Recruiting chat 12/5

[caneallday21]

Off topic (unless Richt would shock me and consider bringing him back), but any idea on where Bruce may head after this semester?

Its already reported he's going JUCO

 

[IllinoisCane]

Hey Pete - what are your thoughts on Shawn Davis? Any chance on getting an OV? Future position - CB or FS? Do you like him better that Collier?

 

[Peter Ariz]

Overall what grade would you give this recruiting class based on how you think we will finish? And can you compare it to the last few years and how next years class is shaping up

I'll do a full write-up on this after the class is complete, but they are really making that front 7 ELITE.

Need a big time safety and one more corner who can play right away. But this class is almost a failure to me without the Heritage linemen at this point.

Richt Discusses Recruiting Needs

That kid is all UF. Big miss... I like him at FS

 

[Carlcane]

If not ***an, then who is the kid the staff is waiting on to make an offer or is there not a particular recruit? Will they wait until the middle of January to see where all the numbers shake out, since Collier seems to want to go to the U before giving him the offer

If we land Donaldson, Slaton, Herbert, Hillary and Dykstra, who do you envision will be our starting o line next year?

 

[Peter Ariz]

Any chance of Shawn Davis

What % of Mckitty? Seems like 50/50

McKitty probably more like 60/40 FSU

 

[caneaddict]

your way out of left field 4 or 5 star shot

 

[Hoosiercane3]

Pete-% On Jeudy and Mckitty.

Thanks!

 

[Peter Ariz]

If we land Donaldson, Slaton, Herbert, Hillary and Dykstra, who do you envision will be our starting o line next year?

Donaldson, Slaton, Gauthier, Darling, St. Louis... with Herbert and McDermott in the rotation as well. I'm not saying that's how they will be aligned but to me, those will be the best 5

 

[252cane]

Why havent the staff made a play for naytron culpepper?

 

[01Canes]

With OL/WR/DB questions for the 2017 class already answered...

Which of the following 2018 QB recruits Miami has offered do they covet the most: Jarren Williams, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Casey Thompson, or Artur Sitkowski?

Off topic (unless Richt would shock me and consider bringing him back), but any idea on where Bruce may head after this semester?

I read that he is going to a Juco in Mississippi.

Are there names being floated around as serious options that we don't know about?? If so what do they play, are they considered an "elite" prospect, and where do we stand

I think his offer is inevitable based on how they are handling his recruitment. Very rarely do you see coaches give a kid this much attention (school, game, in-home visits) without giving an offer.

 

[CaneSB]

Haven't heard much about JU O LB Gary Johnson. Is he still on the radar?

 

[Blim132]

Is McFarland an EE?

I've been told yes, but haven't been given names. More will continue to emerge like we saw last week...

Does the class become a success with the Heritage linemen?
