2021 Recruiting Thread

[Eight]

Saw him last week and will see again tomorrow. Tall, skinny, very protectable. 87-93 with signs of good CB/change up. In time he may be very good. Hasn't been pitching very long is my understanding.

can't really say how long he has pitched as anything i know is coming from the friend. do know they were really looking forward to their season this past spring and felt they had a legit shot at a state title.

son didn't play baseball so this is only based upon comments from friends, but i have been told the private league competition in that part of the gulf coast is very good.

i've always wondered which schools would benefit the most if kids were required to stay in their own backyards, i.e. 50 miles or less from their high schools...all three sports.

I think TCU would fare extremely well with the Southlakes, Arlingtons, and Dentons nearby.

Answer... Dana Holgorsen and the University of Houston Cougars...

if it was capped at 50 miles I’d think GA tech would be the biggest winner as UGA is 60 miles from Atlanta.

Love this kid...He’s dynamite waiting to go off. If HS football happens this year in Bama, this kid will quickly be a a 4 star we are fighting to keep.

Anyone notice that the 3 schools immediately rattled off (TCU, GATech, and UH) as benefitting on a 50 mile cap are all schools littered with 4 and 5 Stars in their backyards that they can’t keep at home?

The defend the backyard recruiting style of 80s and 90s doesn’t really work any longer. The world is a smaller place and they mostly want to go somewhere new.

Very valid observation. At 18 I wanted away from home.

Mack Brown doing it right now at UNC.

Your right...However, As it relates to recruiting, Mack Brown is almost an anomaly in every way.

Well UH with a definite handicap and GaTech has all those education requirements that get in the way. TCU should do better locally for sure but competing against big state schools is always going to be an issue.

 

[HToady]

if you look at states with strong high school programs, limited to a 50 mile cap Here are States with good programs and schools that would benefit:

Ohio -Ohio State
Pennsylvania - Penn State
Florida - UF and FSU
California - SC
Texas - Texas, TCU, SMU, Houston

States that suck:

Arkansas
Nebraska
Maryland
Oregon
Missouri

I don't know, what do you think?

Anyone with an Athletic subscription see the article about a new helmet shield that’s designed to help reduce Covid droplets that TCU has ordered?

I wasn’t sure if it included any pictures in the article. It was behind the paywall.

If you go to that Schutt Twitter page it’s full of videos and pics of players wearing the shields.

unc is also the school in that state, unc has had some very good seasons and a history of some great players, they have very good support for the program, mack had success there and established ties, and mack always has some very good recruiters on this staff.
