2020 Freshman 15: November Edition

View as article
That only works if we were able to count them towards 2018 and we took a pretty hefty class then too. The number thrown around has been 28. I assume the staff has a way to get there. Either way that’s only 6 more kids with a bunch still in play
i am not sure how to factor in teansfers but we did not take big classes of Hs kids in ‘18 or ‘19, i dont believe. ‘18 shows 23 kids on rovals but many were EEs some of whom counted back to ‘17.

you are right that manny’s transfers clouds the calculation.

Did you see how many linebackers we have signed already? We'll be fine also in the oline. We are definitely fine at receiver and CB will not be an issue
We have signed precisely ZERO linebackers already. You may be new at this.

as far as commitments go, we have 3. And we very much need st least 4. our go forward LB depth and quality is a huge roster flaw.

as for OL, LMAO. You sound like every fan who overrated everything our staffs have done the past 17 years. You types have been consisrently wrong. You have no basis to say we’ll be ‘fine’ everywhere.

we need a major roster upgrade if we want to play meaningful games in january.
 
Not name calling. Just calling your comment out for what it is. You can cry or not, not giving you emotional advice. But our program has stunk for ages and one of the reasons is because of the delusional view by too many associated with it that it doesn’t matter who we sign or don’t sign, because ... reasons.

Has zero to do with Hyppolite choosing Maryland. If he cant see for himself the U is the better fit for him honestly he dont belong here. If cant see Manny is turning the program around go enjoy weekly *** whoopins at Maryland.

Dude go play somewhere else your wasting your time.
 
We get Jalen Harrell 100%.

Diaz & Stroud need to hit a homerun on 12/13 & should be able to fight off Haggins for Jaylen Harrell.

Landing Douglas Emilien would be a great pickup by Stubbs, if he can keep the 3 we got & add Emilien that'll be a big + to his recruiting acumen.

I'm not gonna believe we get Francois until he signs on the dotted line.

The miss on Hyppolite is the most disappointing, don't care about Flowe not coming, I knew he wasn't for months. Diaz, Baker & Patke will have to work real hard to flip a Wakulla kid from FSU's grasp, but there's a clear issue with LB recruiting on this staff. Diaz should seriously consider hiring Devin Bush Sr as our LB coach because we can't keep missing this heavy on talented LB's.

I hope we get one of the JUCO CB's in either Ronald Williams or Jakorian Bennett, I don't mind the Davonte Brown take as long as he's accompanied with one of the JUCO's, because we need a game ready CB for depth next year, Brown is a developmental prospect that won't be ready for a year or two.

Overall this class can finish out good, just need to find a way to close on a 4-star LB.

Devin Bush Sr would be a huge upgrade over Patke.

I couldnt disagree more. Some version of your claim here has been uttered, muttered, and sputtered by delusional fans for 15+ years. It’s just crazy. The idea we shouldn’t want or care about recruits whose minds we have to change is an idea rooted in blind narcissistic failure. Sorry, it’s a terrible idea.

I have an opportunity to play in an aggressive defense that features linebackers or I can play in a defense that doesn't. I can play in front if my family or they can watch me on tv. I just watched two my seniors kick *** against Louisville or I can get my *** kicked every game and watch teams run the score up. It's that clear. If he cant make his mind up which option is better adios
 
Diaz already said they'll look over bringing in another Kicker in the Spring.

We don't have any open spots for this class to waste a scholly on a Kicker, much easier to find a Grad Tranfer kid or Walk-on during & after Spring once you have a few roster moves that will take place up until Fall of next year.


We havent had a full class in forever and we NEED A FUQIN KICKER

You are both emotional about a business topic, and bad at decision logic. You do not know the decision he will make, and yet you are presenting excuses for our impending recruiting fail here. We should recruit the heck out of him and should have done it better earlier. Our habit of chasing OOS pipe dreams over FL kids who can play at Miami has been one of the many reasons this program has stunk the past generation.
 
The guy has been invited to all the home games and I believe he's been to 5, the oos pipe dream has been to 1 game. I would say the prioritization of the guy is there. I'm not losing any sleep on a guy who could play at the U but choses Maryland. I've seen enough of their games to know the program is not turning around it's actually going backwards.

Doesn't sound like we've made him a priority.

We're too interested in chasing the guy literally everyone wants.
 
If I understand the new signing rules properly, it’s pretty a]essential we sign all we can count bsck to last cycle for early entrance, or we will struggle to get bsck to 85 any time soon.

you clearly don’t understand the rules then, I doubt we have any count backs because all the transfers count to our 25 total (Bolden, Phillips, Martin, Tate) etc. so there’s probably no space left in last years class

I have read we can take 27 this year...Even with this initial counters deal. So I don't know who is right
 
If they have a GT kicker who is good, okay. But as priorities go, it’s high on our list and I would have ZERO issue giving a schollie to it.

Re initial counters, we hsve room to count back for early entrants, so I do not believe we are near capped out. We took a small class last cycle and so e enrolled early. The august enrollees left us room for Dec.

we are capped out. It's been said on all the boards. We are taking 25 initial counters and MAYBE 1 more. Thats all the room we have.

What it sounds like and reality are two different things. The guy has been to 5 home games, free tickets from the staff. I would say he's been made a priority. Outside of an official visit how many games has he been to at Maryland???
 
Folks crowned manny for his portal use.

martin came and went. Traore eh. Kennedy haha. Martel not.

Phillips we’ll see. Hill, nnoruka ok. Bolden got it.

osborn, hedley, yes.

that is a lot of roster spits and new counters for a few years of overall contributions.
