Very good SU recruiting article from Nolan

[orangepassion]

OE posted it, but surprise no other mention of it. Basically sums up everything-More in that article than the new SU scout writer has written about recruiting since he started. Can't believe I'm still stuck paying for that. The Rivals writer does a heck of a lot more.

Based on the info. in the article,I'd give Neal a slot if he wants to commit soon.
Thanks, Nolan

while some are not too high on what might be coming in next year, I still think that the two TE, the QB,the MLB, and two of OL are as good as anyone we have brought in at those spots in years. there are 2-3 reaches but most are pretty solid guys regardless of the lack of reviews they might be getting on the sites. no 5 star WOW impact player but still lots to like.

I feel it's a solid class. A lot of needs addressed - but it all comes down to how the staff finishes. You add Wayne Morgan and a high profile player like Akeel Lynch or David Perkins, along with a solid DE, and you're looking at a really good class. I just wish at least one of the sites would evaluate the entire class.

We're still in it for Bryan Cox Jr? If that's true, fantastic. Kid has some big time offers.

I don't think there's any question about Neal's abilities. But we have a young LB corps to begin with, and are already bringing in 5 LBs, so it's more about how many scholies we can afford to invest in one position.

several of the HS commits are in danger of not qualifying - first I have heard of that and pretty surprised as these kids were all billed as team leader/captain types - usually those kids have their together and make sure they have their grades in order. If that's the case they should be grabbing a couple of extra commits if high quality players are interested - think it's too early in the process to be telling kids the class is full and don't bother visiting.

not to mention if they don't that opens up scholie's.. Just a lot of weird information out there about us closing up 2012 - but also worried kids won't qualify, while other big time prospects are hanging around on the periphery... Not sure what to believe

Really surprised to hear about Palmer. I remember a lot of people saying he may not be worth a 1A scholarship. Promising about the OLine.

I recall that when Pancho Barnwell verbaled it was noted in an article by Nolan that he had academic issues. He might be one of the non-qualifyers.

Hopefully the staff already knows who's on the bubble, and has made alternate arrangements.

Might explain why we're taking more kids than we appear to have room for. The numbers always work out in the end.

Bryan Cox, Jr. looks exactly like Gucci Mane. We need to lock this kid up.

 

[Upstate]

I really hope the one on the bottom is Mr. Mane and not Cox.

I would imagine we will have a few guys at Milford.

Someone mentioned Pancho had his test score but needs to work on his average.
