dallas kids in state than going to nowhere, Illinois. Starts with high school relations.

He explained after announcing that he felt the Illinois defense was a better fit for him, especially the play of the front 4. I get that a little but think CGP is even altering his play on the line the last few years.
