pillsburysoldier posted:woo we got Asante Samuels Jr! If the UCLA/Miami/OSU number included #4 CB Olijiah Griffin he decommited from UCLA and named Tennessee his #1 yesterday. He had an OV to UT just before the dead period. He seems like a good player and all but who cares because his dad is Warren G!

To say every [decent] program cheats is an understatement. But KJI is right. The 'whales,' so to speak, are pretty limited. Everyone works within the resources they have if they're actually trying to be competitive. I thought about making a list of random things I know programs have "had no knowledge of happening," but the shortest way to sum up the bulk majority of things is that you should always look at the margins. It's how schools interact with the influencers in the kids lives. Not the kids themselves. The kids are usually kept in the dark aside from the ludicrous amounts of team apparel they're showered with.

The fact that Pruitt could feasibly pull in a Top 20 class is pretty amazing considering where this class was a few weeks ago.

There's also this: http://www.rockytopinsider.com/2018/01/03/vols-contention-another-highly-rated-2018-linebacker/ quote:Tennessee is already in on one highly-rated outside linebacker in the 2018 class. Now it appears they may be in on a second one. tldr; Walker has a great relationship with Pruitt and Sherrer was his recruiter at UGA, so things look good for UT. If we land both of them that would be the #2 and #3 OLBs in the country.

None of them have really been a surprise, but OU is closing strong with 3 highly rated defensive commitments in the last few days. They got a few days ago at the Under Armour game composite 4* OLB Nik Bonitto from St Thomas Aquinas in FL, which I believe is the first recruit we've ever got out of there. Earlier today at the Army All American Bowl composite 4* (Rivals 5*) CB Brendan "Bookie" Radley-Hiles. And then just now tonight they flipped composite 4* LB Deshaun White from Texas A&M. We're at 23 commits for the class (22 really as Jordan Austin is expected to go elsewhere), so only 2 possible spots remain. Remaining targets are 4* OG Tank Jenkins from AL, 4* LB Solomon Tuliaupupu from CA, 4* S Leon O'Neal from TX, and 3* DT Moro Ojomo from TX. I don't think theres anyone else we're really in on.

Hey guys, we have a lot of 3 star kids that all seem like they love football and want to try real hard so I'm looking forward to seeing them play football at my school I support. Oh hey we have some 4 star guys too that we are all really excited about. Cool. Anyway just a friendly check up from a normal school hovering around the top 25. Thanks.

No idea how that guy wasn't heard from before. Ohio State picks up 4* DE/DT Tyler Friday out of Don Bosco in NJ, who was a huge Michigan lean up until about a month ago. It's apparently expected that we have 3-4 more recruits coming this cycle, which seems impossible based on the sheer lack of attrition this year, but I guess that means we have some unannounced transfers still in the wings. 4* LBs Chris Oats and Jevontae Jean-Baptiste are still targets as are OTs Nick Petit-Frere and Rasheed Walker. Apparently Urban is also considering a 3rd RB which seems ridiculous given the depth there right now. Might be an intention to convert him to safety or slot there.

Reading up on him apparently this past year was his only real year playing and there have been worries about his grades (lol yeah like coaches give a gently caress about that) He was also more focused on track previously. Dude is faaaaast. Claims to be 4.43 40 but hasnt been officially timed. His tape is wicked. Some of the catches he makes over the top of defenders is unreal. e: heres the video https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5635071/5a15c30115f6331130aa1040

It's almost as if star ratings are arbitrary  But catching players off the radar is always the sign of a good recruiter

vyst posted:It's almost as if star ratings are arbitrary They're really not. The ROI on 4 and 5 star kids outweighs 2 and 3 and you can prove it either by who wins titles or just % of NFL draft picks (and it goes essentially in order). Nick Saban will win more games with Alabama's roster than he will with Colorado State's roster. As a fan of a program off the beaten path who became well known for taking nobodies and making them somebodies, the blue chips we manage to land do way more in the long run 95+% of the time. For every Duane Brown (2* TE to 1st round OT) or Kam Chancellor (0 FBS offers besides VT) that happened there were dozens just like them who did squat. Bluebloods don't maintain enough 2 and 3 star players on their rosters for fans to notice the overall gap between them and bluechip players. Your teams just hire lovely coaches now and then and the problem is inherently obvious at all these schools when you go 4-8. There's plenty of good coaches at lesser prestige schools who can't land the talent to accurately reflect their skills as a coach. Coaches like Beamer, Snyder, Ferentz are championship-caliber coaches but their inability to recruit and the hindrances caused from things like location will prevent that from being a reality. You guys bitched non-stop about Mac's recruiting but it was easily of a level to win a title, he just sucked poo poo as a coach and made bad hires.

vyst posted:It's almost as if star ratings are arbitrary I mean, to a point sure. The difference between a 3 and 4 Star is probably negligible. But this kid is different. He wasnt on anyones radar. He wasnt attending camps and was largely focused on track instead of football. Last year he didnt play much but this year he played and put up fantastic numbers and then recently started attending camps and people went ...oh! Interest is starting to increase for him, but Tennessee made an offer before His rating jumped so that meant a lot to him. Hes said hes gonna take a look at Auburn and Miami who have invited him for OVs. FSU has invited him but he doesnt seem interested.

Some 3s and 4s are close, but some are ridiculously far apart. Both ratings are really broad. I would say that for any individual prospect star rating doesn't necessarily mean all that much, but for a class star rating is incredibly telling.

Lot of smoke lately that Tennessee is going to flip current Alabama commit Quay Walker, who is a 4-star LB and the 3rd ranked OLB in 2018. Would be a huge get if that turns out to happen.
