I've seen Billy Gibson around...life probably doesn't end well for him.

I met Billy a few times. He was a good kid. He probably shouldn’t have came to UO. He was a G5 or even an FCS player. On stacked HS teams a lot of players become overrated unfortunately… Taggart also left a lot of those kids hanging especially the kids from Florida. The most productive player of all his Florida signees was the big DT that signed. Other than that most of those kids should not have signed with UO due to cultural and talent level fit.
 
Goulds - inquiring minds would like to know what trapping is. Thanks in advance

Oh really? I thought Jeudy was at Deerfield. I know Gibson went to Southridge. And as for you taking the baseball route, you did what was best for you. It’s hard but sometimes it’s going with the best program for you and not necessarily the big name school. Sounds like that’s what you did. You went with the sport that offered you more opportunities despite being talented in football.

***an and ***ot were two names we laughed about a lot. But I thought they both were high quality football players and should have been Canes. I'm with Lauder, I never saw much in Edwards. I did like CJ a lot, though, was super bummed when he flipped. Don't recall Terry, but almost anyone getting an Ivy League education ends up improving their station in life.

I was big on CJ too

Carter probably had the best career and definitely was a great citizen. Targetings aside he was the best.

I can't believe how excited I am to watch our current crop of 'Canes play this fall & how excited I am about this 2017 class. I'm not sure the future has ever been as bright.

I felt the same way 6 years ago coming off that bowl win vs WV. Crazy to think how much more optimistic things are right now.

Is Antwan related to Corey Collier?
 
All these reviews of past classes and there were tons of players that didn't do squat.

Little surprising all these South Florida non factors.

One thing to note is that these are pre-spring, pre-camp watch lists. If we did them closer to NSD, they would look a lot different. Players get exposed, develop late, get in trouble, and overall you just have a much clearer picture.
