2018 Recruiting Board/Thread

[MBHORNSFAN]

This is the "look at me" guy that we didn't really care to recruit correct?

When Sterns flipped that was a wrap..

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Could have probably used another year before leaving UT. Maturity doesn't grow on trees. Hope he's not falling into the "fail path" that so many have done.

Maybe from a football standpoint, but maturity isn’t something I worry about with Malik. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

The speculation was the money came from the signing bonus he received when he signed with the agency 

This is probably likely and not uncommon. 

 

[HORNfromETX]

So NSD is 2/7 correct?  Do any targets have announced plans to commit prior to NSD?  I think I read that the GT OL guys have until May to commit?  That will be painful to wait that long to find out if we have some OL coming in with game experience.

Anderson wants to make a choice by his birthday in March. I think it is March 25th. Tucker said he wanted to make a decision after he took a few visits.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

They are told to buy a car first year, of course, I don’t believe they are told to buy a Maserati. 

I would imagine that Malik has interviewed with a team or two and was told he will be their first pick. Don’t think he would have left unless he was going to be a top pick. 

Yoi can’t coach speed. You can improve quicks, but not the kind he has. 

You are right about not being able to coach the athleticism he possesses, but his instincts for the position will have to improve in short order for him to reach his true potential.

Per Mikev73 question yes it was O'Neil.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Rumors circulating that Leon O'Neal may have committed to Clemson.  If so, poor aggy.

If that offer is commitable he would be wise to take it. That’s just me though. 

 

[Bear19]

We offered O'Neil. Then we took commits from guys who were better. He took great offense and was basically told, "well,bye."

Believe you could see a guy or two make decisions prior. Anderson and Tucker can take their time since they don’t graduate until May.

Pretty much. Everything changed when Caden Sterns flipped from LSU.

I agree with Daniel 

 

[Slimer]

Have to think it is, Clemson has zero commits at Safety currently.

 

[Slimer]

So Okechukwu tweeted out we offered him.

 

[Texas2725]

So Okechukwu tweeted out we offered him.

Wonder if this is an indication that V. Jackson isn't coming?  

 

[Royal 60]

Anderson and Tucker signs -- Give Beck some major help ---- I'm down for 10 Win season and on our way to next step !!

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

So Okechukwu tweeted out we offered him.

will be interesting to see how the staff handles this. I wonder if he really could commit right now?

 

[Royal 60]

I'm told O'Neal has left am heading East !!

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Figured with Williams looking likely this offer was a no go. I said before I’d take Williams, Ojomo, and Okechukwu if they all want in. Maybe the staff will. 

 

[Slimer]

Yeah if they take him plus the other 5 we think we will get it wonder how that'll affect 2019 guys?  Of course we'll graduate several guys after next season so maybe not to much.  You can bet aggy will use that against us with Leal, Stripling, ect.

Not recruiting but some interesting stats
