EJ Levenberry Update
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:43 AM ^
Eh, good recruiters leave nothing to chance. They could just be trying to seal the deal rather than come from behind.
Regardless...I think you should give your weekly updates again.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:46 AM ^
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:56 PM ^
Agreed. Also wondering what your contacts think about EJ as a player. Rivals has him as a borderline 5*, while ESPN and 247 rate him much lower.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:48 AM ^
I am trying to remain optimistic but feel like Levenberry is going to FSU especially with so many analysts favoring FSU
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:49 AM ^
AGREE!!!
Please start posting again- I miss your updates!
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:45 AM ^
I second Magnus on this one. I miss your updates man. Screw those haters.
RDT, continue with the updates. The majority here looked forward to them. Although the new avatar is still throwing me off.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:46 AM ^
I'm glad you decided to renounce your earlier decision to cut us off from your updates.
That would be one of my favorite decommitments of all time if he decides to continue his updates. Or I guess a re-commitment to the updates, depending on how you look at it.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
Especially helpful in this scourge of an off-season. You are an asset to the board.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:50 AM ^
I'm not sure anyone will know what's going on here until Tuesday when he announces...but why dont you start posting again?
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:53 AM ^
Think he's all Noles.
EJ is a luxury for the class though, not a necessity. Would much rather have Poggi and another DT/DE type than a SLB given last year's, this year's class.
PS Keep posting RDT. We need something to do besides talk about law school.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:53 AM ^
Please bring back the updates. They are definitely missed.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:54 AM ^
Tuesday can not come soon enough. I am feeling like FSU is the favorite, but hell the speculation is always fun. I hope he goes blue, but in any other case good luck to him where ever he lands at.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:01 PM ^
Missing out on Levenberry would sting doubly because of the LBs we turned away in favor of him.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:05 PM ^
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:21 PM ^
got better after he left, imho.
I served with Ben Gedeon, I knew Ben Gedeon, Ben Gedeon was a friend of mine, and you sir, are no Ben Gedeon.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:02 PM ^
Haters gonna hate. I think it was pretty evident that most of this board really enjoyed your nation-wide perspective on recruiting and learning about some battles the SEC giants were having. Come on back RDT.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:02 PM ^
Someone's going to look pretty stupid on Tuesday, what with all the "insider information" from various sources and boards that have him going to one school or another. We shall see...
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:23 PM ^
"Someone's going to look pretty stupid on Tuesday"......
Agreed. And then come Wednesday people will completely forget who that someone was. Hell weathermen mock recruiting guru's ability to be wrong consistently with no fallout.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:59 PM ^
Maybe Garnett was like this, but I don't remember a recruit where so many insider sources fell on one side or another...RDT isn't alone, Sam Webb sounded pretty positive this morning...but the $ board recruiting sites that AAB is reading have him FSU bound. It just that a lot of people seem really sure that the opposite thing is going to happen from the other.
But recruiting is a numbers game, and quickly forgotten. Today's recruits are tomorrow's players that people are hoping get replaced by the hot prospect NEXT year. (Some of still remember how excited we were to get you Devin....)
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:03 PM ^
Bring back the updates. We need you during these long, boring offseason months.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:03 PM ^
Chances are still 50/50 in my mind! I hope we dont get 'Garnetted' again.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:34 PM ^
That is an exceedingly frail limb out upon which you've ventured...
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:04 PM ^
This is a bit of good news, hopefully. Thanks for the update! Keep em coming!
Also..."prohibitive leader."
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:10 PM ^
he's headed to FSU. he has told several people as much. not enough confidence to BKFinest/Raback it, but confident enough to pass along the info. of course it is possible that the kid had a change of heart.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:15 PM ^
Where have you heard or read he has told people this?
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:21 PM ^
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
no link, unfortunately. just word of mouth.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:26 PM ^
Won't believe it until THE PARTY ROOM comes out and confirms this.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:13 PM ^
Appreciate the info RDT, but this may be par for the course with Jimbo. One of my buddies who is a rabid FSU fan:
"Keep in mind, Jimbo is from the Saban tree and Saban was just scrutinized in the media for writing a recruit like 50 letters in one day. They put the full court press on all the time. For example (although not an ideal outcome), Aaron Lynch was an FSU commitment at the time of the Army AA Game and FSU sent the entire staff to watch the game and was in his hotel meeting with him and his family until ~9pm or so. And for their marquee recruits they still send coaches the maximum amount of times for visits even after they’ve committed. We had a 5* JUCO O-Line commitment last year (turned out he was horrible, but beside the point) and our OL coach was taking weekly flights to North Dakota where his Junior College was. "
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:14 PM ^
Just to be clear, FSU will be visiting EJ's school today to meet with his coaches and, under NCAA guidelines, only incidental contact with the kid is permitted. In home visits are not allowed at this time.
During the incidental contact that coaches are only allowed to basically greet the kid. Jimbo just seems like a guy who might say some extra words to get him.
I'm pretty sure your argument is based on the fact that his name is Jimbo.
No offense to the Jimbos out there, but it seems like a sleazeball name.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:19 PM ^
I'm with everyone else, please bring back the updates RDT. I may not post very much, but as the usual million times a day visitor to MGoBlog, I really enjoyed the content you provided, as did much of the community. You should consider this thread as a petition for you to reinstate the updates from before.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:22 PM ^
Isn't he supposed to announce in April also?
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:22 PM ^
Does anyone know what time EJ is set to announce?
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:54 PM ^
I believe he is announcing at 3pm on Tuesday (tomorrow) at his school.
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:31 PM ^
Keep the updates coming!
April 23rd, 2012 at 12:36 PM ^
A shout out to RollDamnTide, keep up your outstanding work and insight.... don't let others dissuade you. Your material is by far the most interesting to me, as you have a great insight and view.
I completely share your sentiment, especially after having read an article with our beloved TomVh last week.... one could really read between the lines about his and his parents comments, if one puts them into proper context in the visit....
Levenberry is ours.
