New commit

Great News!!!!!
All the three stars we have in the 2015 class, that currently have offers from another school, de-comitted and chose another offer that they currently carry. We are left with only one three star that hold zero offers. However, he destroyed the Rivals camp last weekend and his recruiting is heating up. Hopefully a loser like Alabama or Michigan St. will come in and grab him. lol Early bird gets the worm. We had everyone locked up early last year and got out early on this class to SEE the 2015 kids. Recruiting has changed and at least half of our current commits will be 4*'s by signing day. FWIW my favorite recruit currently is PERRY. (3* with zero other offers) I'm truly thrilled that our coaches are out early and pulling kids. This is going to be a great class. We complain when we are not the first to offer, now we are reaching because we are in early? :/
BOWMAN ARCHIBALD Alabama
KEVIN FEDER Michigan St. (injured last season)
HAYDEN MAHONEY Boston College
Emonee Spence Auburn
RYAN FINES USF

Dude, send me some Kool Aide. I ran out last year during the VT game and can't find anymore. I am worried that we have no early stud like Darling to prop this class up.

Same style ...except now mixing in some well-worn phrases. Same modus operandi.....starting countless un-needed threads about any recruit's name he sees on Scout. If you suffered thru his time on Grassy ...you get to recognize him and his methods anywhere. Seeing him say that he's "not DBC" is like watching South Park and and laughing at " I'm not Butters ! I'm Captain Chaos.".
 
Most of these recruits will be 4* by signing day i believe

BOWMAN ARCHIBALD Alabama 4*
KEVIN FEDER Michigan St. (injured last season) 4*
HAYDEN MAHONEY Boston College 3*
Emonee Spence Auburn 4*
RYAN FINES USF 3*
LEEWARD BROWN USF 4*
CHARLES PERRY NONE 4*

Holy F*CKING sh*t are people still trying to argue that stupidity about 5 star success vs 3 star? At this point in the game its MEANINGLESS. Do you realize that many sites will basically hand a kid extra stars just based on who offers him? Correlation does not equal Causation here. If Alabama offers a 3 star, and all the sites make him a 4 star, and he goes on to have success, does that prove the hypothesis? NO, because most sites will MAKE him a 4 star simply because Alabama offered. The idea is that he may have a higher likelihood of succeeding because he was evaluated as worthy by one of the best staffs in the nation, and will have access to the best facilities and coaching in the game.

BUT.... what if Alabama already had all the commits they needed at the position? And DIDNT offer the same 3 star. Does that then mean he ISNT the same player with the same potential?

The fundemental problem with the "star *****" game is that stars are subjective, and often inflated for kids who get offers to big programs, or at least CLAIM them, and those who do the camp circuit. THEN you have the problem of it being WAY too early to obsess about stars. There are MANY kids who are going to fill out this summer, and explode next year. Kids NO ONE has heard of will be "cant miss" 4 stars by next January. This is ESPECIALLY true for OL and DL, positions where its VERY hard to project and evaluate, and a kid may not contribute until the get much older.

Bottom line, the time to really get concerned, is IF a kid has been to camps, has taken trips, has been evaluated, and STILL has offers from a few nobody schools late in their Senior year, THEN you can start to sweat. But remember Courtel Jenkins? Big ball of baby fat we recruited, when he was a nobody, and everyone said "who?" and whined about his offers. Fast forward one year later, kid got in shape, DOMINATED his senior year, DOMINATED in his all star game, was state champ, and suddenly Penn State, and Ohio State are burning up the phone lines to the kid. Had we not gotten on him early, we would have NEVER gotten him. Same with Njoku. We found him first, then suddenly Penn State is calling, and *** is paying the kid personal visits to his school. Even Bama was calling trying to get him down for a visit.

You snooze you lose. Does that mean every one of these kids will be a stud? no. Does every diamond in the rough become a shining star? Nope. Will all these kids blow up their senior years? Nope. But not all these kids are going to be signing here next Febrary either, regardless of the early commit. At WORSE they are placeholders, with plenty of time for us to nudge them elsewhere. At BEST we are getting in early on some studs that are going to be hot commodities in 9 months.
