New commit, DJ Brown, CB from Atlanta

Kaindoh to UMD... that one hurts.

That one is FAR from over. He will still take all officials and see how teams do in the fall (maryland is going to be awful). ND and PSU still in a very good spot here.

IMG Academy
Dylan Moses #1 RB
Joshua Kaindoh WDE

Few others at IMG already committed but a lot can change till 2017 signing day.

Wasn't Dylan Moses offered by LSU in 8th grade? Craziness.

I saw there was already a decommit.....for the 2019 class....kid was committed to Bama!!! Its insane anymore, they need to put an early signing period soon.

We still have a long way to signing day but what are the predictions on our final rankings #1-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-25? Biggest star we land? How many we take?

1) I say we land 14th best class
2) Wish it was Lamont Wade but see him going to OSU so my prediction is 3 years in row we land a top RB. 2017 D'Andre Swift
3) I think we take 22 players.

Looks like we need to start searching high and low for secondary help. ASAP

1) If we have good season, meaning at least 8 wins and Moorhead has offense showing a pulse again, 10-15 range, if not 20-25
2) we lead right now and family loves PSU, I would love to get Swift as well, but think he ends up down south unless he REALLY wants to play with hi cousin Webb, who I still think ends up a Lion
3) I'll say 18-20 right now unless they get some players too good to pass up with a good season and need to make some room

Not really, theya re 3 deep at safety and CB in 2019 already, you'll be adding 2 more classes of players between now and then, probably 2-3 CB and a safety or 2 in each class

Long break without any recruiting news @linebackeru can you give us anything?

 

[linebackeru]

Were a lot of visitors this weekend, Dotson announcing July 6 and was on campus this weekend. Lasch Bash coming up in mid July, will be the BIG weekend over the summer

 

[linebackeru]

Lasch Bash weekend is upon us, sounds like we could get some action early in the weekend and over the course of week expect at least a couple verbals. Can't stress enuogh how lucky we are to have a vocal leader in this class like Clifford. He has been doing a ton of recruiting behind the scenes....really taken a strong leadership role for the class

 

[linebackeru]

Sounds like Bash was big success. Expect 2 this week to pop and 1 early August as a result.

sounds like the fun will start Wednesday at 3PM

 

[linebackeru]

Sounds like it went even better than expected....Fitz, who usually won't put a CB in unless he's pretty sure, with a run of them for PSU

 

[Ritzarmy]

Little disappointed and concerned no one committed during the bash. I believe a lot of recruits are waiting to see the product on the field during the season before committing.

Several did, announcements coming starting Wednesday,....they want their moment to announce to public, but bash actually exceeded expectations for PSU. This class will have 3-6 more members by start of season, 2 more by end of this weekend. First one drops Wednesday at 3pm

 

[linebackeru]

There's the first one, 4 star LB from Greensboro Brelin Faison-Walden....stay tuned for the next couple weeks.....

 

[linebackeru]

Second from Bash is official Jonathan Sutherland, 4 star safety from VA (by way of Canada)

 

[Ritzarmy]

Third from Bash, 3/4 Star DB Derrek Pitts joins our secondary. Another nice defensive player.

 

[thehobocop]

Now that Pitts is on board, how does the class round out in the secondary? Already have 2 S (3 depending on what Faison-Walden plays) and a corner. Obviously Wade is always gonna be a take, assuming we're still in the drivers seat there. I'm guessing we would only take one more corner do you think it would be Castro-Fields or Donovan Johnson? Assuming we could get both obviously.
