Is that the Nebraska kid?

Yeah, sounds like he's getting pressure to commit to Nebraska from friends (and possibly family). We'll see.

Any of you watching signing day? So Far Ohio State looks good. Buckeyes are the first program since the espn 300 started to get the # 1 recruit in back to back years. Here's what they got so far.

# 1DE (# 1 player in the country) Jack Sawyer
# 1 rb TreVeyon Henderson
# 2 wr Emeka Egbuka
# 4 qb-pp Kyle McCord
# 2 OG Donovan Jackson

O-H-I-O...GO BUCKEYES!!!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I'm most interested to see who emerges from Stroud, Miller, McCord next year. I don't know if I like McCord speed.

The rest is a top heavy class with a focus on Ohio/Midwest guys for depth.

With this class and next its an embarrassment of riches at wr

Only complaint if forced to make one (and not so terrible) is would be nice to have a 5 star DB....but we've turned many a 4 star into NFL players.

Liking how the 2021 recruiting class is shaping up. And that community college in ann arbor not making a decision on Jimmy Jam's future will hurt them in recruiting. Which is a great thing.

I know Haskins wasnt/isn't fast but its interesting to have 3 guys in his mold. Will say Miller looked faster than his reported time though

Oregon really needs to take the next step. When you consider they have just about as many 4 and 5's as the entire conference not named USC....

2021 was always going to be the breakout year in my mind. 2020 was going to be alright but then we had most of the talented upper classmen opt out after the PAC 12 cancelled their season. 3 of out 4 starting DBs didn't play and Penei Sewell, arguably the best player in the country, didn't play. That put Oregon in a tough spot. The tricky thing will be roster management with everyone being granted another year but having so many talented young players who expect to play soon.

This kid is compared to Melvin Gordon

The return of Chris Olave sounds great, but it might create a logjam at wr, that some of the 2nd year receivers can't tolerate. Some are likely headed to the transfer portal. Julius Fleming did not look like the top recruit in the country last year and Gee Scott was either injured or had Covid almost every week.

Dickerson to Oregon. Oregon definitely got in that game late but it was a position of need for the 2021 class

Yup, he decommitted few weeks ago and writing was on the wall.

I don't have timeline memorized, but he decommitted shortly after visiting Oregon. Sucks for MN, but that's recruiting, I don't lose sleep over where an 18 year old decides to play

It's part of the recruiting game, especially with the upper tier recruits. It sucks but everyone goes through it.

yeah, and the his primary recruiter at MN is now on the Oregon staff, so he had connection to coach on staff.

It would've stung a little if he went to Nebraska (even though he's from NE), but like I said. We have another highly ranked DB from PAC-12 country coming in, MN still has a pretty good class. I think nationally ranked ~35 but 20-40 range is actually pretty tightly packed.

PJ Fleck has done a good job improve the quality of prospects that Minnesota is bringing in. You win some, you lose some. The recruiting is still heading in the right direction for Minnesota. And like you said, his primary recruiter is now on the Oregon staff. I don't think we would have had a chance at Dickerson without him.

No. 1 2021 recruit J.T. Tuimoloau commits to Ohio State

J.T. Tuimoloau announced his college decision on Sunday...

Penn State gained three recruits and a recruit yesterday. Potentially getting Singleton on Tuesday. Arguably going to be the best Penn State class Franklin will assemble.
