Football Recruiting Thread

2013:  Samples and Wade talking us up.

Ra'Shaad Samples is a Dallas Skyline receiver.  We offered him as a freshman.  He likes Michael Smith, said he's like family to him.  He's on the first rivals 250 list and 4 star.

Wade is inside LB, Kennendale, TX.  He's also rivals 250 and 4 star.  I thought this was interesting from an update TCU's site did with him...

"A&M and Kansas State stuck out early, but A&M has dropped a little with the coaching change and Kansas State is still right there near the top like they have from the beginning," Wade said. "Kansas State was the first offer. Other than that, I'm liking OU and OSU. We'll just have to see.

noticed that Clemson has offered Wade fairly recent.  hmmmm?

OU has offered Samples now as well...and committed a NCAA violation.

I would probably play for a program that is willing to make recruiting violations for my talents.  That is if helicopters are out of the question, of course.

When would a helicopter be out of the question?  Only if you are going to use a full sized blimp instead.

A very good point.  Now if my house could get a hand written letter MOAB from a stealth bomber that would be hard to turn down.  Just sayin

Congrats to Cameron Morgan from Omaha Westside who's been asked to walk-on by Kansas State. Don't know any family that loves KSU more.

[The Manhatter]

let's see how we can fvck this one up.  The kid in the link: has an update on rivals where he basically says he's interested in Tech and KSU.  That he has a brother who went to KSU (don't know if he played football), knows a lot of people up there, and it would be good for him.  Says his coach told him we're about to offer.

Let's see...he's a 6'0 corner with speed (track verified) and it is rather obvious from the video he can play.  When he tackles the ball carrier stops and goes down.  Oh yeah, and there is a defensive end teammate who is an early rivals 100.  hmmmm?  Offer the corner, try to get him locked up, and then hold on for dear life until NSD.

[The Manhatter]

btw, we need some KSU post in the messages on that youtube link as the red raider fans are beating us to the punch.  where is poet warrior when you need him?

Would point out the Coach's wife is a cold hearted killer.

Am I the only one who was disappointed to see him listed as a WR?

well, you may be the only one that takes the rivals databse to mean anything.  so I would be disappointed in yourself for that. 

[raquetcat]

I saw Michael Smith at so long at lunch time with a recruit, looked to be a receiver/d back/athlete type build. He looked like he WAS enjoying Manhattan!

SI:

Alabama's Nick Saban is considered by some to be the "hardest working man" in the recruiting biz. The postmaster of Tuscaloosa, Ala., might be next after Nick. Alabama made national headlines when it mailed 105 recruiting letters in a day to a running back from Atlanta this week, Norcross High School junior Alvin Kamara. Usually, Saban puts stamps on only about 4-6 letters per day to Kamara. "Yeah, I got home and they were failing out of my mailbox," Kamara said. "It was crazy but I liked it." It was yet another creative and innovative recruiting tactic by Saban, who finished with the nation's No. 1 recruiting class for 2012 earlier this month.

This is fantastic.  I don't expect Bill to do something like this, however, how hard is it to recognize that sometimes kids enjoy overwhelming attention.  Follow up Q: how hard is it to think of ways to provide that attention?  Saban's letter idea was original(to me at least) but still very simplistic. 

And yet you'd think if there was one thing this staff could do well in recruiting it would be mailing letters

Our coaching staff doesn't produce enough saliva to lick that many envelopes.
