2017 Recruiting Thread Part 1

Per Tarp at Gigem 247 on Haley

We have on pretty good faith that as of last night that he had not made up his mind from both the Texas and A&M side. That's evidenced by the lack of a decision today even though on the surface most things are weighing in A&M's favor (more stability, chance to work with Chavis again, etc.).

I chuckle each time I see stability as a selling point for A&M.

I don't really have a problem with schools pulling offers, it's the same as a decomit to me. 

I think There does need to be a deadline though, maybe after a certain date a school can no longer pull an offer. Probably later in the game like Jan 1st or something. Anything after Jan 1st is just stupid anyways, give the kids time to go look at other schools

I have a serious issue with schools pulling offers after a player is already committed.  Schools and the grown men (women?) who coach them need to be held to a higher standard than the kids they're trying to recruit.

Don't accept the commitment if you're not willing to have that kid sign an NLI on NSD - regardless of how shitty their Senior season might turn out.

Big fan of this coach now:

For West Brook head coach Kevin Flanigan, mistreatment of his players is a "one and you're done" violation for visiting recruiters."If a college comes in and offers you a scholarship and then rescinds that offer after you've committed, then that school will not be allowed back on the campus to talk to our football players," Flanigan said. "It's worked out OK for Alfred, but it's just bad business. It's a low character move in my opinion."

ULL's treatment of Beverly might have irreversibly ended ties with Beaumont's largest high school, which will send 13 players to the college ranks next year. After realignment takes effect in the fall, West Brook will be the area's only Class 6A school.

Flanigan said he called ULL's head coach for an explanation but never received one.

"I told their athletic director that, as far as I'm concerned, ULL can skip right on by West Brook," Flanigan said. "I don't want to see them and they better not come to my office."

IDK

Verbal commitments don't mean diddly until the NLI is signed and faxed in. Agree that the coaches should be respectful of a kid's predicament if he dumps him with short lead time prior to NSD. I like the way the West Brook HC is handling ULL, moving forward.

Somebody has to take a stand.

All on defense? I don't disagree but I think getting Little or another big time OL would be important as well. I've seen Okudah many times and he's fast as lightening but other than that I'd take another safety over him.

How would you list them MB?

Glad to see he overtook Shawn Robinson after a tremendous year. He deserves it

 

[drgilbert]

Looks like our QB problem should be solved for a few years. 🤘

We better hold on to this kid. He is going to be great.
