Weather may prevent some other visits.

We'll get some, nothing to panic over. Like I said ,if we get Riley, Cooper, and especially Rollins this year we will be doing darn good. We also have a couple others looking too. Next year and the next will be our big year for recruits here.

 

[djorange1989]

The staff is doing well in a short time. Next year will really be exciting

 

[Moontan]

If weather messes everything up the next two weekends, don't be surprised to see commits without visits.
It would be strange... but possible.

I think it more likely kids visit on/after NSD to make sure and sign LOis on campus (assuming that's legal)

Not sure about the signing on campus part, but I agree with the general idea.
The only question is: are OVs allowed after NSD?

NSD just signals the first date that LOIs are allowed to be signed, err, submitted/accepted. Some wait a day or two, but most sign on that date.

The signing period runs for two months, from Feb 3 to Apr 1.

I know kids can sign later, but can they take OVs after NSd?

Which is basically them saying "we don't care about what might be best for you"

 

[Cuse_Albs]

I have a good friend who is a DeMatha grad that says Turner was without a doubt the best player on DeMatha this year, and that he is one of 4 UMD DeMatha commits. DJ also loves Maryland, and likes the new coaches, so take it as you will. My friend believes he will stay with UMD but says he definitely wouldn't rule the Cuse out just yet.

Here's the video of his injury. Hate to see this happen to a kid early in their senior season. Gruesome injury.

AET 2.0

AET 2.0

He has 24 catches for 294 yards and 1 TD in his career. Got hurt last year 3 games in and redshirted. 5’9, 206 pounds. Probably would play in the slot. Athlon had him as a preseason all conference player this week, which shows how awful the receivers are in the B1G.

I am not sure he is good enough for us to take. Pretty sure Dino is on record saying he will not take a transfer unless he is good enough to start for us. I question that with DJ. It would be one thing if he had a spring and summer to learn the SU system and go through the SU conditioning program. Coming in this late...probably does not make sense. Not for a guy with one year of eligibility left. Though if he could play this year and then again next year...

“He has 24 catches for 294 yards and 1 TD in his career. Got hurt last year 3 games in and redshirted. 5’0, 206 pounds.“
Sounds like nose tackle proportions!

Sorry, meant to type 5’9. There is something to be said for experience. He might contribute.

I think with Trishton not returning and Cam leaving, there is room for a transfer WR. Would prefer to see someone a bit more established, with more size. I see TJ as more of a slot guy. I think we need an outside WR more. Hoping things work out and we can add one in the next few days.

 

[PhatOrange]

Agreed. Our slot guys are good to go. This kid is not an upgrade
