Recruiting Update Thread

Ahmad got a bump to 4 star by 247 and now .88 in composite. Top rated recruit of the class.

Dude really chose Pitt? They haven't been relevant since Alex Van Pelt. They have good RBs but not much else recently.

Nothing official but looking that way

I was a Pitt and Penn St fan growing up. Those 2 are shells of themselves right now. Pitt being the worst.

 

[JAFFX2]

Exactly. And I checked each year going back to 2010, and with our current 18 recruits, the average recruit rating of this year so far is .8398. This is the 2nd highest since 2010, which was the only year where we exceeded 84 with a .8412 average. So Heupe and team actually have a chance to pull in the best class as graded by average rating per recruit.

This is a much better metric and exactly why the overall rankings are BS.

Quadry Jones

Doesn't look like an offer has been made yet

Seems smaller than 6 foot or he’s playing with giants.

There is a reason he only has offers from Marshall and Prairie View A&M? (yes that is a really a D1 school)

His receiver #8 is a beast.

So that means he is signing with a P5.

 

[Knight59]

Quadry appears to be a pretty good player but are we seriously this desperate to sign a QB? I know, an injury to KZ and the sky falls, but barring that, this kid will doubtfully ever see the field here. With KZ, Mack,WF transfer here now and Heup’s own pickup(s) next year, it doesn’t seem likely. Does he play any other positions?

 

[HammerB08]

Ok, which one of you did it??

 

[Knight Strength]

So that means he is signing with a P5.

Haha hope not but that was my thought too

They grade on the curve at Jones high.

Good recovery by Heup and staff in a unique situation. Now let's get Ahmad's signature in today and then 2019 I want to see the top class in the Group of 5.

He's fast, has a good TD/Int ratio compared to attempts (better than Purdy). He's also local. We have the scholarships, why not use them?

 

[HammerB08]

Marc Daniels on radio just now said that his sources among local Orlando high schools have nothing but high praise for the way Heupel and staff have come out and created relationships with them in the short time he's been here thusfar.

Don't see him as signed so maybe a preferred walk on.

 

[Ace of Knights]

Don't see him as signed so maybe a preferred walk on.

Either way I like this signing. Local kid. Low risk, high reward. It’s nothing like the Troy Green crap that happened years ago.

He may have just put that out on twitter first and then he'll sign his paperwork and send it in.

Quadry and Trilion Coles of Bishop Moore (another undersized but great local HS player) have both signed as PWO's....very nice pickups....Quadry is Milton jr and Coles is Anderson jr......here's an article on Trilion (his dad played 11 season in the NFL)

There was more to that. $

 

[Poolside Knight]

when is Ahmed supposed to sign?


Baldonado pick Pitt?

 

[Stormthecourt?]

Ahmad is the only one not signed?

 

[Happy Hands]

What are the chances he is on the phone with Texas Saban at A&M? Makes me nervous.

 

[Knight59]

Wonder who’s trying to poach him? TA&M?

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Baldonado decision at 10:30. Wildgoose at 10 I think. Ahmad is on Central time but should sign soon I think.

Just saw a tweet the he should be in soon.

if Wildgoose doesn't pick UCF I think that Ca/conn WR is probably a late add.

 

[Knight59]

YES!

Coles, the old man, was a stud WR at FSU. Interesting addition as a walk on.

 

[KnightVision82]

Check the boxes...

Every year you want to at least try to match those talents that are leaving and you can
see that we did with: WR Smith to Ahmad, LB Griffin to Gilyard and TE Akins to Hescock.

Overload on OL and DL influx

Good job!

 

[Poolside Knight]

YES!

?

 

[UCF Chase]

With or without wildgoose, this was a great class for Heupel to start with.

 

[Happy Hands]

?

RRO (random recruiting orgasm)

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Hope Wildgoose decides before the CA WR wakes up.
