The Bank (10/16)

[DMoney]

It's been a while, so it's time to empty the recruiting notebook for the Bank. Let's go position-by-position:

- Luke Nickel (Alpharetta, GA) is locked in at quarterback and is having a good senior season. I continue to expect Miami to monitor the Portal and potentially add a proven signal caller.

- RB Girard Pringle (Seffner, FL) is committed and wowing the staff with his combination of speed, quickness and toughness. As we've been reporting, I don't see a second back in the...

Blount will get the redshirt but he could be valuable in the conference title game and playoffs as it won’t count toward the 4 games

but he’s got a bright future

@DMoney, what's their reasoning with McCoy? Great that he's that highly thought of but I also would've thought Francis is the unanimous best OL prospect we have.

Looks like our recruiting class doesn’t have extra fat to trim. Elite evaluations

@DMoney are any of our committed high school o-line prospects looking good?

People in the building are excited about his movement profile and athletic ability. He's taken to coaching and has a great attitude.

But in the end, yes, Mauigoa is the best draft prospect on the OL.

I'm not speaking for Danny here, but keep in mind the staff has a vested interest in getting a major development win in McCoy to sell in recruiting, which is where these guys' heads are at in all cases.

That recruiting update is ouch.

My first thought after reading as well. Best prospect would have a starting spot locked down and he's been on campus for a little while now. He wouldn't be backing up Ryan Rodriguez to open the season. Maybe things just started to click for him for all I know, but definitely caught me off guard

That sucks to hear about jaboree. Is he an early enrollee ? Can get him in and start getting rehab here. Lots of flips being talked about. That’s great and all but is always a risk to be counting on that

i think it will be the same thing with Bell as far as development to be used to reel in OL talent

I know some folks are not overly excited regarding the class considering we are undefeated and feel momentum should be alot higher..but would love to know who people feel we should move on from (except the OL class; we all agree that these are developmental guys BUT we all trust M&M)..Even our 3* kids are having good-great Sr years from what I have seen in the HS games thread. (Upshaw, Newton, Marcelin, and Merritt)

The name Isaiah Thomas wasn’t on my bingo card. Interesting

 

[OldhamA]

That recruiting update is ouch.

It does seem a weaker class than last year, but there's still time for Cristobal to work his magic.

 

[The U is back to work]

I figured there would be a lot more new names emerging seems we are just circling back on all those lost during the summer

I dont know if it was him or Dylan Day but on his ESD show last year Coach Hayes did a breakdown on one of their film and I had to do a double take because I was like, Whooooooo TF is that?????? Definitely didnt expect to see that high level of film for such an under the radar recruit. Again, cant remember if it was Thomas or Day but Ive heard if Thomas didnt get injured he would have been a high level 4* recruit with offers from everyone in the country so we will see.

 

[gacaneaddict]

That recruiting update is ouch.

Adding just Hanks and Pickett would give us a top 7 class. Carter would be a nice interior pickup, and Wiley maybe the biggest LB riser in America.

On the Isaiah Thomas front, he was offered by the BIG 3 in Florida before his injuries. I don't know how the injuries have affected him, but this is a bigger framed safety that show real ability prior to all the injuries.

Nah, if he is that good just play him because he won’t be here long enough for us to utilize that RS.

Agreed. I love the hype and the fact they’re happy with McCoy, but let’s be real lol. Also Mario’s comments this week that Bell will play even with Rivers coming back…my question is where exactly?
