Last Nerve I: Head to Head against the Cards

[lindend]

First thread in a series of schools we thought were a recruiting joke, but folk aren't laughing anymore as they're serious competition.

Early in the year, people laughed as Bama raided the ville for portal WR Tyler Harrell. That seems to have lit a fire under their boosters and @Cribby warned us several months back that the ville was now throwing around big boy money. Since then, we've been a number of head to head battles and as these battles are increasing, I decided to capture all targets we're both after to see how serious a competitor they are:

Active Battles (2024)

Recruit	College	Comments
TJ Capers		Currently Comitted to the Cards
Daylen Russell

Recruit	College	Comments
Nathaniel "Ray Ray" Joseph	Miami

Madden Sanker	Cards	Openly recruited for the cards on his visit
Rueben Owens II	A&M	Flipped to Texas A&M from the Cards
Jayden Davis	Cincy	Flipped to Cincy from the Cards

Picked the Cards (Head to Head loss)

• Aaron Williams

Picked the Cards (Miami interest)

• William Fowles (commitable offer?)
• Rueben Owens II
• Madden Sanker (openly recruited for the cards on his visit)
• Stanquan Clark (commitable offer?)

Cards trying to poach

• Robbie Washington
• Bobby Washington

Canes trying to poach

• TBD (not easy to figure out who Mario is after)

Ray Ray is one that we won head to head.

My bad!!! How did I miss that. Thanks for the reminder. OP updated.

Did we earnestly go after Williams? Checked 247 site and we're not even listed in his schools of interest?

Yeah, at one point were perceived as one of his leaders.

Thanks for the info.

I forgot that @Cribby warned us UL was after Bain too. OP updated and UL is more of a problem than I thought once you start collecting all the facts.

The ATM (8/4)

Just got back from vacation and am still digging up stuff for a full-blown Bank. There will be plenty on the way with camp kicking off and the recruiting plan being set for the next phase of the calendar. Until then, here are a couple things to hold everyone over: - Last week on the Bank, I...

I keep telling y’all Hova is up there. They also have Stanford Samuels. Pete Thomas is the Cali connect and they have Steve Clark son’s son committed at QB. With that said, they’re not landing a south Florida kid Miami wants. Louisville is a non factor in our recruiting efforts. But, if you want them to live rent free in your head, that’s fine by me.

I know we were looking at Jayden Davis in the spring

Jayden Davis, Collins Hill , Safety

Cribby is saying we've got a legit battle with them to keep the twins.

Still waiting for the 2nd wave (formerly the Something Happening👀👀 thread)

that whole situation is confusing. i heard that Satterfield doesn’t even have full support and some on the money people want to make a run at Deion.

Like the million dollar man Ted Dibiase said, "Everyone has a price".

Louisville will never be on my radar. Sorry.

That's the rumor, but for now, he's recruiting SFL hard and has $$ behind him. Gotta believe Mario has a list of Lousiville recruits he'd like to flip though. Did we ever seriously recruit Owens? Since Baxter went to the Horns, Owens would be great option if their season implodes.

When putting together the OP, I didn't see any reports that we ever recruited him. I've seen comments that we never went after him. Do you know if he had an offer or something that said we were recruiting him?

AND them taking Rueben Owens II from Texas was a domino effect with us and Baxter, if Owens goes Texas Baxter is at Miami today

That's a real Kevin Bacon type of interconnection/chain of events scenario.

I'm thinking Baxter wanted to leave FL, you think he stays if Baxter went to Texas?
