Not every day VT gets to have a laugh at someone's expense on the recruiting trail.

VDay posted:In general scouting news, apparently Scout is going to have a major site redesign in the somewhat ambiguous near future. Their forums has a major hardware crash over the last week and just came back up a couple days ago. The party line from Scout's techs is that the site upgrades scheduled for after March Madness are being pushed up, and that Fox made very little investment in the time they owned Scout; basically some extra web servers but the network backbone is over ten years old. Fox pawned Scout off last month on some company that publishes magazines for male-focused enthusiast clubs, which is somehow not anything to do with porn or strip clubs. They are using Scout as a sort of web content management platform and probably bought Scout for their customer list more than anything. Doesn't exactly scream a big budget for a redesign. dirty shrimp money fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Feb 27, 2014 |

I really cant imagine a world where you cant get a half ok quarterback or WR and you are Florida. Maybe it is Muschamp and recruits smell a guy going down the tubes

It's less that the Gators are whiffing on talent (as much as this talent can be evaluated at the high school level) and more that the maturation of those players & the scheme being implemented is woefully incompetent compared to the Meyer/Spurrier eras.

Right, but it's never been due to a lack of talent recruiting. Jeff Driskel was the #1 QB coming out of high school lol

It's kind of lazy to just dismiss that as "missing" on recruits. Not saying that any UF fans here have, because you guys are pretty on the ball with this stuff.

It seems like the second we started leaking offensive coaches (Mullen, Gonzales, etc.), the offensive production just absolutely cratered. There was little offensive creativity with Addazio, and it seemed like there was an over-reliance on Tebow's athleticism in 2009. We didn't develop any athletes. The O became one-dimensional, player development stagnated, and then Cheeseburger Charlie finished it off with two in the chest, one in the head. Maybe it's comeuppance for all the late 90's RUTS.

The Louisville recruit who allegedly knocked up his 14-year-old cousin was merely engaged in "experimental activity", according to his lawyer. I am surprised it never occurred to Bobby Petrino to use that line.

Former Texas Tech QB Michael Brewer is visiting VT as a potential transfer spot. Loeffler really wants another experienced body in camp this summer apparently. Not our usual MO so hey I dunno could be good.

Nebraska nabs twin 4* DT's Carlos and Khalil Davis. 2014 class is going to be seriously legit. Already 6 4 stars, more than they had for this batch that just signed. Currently ranked number 10 on Rivals.

Is he more of a pocket passer or dual threat? What are we looking at here, I've never heard of the guy---though that's not saying much.

Dead Pressed posted:Is he more of a pocket passer or dual threat? What are we looking at here, I've never heard of the guy---though that's not saying much. He was rated as the #3 Dual Threat QB in his class, 1 ahead of Manziel and 1 behind Mariotta. He's not incredibly fast, but has a good arm. It's a shame that he hurt his back, but he did it while wake-boarding and then lied about how it happened. I'm not sure what went on in the locker room this year, but he could never really catch up with where Webb and Mayfield had gotten and there wasn't enough practice time to go around to get him there. Did lose a bit of respect for him in airing out his problems with the college transfer system in the media, especially considering that he was given a more open release than most players get (at first it was not in conference, not in Texas, but that was changed to not in conference), but otherwise he was a good teammate.

Iowa got a commitment from twin offensive linemen, who I can only hope will one day switch places to confuse the referee and allow one to sneak up and hit Cain Kolter with a steel chair.

They can't both be on the field at the same time. Otherwise how will the other one run on the field right after his brother got put on his back, then proceed to singlehandedly take on the entire pass rush, knocking defenders down one by one at a furious pace

Baylor picked up a commit from 4* athlete Louis Brown. He apparently plays all over the place for his high school, but I'm hearing that we want him on the D-line.

Are there team rankings for 2015 recruit names yet? Because holy poo poo you guys, Equanimeous St. Brown pretty much guarantees whichever school gets him a top 3 finish. He'd have like a 0.9998 name composite score on 247, and only because some random blogger wouldn't give him that 5th star. In actual news, been hearing more and more that Josh Rosen committing to UCLA is basically the worst kept secret in recruiting right now, which makes me extremely happy. We're doing really well with a bunch of elite 2015 guys and apparently (your usual recruiting information pinches of salt apply) have another two silent commitments in the wings just waiting to announce. Is it football season yet.

There are already secret commitments and secret visitors for 2015! Come pay your money to speculate who they are! Marvel at why they never magically appear on signing day!

FINALLY! I've been waiting to post something for a while, but I promised myself that I wouldn't post about recruits unless they were committed and solid. None of this rumor or message board stuff. Well, I can finally post about Jarrett Stidham, Rivals #1 Dual Threat QB who committed to TTU today. Listed between 6'2" and 6'4", 190 lbs, 4*, in the top 50 on all 3 services, he is our highest rated HS recruit since the recruiting services started tracking this stuff, edging out Jace Amaro by 4 spots. I'm hoping that this is a bit of a watershed commitment for TTU as he's very well known from the camps and circuits and has already been working on recruiting others like Ryan Newsome. Tech's in good position with a few other high 4* players so there's a lot of excitement for how this class could shape up. We have 1 other player committed for 2015, Corey Dauphine, RB from Port Arthur who we ran across while scouting his highly recruited 2016 teammate Kameron Martin. 2015 will be a smaller class, ~20 players, focusing on HS DL and OL (3-4 each)

VT with 3 de-commits and it's only March. I'd be upset if 2 of the 3 weren't at DB because there's kids lined up around the corner to take those spots.

No one could possibly look Kingsbury in the eyes and say no to him, so I assume TTU is set to put together the best class in the country every year until he takes over the Patriots from Belichick. Or goes to Texas.

Kim Jong Il posted:Did you secretly hire Kyle Flood or something? I'm kinda OK with that because the commits are coming from pressure and that's not something VT used to have as a staff, they'd just twiddle their thumbs until NSD and hope it all worked out. I mean, they should still be keeping these kids but I think they're finally working these kids like a true staff does and sometimes that happens with an early commit. Both DBs are from Maryland/DC area which is just flake city anyway and not one of my favorite places to rely on for recruits. Losing a good DE annoys me but the two DBs, its really their loss and it drat near doesn't matter who VT lands because of Foster and Gray.

Texas finally wins a heads-up recruiting battle with A&M (also Oklahoma, Baylor, Ole Miss, and others) for safety Deshon Elliott. He's currently a 3-star but he's within a hair of a 4th. Not a huge splash or anything but we'll take recruiting victories where we can get them for the moment.
