2021 ludicruous recruting thread

FINALY, UW will have a talented offensive lineman to work with.

(It will be ironic when he's just like, decent, and some walk-on from a school with 125 kids who pulls tractors in his free time will blossom into a first rounder)

This guy is the 2nd highest OL recruit for UW. Josh Ogelsby was ranked higher, but injuries really held him back.

The OL room is quite crowded now, with a bunch of 4-5* players.

Logan Brown was rated higher than both I think.

3* S JahVon Grigsby from Louisiana, who had to push his OV back three times due to COVID, seems like he's just going to commit to Vandy, after being an MSU lock.

On one hand a pandemic, with a new coach is a disaster, but at least Tucker is doing the best he can, whereas I'm not sure Dantonio would even know what to do during this.  Probably a wash, but the next few years could be rough

And then commits to MSU today over Vandy, Auburn and Florida State.  So, who knows

Logan Brown was rated higher than both I think.

Just reporting what I read on 247. Brown is a 5* for sure. So is Jack Nelson. Rucci is a 4* on Rivals. I'm not bothering with re-subscribing to them this year. The UW writer is good, but the evaluators only go off what they see at their own camps.

Brown is second, behind Josh.

To a degree, but I also got the impression he never had that dog in him. Now he coulda maybe been a really high end pass blocker. I also didn't realize quite how bad those knees were. 

Anyway, he's an FBS OL coach right now, so more power to him.

MSU adds 3/4* RB Audric Estime from NJ over Iowa, Nebraska, Arizona State and Rutgers

Norris 3-star (HV Rating: 85.3) tight end James Carnie‍ announced his decision to commit to Nebraska on Monday.

Now the Huskers have three tight ends in the class. There will be some questions on how that makes everyone feel. For the Norris star, it didn’t matter at all that he is joining two other tight ends. 

“No, I want to go in and compete,” Carnie said. “I want to earn my spot. You know obviously with Thomas [Fidone] and AJ [Rollins], they are two really good athletes. It'd be a fun competition that's for sure.”

Carnie is the 19th known commitment of the 2021 recruiting class. He picked the Huskers over Kansas State and Iowa.

So JJ McCarthy and his super team at IMG are just destroying everyone they play. They play a national schedule, and just traveled to Texas to play Duncanville HS- the #2 ranked HS team in the nation and the #1 ranked HS team in the state of Texas according to MaxPreps HS rankings- and beat them 41-14.

IMG is 5-0, and McCarthy has thrown for 12 TDs with 0 INT’s, is completing 70% of his passes and rushed for 2 more scores. All while missing huge chunks of the 2nd halves, as IMG’s scores have been;

49-13
48-7
45-14
52-8
41-14

Going to IMG was the best thing he could’ve ever done to accelerate his development. Hopefully some of those recruits down there say oh he’s pretty good- I’d like to play with him at the next level.

[847badgerfan]

Sadly, the guy he's going to play for at the next level has proven he can't develop QB's.

That's my take, anyway.

That has been true so far IMHO. But let’s see how he does with Joe Milton, who I think will be the first QB he’s had at Michigan that came right out of high school straight the Wolverines. I think Milton will pleasantly surprise.  

And speaking of quarterbacks badge, what is the good word out of Wisconsin with Coan’s injury and is Graham Mertz doing well?  That kid had rave reviews and as you know it was highly prized in the recruiting process.

[847badgerfan]

Feel bad for Coan, but confident in the new kid. I know Chryst and Buds can develop QB's.

Chryst's history is actually a bit spottier than one might think. Lotta guys that were just complete nothings.

That said, they can build an efficent passing game just about every year, so I'll take it. 

[847badgerfan]

Stocco
Tolzien
Wilson
Stave (!!)
Houston (!!)
Horni
Coan


All developed under Chryst. Not too bad, save for Horni's regression in his last season. That was more his own doing though.

The !! guys were submarined by the prior coach too. That same guy who made Houston into a punter and tried to make a WR into a QB. I'd have liked to have seen what they could have done under PC for 4-5 years. Houston could have been something special, I think.
