2022 Worthless Recruiting Thread

the truth

[ELA]

I'm not sure what the status is of the camps.  That's where a lot of guys get offers, and where the coaches can do their best evals of the linemen they are recruiting.  For MSU's staff to come in a month before the pandemic hits, and be unable to do any on campus, in person visits, or evals might be a hole they can't dig out of.

Pretty horrible timing

The extended recruiting dead period is killing all of the non-elite helmets.  A Clemson offer, an OSU offer, etc..., stands on its own merits.  If kids can't get on campus, meet the coaches, attend the camps, it's going to be tough for an Iowa, a Wisconsin, an MSU, etc, to get commits.

A lot of the write ups on MSU targets all say something to the effect of the kid wants to get on campus this summer.  You get an Alabama offer?  You jump on it, if interested.  If you want to "see the campus", they'll move on without you.

was reading something from uab epidemiologist saying they're expecting things to be much better by early summer, may-ish. ncaa really needs to open up a large portion of summer for coaches/schools to recruit and have on campus visits. hopefully hold camps too.

Yep. That's what I'm seeing.

Thankfully the in-state kids are waiting. June has been good for UW in the past. Need June to happen this year.

Take your time don't be so hasty,we'd like to come visit our Big Ten Brethren

probably nothing, but pics of USC commit 5* CB Domani Jackson wearing Michigan gloves and socks at his HS practice the other day circulating on the internetz. Probably means nothing. But kid grew up a diehard Michigan fan and has called Michigan his dream school so many times it's hard to count. There was a lot of talk he almost committed to Michigan coming off his visit to Ann Arbor but he held off, wound up picking the hometown school. 

Michigan landing 5* CB Will Johnson was huge. Johnson became close with Jackson and is still trying to flip him. A flip would be amazing. Quite honestly I think both could start for Michigan- this year.

nope, it's real. Jackson is still a Michigan fan at heart. Hopefully they can play on those heart strings before NSD.

Nebraska is on the board with its first 2022 commitment.

It comes from in the state, with Columbus High School linebacker Ernest Hausmann making his pledge to the Huskers known on Sunday morning.

Other Big Ten schools who had offered included Iowa, Michigan State and Northwestern.

4* ATH Dillon Tatum releases his top 4 of MSU, Notre Dame, Baylor, and Michigan. He's currently ranked as the #269 recruit and #16 ATH in the country according to the 247Composite. I have a feeling he's going to shoot way up those rankings. He's rated as the #5 player in the state of Michigan. He should be #2.

MSU picks up a commitment from 3* S Malik Spencer from Buford, GA, over USC, Nebraska, Miami, WVU and ASU.

Michigan loses 4* DB commit Taylor Groves. He was a potential high riser. Very athletic, fast kid.

Nebraska football picked up its second commitment of the 2022 class on Thursday as Olympia (Fla.) wide receiver Victor Jones Jr., announced his pledge on social media.

The 6-foot-2, 184-pound prospect from Florida has yet to visit Lincoln, but was offered by Nebraska’s staff in October 2020. It was a bit of a surprise commitment but Jones told Husker247 that he’d been leaning Nebraska for some time.


In addition to the Huskers, Jones held offers from Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Cincinnati and others. Jones is a three-star prospect with an overall rating of 85 according to 247Sports, and holds a rating of 0.8416 in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

“The NCAA Council this week is expected to set an end date of June 1 for the long-standing recruiting dead period, multiple sources told CBS Sports,” Dodd wrote. “The dead period was imposed in March 2020 after COVID-19 shut down college sports. It was extended eight times over the past year as the global pandemic raged, the last time in February.

“With widespread distribution of the coronavirus vaccine, it has become easier to envision more in-person contact, including football camps and official visits, beginning in June. For more than a year, college football coaches have been able to do little more in recruiting than hold Zoom calls with prospects.”
