Hey gogeta, you seem super plugged into this.
But curious if you ever question the logic as to why "he is NOT high on our board"? Given that so far under the Diaz era, our DB recruitment and production has been awful and a lot of big time programs want him.
And look we're really lucky to have Trob + DVD killing it this cycle. Graves, Rodgers, Feagans look like studs and help mask the loss of Earl Jr. And I agree Singletary should be higher than Junior.
But I watched Earl Sr second interview last night (I know, I know... we need to take what he says with grain of salt), and there are just so many red flags here as to why we're NOT recruiting this kid outside of what Sr says:
He's at the top of Bama's board. Nick Saban's track record speaks for itself with DBs. This is not a lie. I corroborated this with my Bama friend and he said "Yea Earl Little Jr has a commitable offer and he's one of the top CBs their recruiting this cycle."
He's on high UFs board. Corey Bell literally called Earl Senior during the interview (SR could be totally lying about that). And I hate the gators, but would argue they've had some DB success lately against us and have put more DBs in the draft than us lately. My UF friend told "Yea we would love to get him, but think he's going to Bama."
He mentioned Mario Cristobal literally texts Earl and Earl Senior every single day (again could be a lie)... But this is the guy that 90% of the board wants as HC now, I think we would all agree runs a better program than Manny and is an outstanding recruiter.
And this is all without stating the obvious... that this kid isa high 4 star legacy kid, at a HS we've had big problems with, at a HS who we know puts studs in the league, and whose Dad is also a coach on the HS staff. It just seems really dumb to not recruit this kid just for good will sake alone at American Heritage, yet alone to completely ignore his father who is a Cane legacy just seems like HC malpractice to me.
