Football Recruiting Thread

[MakeItRain]

FYI offers often aren't real offers
most schools give out supposed offers by the hundreds each year with absolutely no intention of accepting the vast majority of them
it is often done as a favor to the high school coaches
a better to determine who is actually interested in a recruit is to follow who is actually "recruiting" them
hardly any of Densons list was actively recruiting him
he had 3 schools supposedly recruiting him the last couple months
in december it was literally just us and purdue
so I'll take him but every CB commit from last year was ranked higher and other CB commit this year is ranked higher too
KU's CB commit is ranked #30 in the country
Denson is ranked #90

so if Georgia gave him a scholarship offer in Nov, and he says i accept your offer, then what, they say, haha just kidding it was a joke, we aren't actually recruiting you, just like your coach?

Pretty much, schools like Iowa State will make offers then the kid they offered will never hear from them again, so the schools pretty much eliminate themselves. I do think kashi oversimplified why schools make so many offers. I think the schools, especially non elites who do it, make the offers to anyone they could possibly be interested in, then they essentially offer over the previous offer and have the ability to come back to them later if need be, it's how flood aggie got Purdy.

I sure hope that’s a PWO

I'm fine with all of these guys. But I'm not a rough ridin' dumbshit so what do I know.

thought so but nope, scholarship.

I trust coach Kli more with DITR’s now than I ever did with Snyder in his later years. Confidence rising. Relax!

A shitty thing to do, imo. You offer, you should uphold it...cut the shotgun recruiting, this shouldn't be marketing. All that said, why belittle recruits whom, in one category on paper, appear to be an improvement? Weren't a lot of our past higher ranked recruits ones that had short offer lists (I.e., not even on the shotgun offer lists to begin with)?

As it currently stands, this is our first top 40 class since 2008.

[Kid In the Hall]

Derick Newton, what does it mean if he has no ranking on 247 site? Is this guy any good?

He may/may not be good, but he had 69 tackles (30 solo), 6 sacks, 19.5 TFLs and 4 FF this year at Butler. That's pretty impressive production for a D-lineman and light years beyond our recent JUCO DL signees in the past few years. 

[PIPE]

That’s 4 juco DL then. I know we are losing 3 starters along the DL, but that seems like a lot.

I’m good with that I guess as long as next year we focus on HS studs along the DL

[steve dave]

If we’re ever in the history of our program going to load up on dudes it should be on the DL

Stealing NDSU recruits last second.   screw off.  what a sissy you guys turned Klieman and hank jacobs into down there.

You are basically NDSU 3.0 at this point. embarassing.

This is a very good commit too. He's a project at OT, but he's mean and he's quick, and if he adds the weight and learns the technique, he could be really special.

LSU and Kansas State were battling over phone time with him the last 24-48 hours it sounds like

suck it, Akron

['taterblast]

apparently Mississippi State was after him, tho. (but they suck)

[manpow5]

I know we're not signing really any 4 or 5 * guys, but man our social media team is making it fun

[meow meow]

yes, overall a much more fun experience, and if this is a top 40 class, yeah not full of 4 stars, but that would be the best class we've had in a long time, so purple wings rising and the arrow continues to point up.  lrwtp!

Kid is going to be the steal of the class.

[KITNfury]

Yea much more fun these days. Is our twitter/media game good, or is it just new to us? Pretty jealous if other schools have been getting this treatment for years.
