Football Recruiting Thread

Believe the big guy in top right pic is Dontae Livingston.

He doesn't know if he wants us or KU. 

Dominique Robertson is visiting this weekend, and AJ Allen is still on our radar, so I guess if he wants to go play at a shitty school then I would be pretty meh about it...as long as we land one of the other two guys that is.

Which would be the best get?

Robertson is the highest rated on Rivals, he checks in at around 75 in the Juco top 100, Allen is #100 exactly. I like Allen's size though, 6' 7" 315 lbs. Wouldn't be surprised if we are slow playing him and Livingston until we find out what Robertson is going to do.

[troubledscribe]

Will be an exciting meltdown to watch if we lose him.

Good grief. Maybe he just wants a free trip to the beach.

I'm leaning towards this since he tweeted our new committ White saying how great they are going to be for us next year...  I would visit every school that offered, free trip to the beach from the middle of butt ass cold blizzard Kansas in the winter?  Sign me up!

[troubledscribe]

Three guys to keep an eye on.

http://247sports.com/Player/Dominick-Sanders-23259 ESPN notes are saying he is a solid athlete at a ton of positions.

http://247sports.com/Player/James-Davis-32120  Greyshirt? turn him into a  Tuggle?

http://247sports.com/Player/Sekou-Clark-18710 <-- This kid is going to be the steal of this class.

All three are warm on us per 247, would make for some solid pickups on signing day to fill out the roster.

also, the great thing about that bill picture is it was probably totally a coincidence that bill happened to be walking down the hall and his host or whatever was like "hey, wanna meet the head coach" and white is like "eff YEAH" and bill's like "who's this guy?".

Yup, that's our Bill.  Poor son of a bitch has no idea what's going on most of the time. I'm just glad he's surrounded by such great assistant coaches.

You're kidding, right?

He gone.

JUCO LB Derricott grew up a Miami fan
Garden City C.C. (Kan.) LB D'Vonta Derricott (6-1, 235) is currently a Kansas State commitment, but the Miami Hurricanes have recently come into the picture and made things interesting.

"One of their assistants had hit me up on Facebook and were talking about me and my teammate Errol Clarke and then Coach Barrow called my coach and told him I had an offer," said Derricott.

What did the offer mean to Derricott?

"It was fun because Miami is my favorite school. They have great players and linebackers come out of there. I grew up a Miami fan."

The offer is intriguing to Derricott because of his background as a Canes fan.

"At first, it was just the college, but as I started to get older and learned about football, they were my favorite team. They won all the time and I watch the 30 for 30 all the time because of the style they play with."

Derricott is planning to visit Miami "sometime in January".

"I just want to be in the stadium and see how the environment is because I've never been out there before."

The linebacker originally from Richmond, Virginia says that a good Miami visit could change his recruitment around in a major way.

"If I took the trip to Miami and like it, I would probably decommit (from Kansas State)."

Derricott feels like his versatility and athletic ability separates him as a prospect.

"I can cover, I can come down and hit. I feel like there's nothing I can't do. I'm about 6-feet, 6-1, but my speed is in the low 4.4s so I can shoot the gaps and sideline-to-sideline."

Although a lot of people see the Junior College route as a bad situation, Derricott does not see it that way.

"I didn't have the grades to go straight to D-1 so JUCO is really the last option if you want to play football. I think JUCO is a good experience because you can get bigger schools looking at you."

That guy is weird.   When has Miami "won all the time" during his lifetime? 

[catzacker]

Good grief. Maybe he just wants a free trip to the beach.

You're kidding, right?

I know.  the lengths people will go to convince themselves he isn't leaving is always fun to watch.  he's gone.

[Cire]

Any juco backup plans?

[Jackstack99EMAW]

Dude reaffirms his commitment two weeks after they offer him then says hes probably gonna flip.  Damn.  Snyder and staff need to get him back to manhattan and recruit him hard.  Good recruiting day instantly goes bad.

[treysolid]

well, at least when he visits, the atmosphere in the stadium will be pretty close to what it is for a 'canes game.

It's possible Wacky was just dropping a parody GPC post on us.

Shouldn't be surprised. We always seem to be a back-up plan.
