I was trying to add Hackett but it doesn't seem I can edit my first post.

Please give it a try now and see if you can edit that post on your own now.

Yep all good now, thanks.

watching how bad we are this year hope these kids stay committed , our D is embarrassing and the O put up 9 against Wake

I'm not. Everyone that commits knows that they will likely start immediately.

I wanted to note the rivals numeric ratings. This is where rivals manipulates rankings and where schools go up or down the recruiting lists. 10 three star kids with a 5.6 is going to be higher rated than 10 with a 5.5.

Here’s rvls current numeric ratings:

Jonathan Kingsley – 5.6
Current Rivals Rating: ***

Josh Palmer – 5.7
Current Rivals Rating: ***

Nadarius Fagan – 5.6
Current Rivals Rating: ***

Aaron Hackett – 5.4
Current Rivals Rating: **

Tommy Devito – 5.7
Current Rivals Rating: ***

Curtis Harper – 5.2
Current Rivals Rating: **

Kadeem Trotter – 5.6

5.7 is the high cutoff for ***, so those guys could end up **** with good senior seasons.

Devito is 5.7. OK yeah.

So, 2 more RB's in the fold - who's left?

We can't have many more openings remaining, wonder who/what the priorities are?

Stritzinger i remember was listed at RB but i wonder if he will be moved to DB

 

[Trueblue25]

DB's and DE's

We might also take more than 22 with the expectation that we lose a couple flips and/or roster attrition.

I don't think there's any doubt at this point we're taking 25 kids plus any Jan enrollees we can get.

Austin Wilson just announced he's not returning, to go with Ginneti this week.

"Babers said on Monday that final decisions regarding redshirt juniors will be made after the season. There are five others on roster: corernback Corey Winfield, offensive tackle Jamar McGloster, safety Chauncey Scissum, inside receiver Sean Avant and lineabcker Alryk Perry.

Of these, only Winfield is a lock to be back though I expect McGloster to be back.

I still have two more on the 'might transfer' list. Don't really expect any others.

Since Ginnetti was never taken by SU that is a surprise.

I know you meant Giudice.

 

[upperdeck]

since we played so few other people this year at the WR spot whose to know how Avant has looked. didnt he play a bit early in the year and make a catch or 2? look at Cornelius? never really played and then looked Ok when he got out there.

Avant has decent hands but he is slow and doesnt fit this scheme. He is overweight too. I think he's around 215. He might be out, also wonder if Enoicy sticks around? I know he's a redshirt sophomore but he hasnt played. He is an academic kid. I wonder how close he is from graduating?

 

[cusefan88]

Seems like quite a few players will be moving on. I would guess Avant, Scissum, and Perry leave.

If they do, best of luck in their next schools

 

[money3189]

I can tell you know, Chauncey doesn't plan to leave. Now rather its up to him, I don't know.

Morton upgraded to 3 stars at Rivals.

 

[Orijinal]

Morton upgraded to 3 stars at Rivals.

Star rankings seem to be pretty bleak on R...ls. Eight 3 stars, and one of those might not even qualify this year: Kingsley

 

[upperdeck]

still 34th on espn. they seem to like the whole clas.

Not sure what Rivals deal is - Skout has made 4 or 5 upgrades to our recruits in recent weeks.

Rivals is notoriously awful at revisiting our recruits. Pretty much if another school doesn't come in and offer late, our recruits fall into a black hole of being ignored.

 

[Deano]

This week is turning out to be a pretty decent recruiting week. Three nice JUCO pick-ups and one grad transfer. Let's keep the train rolling.

 

[tep624]

I won't add Berry to this list until he officially commits on his visit 1/27. As of right now he "intends" to commit on the visit but it's not official.

Just a little behind on recruiting this year...Berry who? lol

If you go to the upper right hand corner of the page there is a search box. That may be a quicker way for you to get caught up on recruiting.
