2020 Recruiting Thread

What's going on in Austin?

In fairness, it was on Longhorn Network, so nobody saw it

[Brutus Buckeye]

Exactly.

What are you asking about?  is there new news today?

Tom Herman went double middle finger on LHN this morning

[Entropy]

WOW...  as a joke????

WOW...  as a joke????

He was in the coaches' room, and LHN had a camera in there.  Unclear if he knew he was live, but he was clearly doing it at the camera.

I just searched it on twitter.  His staff seems to be laughing.  I'm guess they all thought the cameras were off and messing around.   Perhaps I'm giving him too much credit...

4* WR Rakim Jarrett, a top 35 recruit from DC, flipped from LSU to Maryland.

There's Locksley paying off

All of MSU's commits signed except RB Jordon Simmons from Georgia.  He had said he wouldn't be signing until February all along, but that's one that really makes me nervous, particularly since it seems more and more clear JUCO transfer Alante Brown, who had his offer pulled last year, after being committed, for academic reasons, but had circled back, seems headed for Nebraska.

And like that, committed to Frost.  Hell of an athlete

All of the UW commits have signed, except LB Nick Herbig, who is in Honolulu. He'll sign later today. Pretty good class in Madison.

UW is 7 over 85 right now, but we know there are 2-3 leaving for the draft and there will be attrition, which is normally 4-5 per year (injury/medical, transfer). I know a couple of the kids that were listed as "out for the year" are going to retire from football, because they've been out for more than just this past year. There are also a couple of walk-ons who were given a free year too. So, we'll see. I could speculate on names, but that wouldn't' be fair to the kids.

Some chatter about that. OSU already has a QB committed in Jack Miller, but they only have two guys on scholarship there next year so they want to add another one.  Of course, the way QBs go these days there all lots of concerns that Miller would leave if Stroud commits. 

Stroud committed.

Obviously not the low 3* recruit anymore that he was when MSU offered him as their Plan C, after their first two choices picked Louisville and Purdue.

But will it ever translate to wins on the field?  Obviously we need to give Locksley a little time, but last year wasn't encouraging.

Perhaps, but why risk it?
