2021 National Signing Day Thread

[Frozen]

Wow. Prince is playing OL?

I thought that was The Weeknd.

 

[MikeSU02]

Lol. My son is almost 40... You're almost a millennial!

You got me, you got me.

I got a 10 year old and 8 year old, it's the only reason I know some of the new rap artists.

My jams are Tribe Called Quest and the like. I have a guilty pleasure of Jimmy Buffett (seen him 5x).

Haha.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Yeah, us old guys don't have a clue who that is. I immediately went here:

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath that there will be a Sweet Baby James cover for our recruits anytime soon.

 

[007]

Ha, listen, I'm with you. I'm 41.

Yeah Mike, 41, that's ancient.

 

[MikeSU02]

Yeah Mike, 41, that's ancient.

To my kids it is, haha.

I hear you. I turn 50 this year and have no clue who these rappers are. Than again, I am an old metal-head.

All of "our" music is old, my friend. It's up to us to Teach Our Children (CSN&Y hat tip) about our music. My 19 year old likes Sinatra, Fleetwod Mac, and ABBA (my guilty pleasure!) and my 22 year old is a huge Rush fan along with the Beatles. But they've introduced me to some pretty cool music, too. It's a fun two-way street!
(And we ALL love Hamilton! But that's another story...)

Not to hijack the thread, but you would be right around the age to be one of the first big fans of Headbangers Ball on MTV, yes? My older brother would babysit me and we'd watch video after video. I think I was the only Pre-Schooler who could tell you who Dave Mustaine was.

Also, Fred Coury went to the same high school as I did (dude from Cinderella).

FIFY.

 

[qdawgg]

... unless... we already have the OLine coach teed up, and it’s just not “official” yet.

But yeah - this was a great pull, regardless.

He said, “pull”...

They have great taste in music. My 18 year old has introduced me to Bon Iver and Eden. He's also had me listen to Car Seat Headrest, which I'd argue is not the name of a band, if I wasn't a fan of Toad the Wet Sprocket!

Have you introduced them to a niche 80's band by the name of Tokyo Red?!

FIFY.

Signing day thread not a singing day thread.

 

[RandomGuy]

That is true. At least 'no way he should answer that'.

I assume we will all know who the new coach is soon. Probably tomorrow. Seems these things are often decided before signing day, but not announced until the day after, so recruiting is not affected.

Thats my guess, too. I would assume he spoke with the new oline coach, unless Babers convinced him without having one.

I was friends with Tommy Kiefer's sister Joanie. We went to college together.

With these latest signings, can anyone tell me where we'll land in terms of overall class rankings and our ACC rank?

I honestly don't know.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

With these latest signings, can anyone tell me where we'll land in terms of overall class rankings and our ACC rank?

I honestly don't know.

I'd imagine near the bottom of the ACC per usual. From those in the know, it may be Dino's best class yet, but it's not like he's pulling in multiple 4 stars. I don't know of the ceiling of the class has improved, but the bottom seems to have.

 

[qdawgg]

Not to be greedy, great day. This is probably the end of the signing day news today unless there’s a secret kid out there somewhere. Which is always possible.

I suspect we will be on par with recent years. Our biggest improvement seems to be on the lines, but unless you have a can't miss recruit, these are hard to grade out (see Q.White) so we will have to see. But I like what we got...we addressed needs. Now I hope it pans out!

 

[All4SU]

I’m curious to see that too. But regardless of rank. I believe this is our best overall class in 20 years.

I only looked at the overview but ESPN had us at 12/14 in ACC. However they mention Justin Lamson but not Garrett Shrader. So...

 

[RandomGuy]

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath that there will be a Sweet Baby James cover for our recruits anytime soon.

I mean, James Taylor and the term bada$$, have never been synonymous. Thats only for competitive knitting.

My kids listen to some new rap, but almost every time they come home from a work out, I hear Immigrant Song, or Hendrix's Watchtower.

They introduced my wife and I to the Doom Eternal soundtrack- from a video game. Fantastic aggressive work out music.

Hey, they just haven't heard Steamroller live!

Ahh yes, loved Headbangers Ball. Sadly, Metal/Hard Rock are not as popular as they used to be.

 

[RandomGuy]

I mean, I thought about running through a wall, but I had a Chai and cried about my feelings instead. Lol.

Joe Walsh kinda made me want to get pickled drunk, but thats his thing.

 

[RandomGuy]

12th ranked class in the ACC. Under Babers we've ranked 10th, 11th, or 12th.
