Football Recruiting Thread

[GoodForAnother]

huh.  I guess I only knew/cared about aldon/gabbert.

[sonofdaxjones]

Any kid that requires more than the minimum amount of attention from the coaching staff during the recruiting process is considered, "not a Snyder guy" by the majority of tucks.

[Benja]

Even the gpc guys seem upset that we cant sign d tackles

Weis acknowledges some changes he authorized were patterned after the primary rival KU faces on its schedule, Kansas State. Thing is, though, a program must be able to adequately accept, embrace and transition juco transfers. There is an art in developing their capabilities. Over time, LHC Bill Snyder has perfected that art.

All Juco recruits need to be shown this quote from a local journalist and be told that the promise of immediate playing time is not the be all to end all in their development.

also we should promise immediate playing time

I think Bill wants to get away from JUCO recruiting a bit. It is becoming a super competitive market.

Elite juco DT narrows list
Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College defensive tackle Calvin Heurtleou is one of the most heavily recruited prospects in the junior college ranks, and it looks like he’s got his sights set on the SEC. Heurtleou, who is 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds, has narrowed his choices to Missouri and Tennessee and is no longer interested in other schools like Kansas State, Cincinnati, Miami, Nebraska, Rutgers and Wisconsin. Heurtleou said he’s focused mainly on playing time and sees an opportunity to get on the field quickly at both schools. “Tennessee loses around six defensive linemen, and the coaches tell me I can make an immediate impact,” he said. “Missouri’s defense is aggressive and gets after the quarterback. I think there’s a good opportunity for me there, too.” Insiders at Scottsdale believe Heurtleou is leaning toward Missouri because the “Tigers put defensive tackles in the NFL.” We fail again.

You never stop contacting a JUCO kid interested in the SEC.  There is always a good chance (like Clinkscale) that they won't qualify and will need a landing spot.

Honestly, that should be one of our staple JUCO recruiting strategies.

Math is a good friend of EMAW.

Yep.  It's responsible for

Yeah.  I'd expect him to say 'saturated market', tho

You two would need _FAN just in case they want to hear X & Os.  _FAN would talk over their heads for 5 minutes and conclude with "That's how you're going to finish the season with 18 sacks"

Then I would swear a blood oath that they would immediately start if they signed but sd would have his fingers crossed.

[sonofdaxjones]

Two thoughts.  1.  LOL at Tigerboard all happy at the developments and remembering how enraged they used to be about Juco players.   2.  Will happily take a guy who can't get into another school because of a C- in an English class.   I really wonder who some of these schools think they are sometimes.

Might I suggest naming rights for the stadium for each year's top recruit?

I would be ok with lowering our admission standards if it meant getting better players.

Quite a bold and daring recruiting philosophy you have there, mixed-nutz. We'll just check back in with the juco's once people forget about them again

[wabash909]

Here's the deal, guys.  It's quite possible a number of these DT's were in to partying and the fun side of college as opposed to intrinsic values.

Re: Sam Jones...uh oh   Reply

so many on here keep trying to portray every one of these 18 year old recruits as nothing more than a walking mass of testatrone and nothing else.  Sometime I wonder if you are doing nothing more than telling us what you were actually like at 18.

My experience tells me that many of these kids, actually most of them have an amazingly level head on there shoulders and 95% of them have their parents at there side while going down this road.  While the fun side of the trip is important and cool to the kid I am finding most of them are making their decisions on things like academic opportunity, the quality of coaches, the best place that family can get to watch me play as often as possible, the best place to develop as a football player.  In the end that is what is swaying the decision on the vast majority of these kids.  All of the other stuff is added fluff that helps with some but not others. 

From what I am seeing is that Snyder isn't really recruiting very hard the players that have the "party" fun side of college as a top priority or those that are looking for the Oregon "flash and bling".  With that said, if Sam Jones is still a high priority to LHC LHC Bill Snyder and Sam Jones still has KSU as a finalist then more than likely he is a kid that will make his choice based on some of the values I listed above verses based on that other stuff.  KSU will always have a very good and fair shot with kids like that.

We should pretty much give recruits anything they want
