Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Like dopeboy206 mentioned earlier, if we can get Kasen and Hundley in addition to ASJ, that would be HUGE. It would also be nice if Bigelow decides to stay committed, but that's looking grim.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Hey thaima1shu can u PM me the article (copy and paste) because I am too cheap for a DM suscription. If u can't I'll understand.

You guys know when Kasen Williams will be announcing? If we can get Hundley and Kasen to go along with Seferian Jenkins and Brendon Bigelow UW will be back sooner than later. Sark is a great recruiter. I just hope he stays and reject any future offers.

I hear Cal picked up a 4 star RB will that solidify our chances with Bigelow?

Kasen is announcing on the 27th? I think it's somewhere around there.

No clue. Hope so, but Bigelow does seem to be enamored with Cal lately.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

I wish I could post the info that Dawgman's article has .. some interesting stuff in there on whenwhy he decided on UW.

I read them. Pretty weak IMO. If you've known where you're going for over 2 months why play games with another school? Granted it didn't cost us a dime, still a weak move.

While I can understand why you feel that way, at the same time ... it's Texas. I have a hard time feeling sorry or sympathetic for a school the monstrous recruiting classes that you guys get. And for a school like us, that is trying to rise, ASJ is doing everything he can to ensure that the school he's going to will rise where he wants it to.

My feelings have nothing to do with losing a great player, especially one who we spent little time and money on. I have no problem s with him deciding to stay home. I've felt for about a week he wasn't going to Texas because of the distance from his family and the travel expenses. Perfectly fine with that as I feel it was his best decision. But to openly admit you intentionally embarrassed another school to pimp out another is lame; not to mention idiotic, not sure how hyping Texas is good exposure for UW. Mack was straight with him from the get to, you'd figure ASJ would have the decency to be straight with Mack. To basically lie to any and everyone who would listen for over two months is busch league.

Hmm ... the more I think about it the more I do see your point. The idea is, theoretically, that UW beat out Texas directly for a 5 star recruit. However, the more I think about it, the less .. impactful that actually is if ASJ actually comes out and says that's what he was doing. It would have certainly been more effective if he just didn't mention that, because then it would have seemed that he had actually chosen UW over Texas instead of just playing them.

Whatever the case, I'm stoked for ASJ. Though perhaps the execution of the 'get hype for UW' probably wasn't great, the fact that he's already trying to do that sounds wonderful to me. Can't wait to see if he can recruit some guys like Hundley, Kasen, and other high profile recruits.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

New Rivals 100 is out, only Hasean Clinton Dix (Bama) and Karlos Williams (FSU) earned 5* status (overdue for both). It is scary to think FSU could very well land three of the four 5* prospects from Florida.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Man, if Alabama were to snag Clowney from South Carolina they'd have 4 of the top 12 recruits in the nation.




Holy ****.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Looks like Gene Chizik and the Auburn coaching staff knew what they were doing when they offered "unranked" Hoover WR Jaylon Denson.

The updated Rivals 250 now has Denson as a 4 star prospect and 195 overall after dominating in the Palmetto 7 on 7 tourney.

Look for Auburn's other unranked WR Sammie Coates to jump into the 250 as well before the season's out.

6'3", 38" vertical and 4.3 speed. Coates also was the best WR at the Auburn camp that included going against 2 of the top 5 corners in the nation in Jonathan Rose and Marcus Roberson (who AU also leads for).

LOVE IT.

Holy ****.

Don't forget it's a two man race for Malcolm Brown as well. So realistically it could even be 5 of the top 12.

I really want O'Leary in Crimson next year too.
