Central Mich. beat Purdue Saturday as well.

Gotta go with my Green & White Cats. Was a part of both the early 2000 games, now get to watch as a fan.

What happened there? OSU?

 

wasn't Michigan once his dream school? I know he decommitted and kids rarely re-commit but what caused them to fall out of the picture so abruptly?

To many to list, honestly.

Probably down to UK and Gators. He has a strong relationship with UF OL coach.

Coach Summers also ex UK OL coach. Coach for G. Brown at WW played for Ohio U when Coach Summer was there. Also, the same relationship Damien Harris HS Coach has to Florida.

Agreed. Can think Damien Harris for this one. Was told they tried a few different teams. PC was the only one on schedule that ESPN agreed with.

Forgive my ignorance, what is an OTA?

Organized Team Activities

The teams tech/fund will be better only in spots coach French. His boy and the guy from Boyle coaches. Rest guys the same.

If you don't think those guys have a handle on all spots, you are sadly mistaken. The other guys are gonna learn from one of the best. Its hard to learn from someone (last HC & DC, etc) who don't know anything.

Think 6 more Saturdays without CFB! If I counted right.

He's been hanging out with recent TOSU commits since he go there. Excited to see it on ESPNU.

This teams wins 6 games from coaching alone. Proper techniques and fundamentals will be taught under Larry. Sw is much much better than in the previous 2 years.

IMO: OSU is the school to beat. Just from talking to DH, that's impression I get. Although he won't come out and say it.

I expect SW to be much, much better. The new & correct scheme/technique alone will garner them more wins. Throw in French with the coaches he has brought with him. I also pick them to be a sleeper to win their district.

Some good rules to remember when dealing with DI-A and DI-AA college coaches...

 

1. They are almost all lying...non-stop...constantly. They lie to coaches, kids, and each other.

 

2. Feel free to embellish when speaking with them...most of them unusually susceptible to being hoodwinked...

 

3. DON'T run a 40 for them...EVER...unless you KNOW you can clock-in well. A bad 40 will follow a player to the corners of the recruiting earth. When it comes to them wanting to know how fast you are, always, always, say, "just look at the film".

 

4. It just takes one...When it comes to offers, the first is the hardest. Get a solid first offer, and the dam is broken and the rest will come easily. Most college coaches are essentially like jealous school girls, once they see one person is dating you, they all seem to want to jump on the bandwagon.

 

5. Camps are really just ways for them to pay their GA's and low level assistants extra money...when it comes to camps, they know exactly who they want to see in person, and very few of the campers there are those kids. I should say this; camps are the most critical piece for borderline-offer guys.

 

I know this is a VERY cynical post, but the college recruiting game is a nasty mother and you've got to treat it like such. For the 98% of kids who are not the 3-5 star guys, it's a real struggle.

I agree with your post, but I also disagree with some of it. Camps are a great way for the coaches to see the kid in person, how he moves etc. I played with and have coached kids who get offers because they did well at camps. In the end, you either can play or not, and the EYE in the SKY don't LIE.

As someone who was lucky enough to go through the recruiting process, and someone who has seen it from a HS coaches standpoint. Pick a SCHOOL, not a coach because good chance he won't be there when you are done.

Travis staying at AD?

Gilbert is a PLAY MAKER. I am okay with the Browns pick. They have another pick to pick up a player on OFF.

Highlands and Cov Catholic move to 5A has caused some upset 5A south teams. Interesting to see if anything changes.

What about Josh Jagger...? He has done a good job at LC, and now could come home..?

EDIT: Sorry I didn't read page 5. Josh would be a good hire I think.

Gonna be interesting. TOSU will be harder to best than fsu or bama..simply bc of distance.

Why didn't he play more as a freshmen? And I have his cousin on my team. Kid is going to be pretty dang good himself.

He got hurt against Southwestern his freshman year and was only about 75 % rest of year. He didn't play last 3 games in 11.

Was told Travis was main target. However, I could see him and Bobby back at Bc.

Without DK, AP plays don't matter. DK had huge game and no one expected that. That kid hit 3 or 4 huge shots down the stretch including Fts.

Dak Johnson won that game. Think coach cal is wrong. Ap played well but dj was a man.

Visit went well.

Alabama this weekend.

Would like an FSU offer? Intriguing.

 

Jimbo needs to call the kid.

Done!
