Early Enrollees update (12-14)

[supacane]

Lol at people thinking Alabama losing a playoff a game would effect their recruiting, only Washington winning would have an effect on recruiting

Neither will make a difference for either. The regular season is done and more than likely kids have seen a great sample of the schemes and they way the teams play. Also have good ideas of depth charts and how they will be used.

Who are the confirmed early enrollees for this class?

https://www.canesinsight.com/articles/recruiting/3251

I count 10-13 early enrollees. Is that more than usual for a class this size?

Yes.

Between current commits and potential commits, who is planning on enrolling early?

EEs that can play early IMO -

Amari Carter (Possible Starter at SS)
Navaughn Donaldson (Possible Starter at RT or LT)
Billy Gibson (Early PT as a backup and on Special Teams)
Deejay Dallas (PR or KR, and CB depth)
Steed or Jennings (Special Teams and LB depth) - Maybe one of them red shirts

Redshirt -

Polendey
Dykstra
Hillery
Weldon

Unknown - Burns

I think Steed will red-shirt. Not saying he isn't talented, but the kid just had surgery to repair a torn ACL a week or two ago. Personally I'd like to red-shirt him so he doesn't rush back and set himself back.

Lets not rush him, agreed.

Generally speaking though my perspective on red shirting has changed. I want to play as many kids as I can. The redshirt is important for QBs. The shirt benefits both the OL and DL, but OL more. Everyone else I could care less if we shirted or not. Don't get me wrong, there may come a time where we don't need frosh at every spot, but now we do.

YEAAAHHHH!!!! We'll have a stud starter with a #2 who is an actual and legitimate game breaker in Homer, who will be backed by another game breaker and a bruiser in Burns who reminds me of a slightly smaller and faster Jerome Bettis.

12 EEs would be awesome

Yes,but it would have been nice if at least 1 of them was a wr.

 

[GaCane1213]

Weldon will be the backup QB....

 

[jed2410]

Weldon coming before Perry is interesting....especially if Kaaya makes the silly decision to leave

 

[MetalMusicCanesFootball]

Gaynor?

Besides Burns, which of the potential EEs has actually signed an LOI?

I'd take it easy trying to figure out the starting order. Coming in to this year there was all kinds of speculation about who was the #1 back. Most assumed Yearby would get most of the carries as a returning 1k yd back, and some thought Gus would show up big. I assume Walton will be the guy, but I doubt Richt is afraid to play a younger guy in front of him or put Burns in front of both he and Homer. Not likely, but entirely possible.

Could this have anything to do with the possibility of Slaton and Herbert being in this class? [MENTION=4648]Pete[/MENTION]

Njoku leaving and Haskins has been in the doghouse since he's been here and may be moving to the outhouse. Polendey will likely play in a limited role.
