2020 Recruiting Thread

If I'm a 5* OL, like everyone else, I'm looking to play 3 years and then make the move.  Maybe he thought he wouldn't have a real shot to start at UGA/OSU etc. and was a shoe in at UK, and liked the coaches.

I would probably have looked at an ACC program (not Clemson) because they strike me as generally having weaker DLs.

Go to UNC or UVA and get part of a decent education (if you qualify) and play 3 years.

Yeah, and Ole Miss was clean too.

Yeah, and Ole Miss was clean too.

Of course they were not, but that does not necessarily mean UK is dirty.  Ole Miss signed more than one highly ranked dude.

Maybe he really hit it off with the OL coach, I have no clue.  Maybe they handed him $100 K.  How much money would it take to sway a HS 5 star OLman?

Yeah, one guy doesn't really move the needle for me.  The whole time in his recruitment he felt like he wanted to get away, that he was just giving the in state schools lip service.

The sleaze that is Kentucky hoops has permeated the football program.

maybe his girlfriend is going to Kentucky?

Michigan lands a big one. In-state DE Braiden McGregor (6-6, 250 lbs) commits to Michigan over Notre Dame and Florida. McGregor is ranked by 247Sports as the #1 player in Michigan, the #28 player overall in the nation, and the #3 Strongside Defensive End in the nation. ESPN ranks him as the #1 player in Michigan, the #26 player overall in the nation, and the #2 Strongside Defensive End in the nation. Nice rankings. So why is he the #89th ranked player in the nation and the #4 SDE, and the #3 player in the state of Michigan in the 247Composite? Rivals. Rivals ranks him as a 5.7 3 Star and the #27th Outside Linebacker in the country and the 13th ranked player in the state of Michigan. Uhm. What?

Rivals used to be the leader in this stuff. Kinda crazy to see them disintegrate and fall off the face of the earth right in front of our eyes. 247 is the standard now and ESPN has moved past Rivals.

UW got another OL when Tanor Bortolini committed to the program last night. That's 5 OL in this cycle now.

Five star receiver Julian Fleming commits to the bucks out of Pennsylvania

Tell me how a top flight RB whose HS HC is now a position coach at Maryland (RB) ends up committing to uSC out of the blue during Memorial weekend....

He hated his high school coach.

I wasn't good enough to play college soccer, but if I had, and my high school coach was now at a college, I would have gone anywhere but there.

But also, probably not that.  But maybe.

[Cincydawg]

I expect somebody may look at the UGA basketball recruiting soon and cry foul.

I can see why a top flight running back might go to USC.

[Cincydawg]

Clemson seems to have something locked and loaded, they are in Alabama territory when it comes to reloading.

They have the #1 ranked class both overall and on average right now.

I don't see him listed under USC(w) yet.  Maybe it's a soft commit, or just interest.  Are you talking about this dude?

Four-star Harbor City (Calif.) running back Jojuan Collins put USC among his Top 5 schools list on Tuesday evening. The Trojans were joined by Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma. 

The 6-foot, 205-pound Collins is a three-star prospect in the 247Sports Composite, coming at No. 372 overall.
