Football Recruiting Thread

[Belvis Noland]

what impact, if any, might impending Winter Death Storm Electra have on Derricott's decision to play football in Miami. 

[Panjandrum]

I thought Derricott had an offer from Miami months ago?

Whatever.  I'm pretty meh about it.

[Winters]

If DD wants to play for minor league Miami then that is his decision.

[420seriouscat69]

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.

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

I was. He's gone.

Our recruiting staff is a bunch of effing idiots.

I think they've handled Derricott's recruitment the best they can. What else do you want them to do?

If you look online, he's had an offer from Miami since October (if you trust every recruiting service out there).  Then he said he's not looking anywhere, and he's tweeting a bunch of recruits about coming here, then he talks with Cassidy and says he's going to look at Miami, after he said he wasn't and a few hours after he tries to convince guys to come here...

I mean, there's only so much the staff can do.  I'll blame them for all kinds of things, but this is just weird.

True. Weird stuff like this why I watch FB recruiting from afar I suppose, twitter just makes it even more bizarre.

It really does.

he apparently wants to play with good players on defense.  I would encourage the staff to recruit some good players on defense. 

[BackPayne]

Just bring in his bud Errol Clarke. I know there is some mysterious reason we won't, but damn.

We really do need to sign this kid, I really don't give a crap about what the existential issues are.

Weren't we suppose to hear the reason after the team's bowl game? Bowl game is over.

That doesn't matter. Miami isn't going to offer Clarke either.

you're right. the staff isn't recruiting good players on defense because they don't want a good defense.

Well, sure, I think our staff wants a good defense.  It's just painfully obvious that they're either too old, too lazy, too disincentivized (insert adj.) to go out on the recruiting trail and lock down some real talent to complement Derricott.

but right now (late Nov - late Jan) is the time when you start to lock up juco talent. Derricott wasn't a placement, he just committed really early (for a juco). we've got White now, we're recruiting the crap out of McDaniel, we're recruiting the crap out of Riddle (who is better than Dorvilus and Clarke, look up his hudl film). We still need a DT, and we lost Clinks to Nub but we're still in it for Moala.

i just don't think the staff is doing that bad a job right now. i may rethink that if we lose McDaniel to ISU or So. Miss and Riddle also goes elsewhere.

[PowercatPat]

If we lose Derricott to Miami I will lose it.

[HerrSonntag]

he said "If I visit and I like it, i'll decommit"

Are you imagining that he's going to hate sunny Miami?

[troubledscribe]

Some recruiting sites say this kid is interested in us: http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/football/recruiting/player-134774 Would definitely take.  Plays RB/ DE / OLB ?

Yeah, it's going to be beautiful weather with lots of hot babes and lots of coke to go around.

[Belvis Noland]

so, to be clear, you may rethink your assessment if we lose our top targets (including Derricott) to other (lesser) programs and we can't lock down a DT...

Is this your first year following Kansas State recruiting?  serious question. 

 

[troubledscribe]

Dericott is going down to Miami just to make some more Dericott Jr's okay?  He is chasing McFadden's record so by the time draft comes around he will be the champ of this list.
