Nice wrap-up, Joe. Thanks as always -
Lots of "first offer/early offer" kids in this story - which IMO is very encouraging. But. This brings up a new wrinkle to our ongoing convo about recruiting - specifically the notion of "star ratings resulting from offers" vs "offers resulting from star ratings". I know we have a history of offering guys who then immediately pop on everyone else's radar (and regularly get signed from under our noses - but this is not unique to the Good Guys, and has only become more common as the 757 has become more and more visible as a nat'l hotbed of football talent)...
I guess my question is for the 'crootin services. How can a player - in the '17 cycle - with offers from (among others) VT, OU, SCe and The PeniTENNtiary - be unranked in the 247 composite?? Or are the services just letting the coaches do the heavy lifting and reacting to their offers? I've always thought of the services as pro-active developers of information, a tool that fans (and some coaches, probably) can use to track their teams' targets and stay informed. But given CJF's (among other coaches') insistence on doing his own eval, combined with all the players we've offered early (or in many cases, first), why are we (as fans) sitting around waiting for 247 to catch up? Seems like there are like 20 people on this site (NOT counting TKP staffers) who break news/possible news before 247, the WWL etc.
So did I miss Luther Maddy?
Not over until the pen hits paper
41" is absolutely insane for a DL. The current top performer of all positions had a 41.5", and wide outs like Josh Doctson and Corey Coleman got 41" and 40.5" respectively.
I'm taking the latter.
Don't add to much to the board, just a devoted lurker and occasional meme poster. Glad to join your ranks once again!
Ahhhhh!!!!! My eyes!!!!!!
Y u do dis to my Sunday??
Has an offer from Bama, wouldn't hold your breath
I don't see anything wrong with this tweet, he is clearly talking about Bucky Hodges:
1 - He is from the 757 - that covers the #757Represent
2 - He wears the # 7 - that covers wears Mike Vick's number
3 - He was a QB that had his position changed in college, which made him a game changer at that level. That covers the reminds me of Kam
I'm sure some Hunter's out there will think this tweet was about some cruit out of the 757, that plays safety and wears the #7.......
Now I'm no compliance officer but to me Chuck clearly has his butt covered.
This is a strange year for WV recruits. I have seen multiple consecutive years that there might not be a single 3 star player in the state.
Locklear has a lot of top offers I'm surprised he's unranked right now
That would be awesome!!
Y'all deserve every bit of my $84.00 for all the hard work you guys put in here
Alex is doing his best to land an interview.
Or he mistook MV5 for TT. Or he just liked the damn picture when it came up on Google.
Based on comments of the coaches for the QBs battling for the starting job and the impending transfer of Kline, its all but confirmed at this point that he is a TE going forward. And he'll probably be an athletic one at that.
That has to be a top performer.
Dadi just had a 41" Vert
Yes it was made last year. Looks like the new coaches are sticking with it.
For reference:
When UVA's swords are orange (as in the TV photo), the background should be blue. It sure ain't blue in that picture.
Brailyn plays Nose Guard like a beast and moonlights as a kick returner.
We're his only Div 1 offer. All is right with the world.
Seeing this again reminds me how much I love Sam and Isaiah. These two are joining my short list of all time favorite Hokies. Both on and off field performance. Solid young men with a bright future.
I wish there was more to go on with Devon Hunter. I really hope we land him
Gosh, what are Fuente and Co. doing? Burn down the program. /s
