Wonder what that means for Eaton. Didn’t see 3 CBs in the class

It means Herman is letting aggy have who he says they can have.

[Elmer_Fudd 22980]

Jordan, Johnston, Thompson, Collins, and Umanmielen will do just fine.

Only need a LB and a Safety ( or 2 ).  I guess maybe Hester and Bunkley as well?

Is this class still going to go past 20?

Adding: 

Alfred Collins

Jerrin Thompson

Quentin Johnston

Ty Jordan 

that would put us at 271.02 tied with Georgia at #5 with only 1 more commit

We needed a second cornerback, we got a second cornerback. The Pouncey take doesn't affect anything numbers-wise unless you're hanging onto some inexplicable hope for Ringo.

LVBS gets a spot to the end, I'm pretty sure. He's real good. Hester... man I don't know what they're doing there.

This, plus it looks like they're going to take Hester and they will probably hold spots for Ringo (not likely) and LVBS (trending well) if they decide they want in. I'm still skeptical Princely ends up here.

Let's add on a mystery LB to these lists for the hell of it

[Elmer_Fudd 22980]

This class may finish with a .93+ composite average.

a) OU sucks

b) hear them footsteps, aggy?

 

There's almost no separation from #9 to #14. Landing Jerrin Thompson tomorrow, for example, would instantly push us all the way up to #8.

[Pato del Muerto 53455]

I’d hope that Hester is third in line for 2 spots, but the cb flurry makes me wonder if they will take him regardless of the other two. 

Does he by chance dabble at linebacker when his team is playing defense?

Nahlin says we're finished at CB (barring Ringo obviously). See ya never, Josh (which is kind of too bad, he grew up a UT fan).

He just backed up on this, said Jahari is still a take as of now. 

[BigBenBamboozle 1957]

Still think Jahari circles back to us later in the cycle..

Fuckin A, this staff is picking up some quality players.  Numbers are starting to get tight for guys slowing playing us.

I think the worst part of Cam Rising transferring is that we can't say "AND THEN I WENT TO TEXAS" anymore. It just feels so good to post after we get a commitment out of nowhere.

Jerrin Thompson and Collins moves us into 6th.

Wait, wasn't Herman supposed to be timing these commits to dilute aggy fauxmentum?  I guess Herman has been pounding them for Price's son.  The best part about passing OU was it's like beating them twice--once in the ranking and again in the average.  As always, f'k ou.

Liucci has many, many fundamental defects of character. Excessive consistency is not one of them.

I don’t have anything to pass on regarding Umanlymannishman right now, but personally, I have a hard time seeing Texas pass on taking him. Maybe they do. Seems crazy if he wants to come.

Yep, he’s a take.   I’m not fully dug into 2021 yet and while there still time, seems like there are only 4 top in state Dlinemen.  This might be a better year to load up especially since we lose 4 Seniors.  If he wants in, I don’t see the staff turning him away.  Plus DL seems like a place where we end up with unexpected attrition too.

[fellside 1135]

Also it's very realistic we don't land any of Jackson, Tunmise, Sanders or Burris next year. I don't think anyone would say we lead for any of those four right now. So why not take four this class?

Can anyone make one of those Avengers style intros where you have Mecca turn into Texas like Avengers turned into Infinity War and with the burnt orange logo behind it like the A logo for the Avengers?

Sounds like we’re not going to spend much time if any chasing lathan ransom.  Or maybe that’s just a hush hush operation

I am really impressed with this staff's ability right now to stay on its priority targets relentlessly, but also have options ready to go if the player looks elsewhere for culture/money/better fit/whatever.  It's still early and no one has signed yet, but they are doing a hell of a job this year in recruiting IMHO.

Would love to save the Hester scholarship for a late rising Oline, LB or fourth DL spot. Receiver room is solid as is and Jordan will probably used as a poor mans whittington. Backfield, slot, out wide. Returner. Overall gadget guy

the only thing i would say here is that it is solid TODAY. almost guaranteed that we see some guys go elsewhere after this season...

• Current SO: Eagles, Josh Moore, Jordan Pouncey (RS)
• Current RS FR: Malcolm Epps, Al'Vonte Woodard 
• Current True FR: Kennedy Lewis, Jake Smith, Marcus Washigton

when you consider the current Seniors (Johnson/Dev Duv/Burt) that isn't a ton of snaps to go around, especially if you see Eagles establish himself at the Z and Moore establish himself at H/slot (with Smith getting snaps there as well)

going to be interesting to see how things shake out for sure.

Assuming Jerrin Thompson commits, it doesn't seem like there is room for Joshua Eaton. Unless for some reason Eaton can project to the safety position.

HOPEFULLY they learned their lesson last year at the RB position regarding not keeping folks warm either for late risers or if something changes at the position.

Pouncey is rated #90 in the nation on 247 and #103 in the nation by ESPN.

Rivals ranking is real low being #71 in the whole state of Florida.

Maybe some BOMC in the Rivals update coming?

Rivals hasn't had their big overall update, right? ESPN and 247 have?

Given the size of the class,  I really do not see how we can take 3 CB’s. It’s not a need and I would rather throw numbers at late rising linebackers. 

It’s going to be awesome watching Aggy claim a head to head recruiting victory with Eaton.

Yeah you have to take him.  

I hadn’t noticed before, but it says on his 247 page that he has a scheduled commitment date, October 15th.  A little odd to have it that far out.  If you’re scheduling a commitment date, you typically know where you’re going though.

would we really take three corners AND three safeties? I thought the goal was 5 DBs for this class, including safety, nickel, and CTJ's box safety/hybrid LB.

Numbers probably depend on the right guys wanting in. Would they take six if Jahari, CTJ, and Washington all want in? If the info is true that they'd still take Jahari, then that seems like a yes. Texas also might not flip Jahari, so this might be moot.

Also, Jerrin Thompson and Xavion Alford seem similar and potentially redundant. It'll be interesting to see if Texas still recruits Alford hard after Jerrin commits.
