2018 Recruiting Thread

Here? 

Tre Watson transfers in from Illinois. 

Defense gets another good player.

Does the Big Ten still have its policy that if a kid transfers to a member school, there can be no scholarship?

IU dealt with a really weird situation on signing day. Randy Charlton, 3* DE from Miami, 100% wanted to sign with IU where his teammate and friend James Head, also a 3* DE, was signing. He had been ready to commit for more than month. Reportedly the only thing holding him back was his mothers refusal to allow him to go to school that far from home. At his school’s signing day ceremony he tearfully committed to FIU, much to the obvious surprise of Head. He let the IU coaches know afterward that he didn’t want to go to FIU but his mom wouldn’t relent.
Later that night, all of the sudden he posted on Twitter that he was 100% committed to IU and would be signing in the morning. 
The next morning UCF announced that he had signed with them. Mama got her way.

That's very selfish of the mother. She probably has no idea how much her kid resents her. That is something that just builds too.

ya never know

momma might know best

could work out for the best

I wouldn't bet against Mullen getting that thing turned around.

I believe so had him in the coaches thread landing in G'ville.Solid recruiter & fundamentals guy

he's a great fit for Florida. Been there with Meyer for 4 years, knows it in and out. Been a head coach in the SEC West for the last 9 years and did great for Miss State- probably as competitive as they've been in ages. He was the QB's coach for Urban and helped develop Josh Harris at Bowling Green, Alex Smith at Utah, Tebow at Florida, and Dak and this Fitzgerald kid at Miss State.

He'll do really good at Florida imo.

3* DL Jamarcus Chatman from GA, who decommitted from Tennessee, is visiting MSU, along with UNC, FSU and Florida.

MSU has been recruiting Georgia pretty well, and interior DL is probably the biggest position of need to round out this class.

Pair of four star defensive ends commit. Tyreke Smith to the Bucks and Jayson Oweh to Penn State

Good gets for both.  Smith can play today, Oweh's a more physical freak but will need a few years to develop.  
Leaves PSU with 22 signed, 1 committed (Anderson-Butts, expected to sign in Feb if he gets academics in order) and two more spots open.  
Last big battle between the two is Rasheed Walker, the OT outta DMV area.  Has an OV scheduled to OSU this month, will be down to PSU, OSU and VT in the end.  
Last on the 'want' list for PSU then is Solomon Enis, WR out of Phoenix.  I think if he goes elsewhere PSU will eat the 'ship for the year and pocket for next year.

2018 Michigan signee 4* DE Aidan Hutchinson had a heck of a game in the Army All-American Bowl. 3 TFL's and 2 sacks. Was in that backfield all game, maybe most impressive defensive lineman in the game.

Runs in the genes. Dad was an All-time great defensive player at Michigan despite being undersized and was an All-B1G performer and starter as a freshman. Son doesn't have the size issues as he's all of 6-6, 260 graduating high school.

Bet he sees the rotation at SDE. Wouldn't be surprised if he jumps Carlo Kemp.

[PSUinNC]

I heard that Hutchinson kid absolutely dominated that game Saturday.  

[MarqHusker]

It's amazing to me the announced crowd for that game is over 41,000.

On a personal recruiting front,  I did get a commitment (5 star) from a summertime nanny for our kids for this next summer.  As a parent, that's one of the more critical matters to nail down asap.

WR Rondale Moore out of the Louisville area announced for Purdue during the Army All-American game.

Likely to be an instant impact player in the slot.
