tOfficial 2017 Recruiting Thread

[FSU rules]

Bama and OSU are at another level for 2017 recruiting. Saban and Urban are absolutely killing it right now.

Bama and OSU could get 20 of 30 5* in 2017. It's absolutely insane right now. As long as they coach they will dominate CFB.

Huge blow to LSU. This kid was destined to be a Tiger. Hell of a get for Bama.

I would not write him off for LSU. Nothing will be written in stone until LSU hires a coach. This may end up being a wild year for recruiting, with so many potential coaches being replaced.

Man, that would be wild if someone flipped him from Bama. You don't see that happen to often with these ultra-elite recruits. What sort of hire do you think it'd take to get the job done?

no idea, but most presumed he would end up at LSU. Right now there is too much uncertainty for that to happen. Once LSU gets a coach, than they become a viable option again. No idea if he flips, but I would be shocked if he didnt give the new staff the opportunity to recruit him.

I'd been seeing him get some Bama predictions this year before Miles was fired, but man, I can't imagine Miles was the reason he wanted to go there. Honestly, if he thought LSU was going to make a big splash with their hire, I don't see the reason to commit this early. Then again, who knows what's going on in the mind of a 17 year old.

He twittered that he's shutting his recruiting down and won't be taking anymore visits. Doesn't mean it's set in stone but it's something.

Yeah I know, Ohio State was supposed to be one of his officials

I hope he sticks to his word but, like you said, who the hell knows what's going on inside the mind of a 17 yr. old.

I'd say if he wants to be a successful OLB, he can't go wrong with the recent track record at LSU, Bama or OSU. They've all got studs at the position at the league.

Kid is going to the NFL if he goes to Weber State.

 

[BTSBuckeye]

That's the reality ....

If a kid is TRULY an elite talent, he's going to the NFL regardless. However certain positions have a better chance with elite talent around them.

If you're a RB, you're better off going someone that coaches good o-lines. WRs are better off going to schools with solid QB play ... etc etc. Defensive players tend to stand out more than offensive players regardless of the talent around them.

Nice, but I'd still have Bama and Ohio State higher given all their 5 stars.

Hoping Bama can keep Najee Harris...
Whoever gets Cam Akers is going to have a stud at rb also.

Is OU paying players again? What is going on?
