A 2014 Recruiting Board: Extant, Revamped
Hey kids. I've been fiddling about with tables and have finally gotten the offense together for our 2014 recruiting board. Por ejemplo:
TIGHT END
NEEDS: 1.
STATUS: Check.
COMMITTED | |||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Player | State | Stars | Visit | Offer | Suitors | ||||||||||||||
Ian Bunting | IL | 3.5 | Yes | ND, OSU, USC, OU, VT, Neb, UW, UO | |||||||||||||||
Hello post. Enormous, lanky pass catcher with skillet-sized hands has buckets of potential. Injury shortened both his junior and sophomore years, leading to wide split in rankings. Going to need a lot of weight to block anyone, but lookit dem hands. PYMRMFSPA: Tacopants is real! |
It's a short board, which helped. Now that the formatting is formatted the defense should be along shortly, followed by the burgeoning 2015 class. Note: the recruiting board is a wiki page, which means you can update it if you have 500 points.
The board also lives under the "useful stuff" dropdown.
Jamarco should be a green face fa sho'. I believe in Sam Webb.
I like the layout. I'm leary of the emoticon invasion...
It has always been like that since way back. I think it's almost like a joke thing now, but you get used to it and it grows on you.
Plus I like the name Ned.
EDIT: I could have sworn it used to be Nefarious Ned...
Glad to see this back...good work.
Dave Brandon does not need a section on this wiki page.
When I was an undergrad I was friends with a player named Erik Knuth who had hands like this... it looked like he was perpetually wearing winter gloves on, his hands were huge and thick.
You know what they say about guys with huge and thick hands...
Large wedding bands.
That is to say if they evern wear wedding bands.
Guys with huge and thick hands are more likely than not in the construction business. Very dangerous to wear jewelry of any kind in that profession.
The more you know.

Love the old recruiting board. Glad you're bringing it back, Brian. I think you had it in the Blogspot phase, no? Many ppl will not know the long, illustrious history of the board.
Sad Josh is an oldie but a goodie.
I've been waiting for this. It's hard to keep all the names and offers straight, and to know who is a serious candidate, as well as those who are unlikely to come.
Should i post a comment here?
or on the actual 2014 recruiting board wikipost?
or where do we put comments?
COMMENT EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...but one suggestion: for the "YMRMFSPA" notes, comparing recruits to guys who haven't yet seen the field (for instance, comparing Bushell-Beatty to Tuley-Tillman or Cole to Bosch) isn't that useful.
None of us have seen Tuley-Tillman or Bosch play other than maybe a highlight reel or two of them beating up 220-lb high school defensive linemen. Many of us have read their recruiting reports, so we know what they're supposed to be like, but it still feels like building a projection on top of a projection.
When you build a projection on top of a projection you have more time in the world you created to hide your idea.
You can't be afraid to dream a bit bigger, darling.
it should be noted that i am pretty excited about our tight end situation. funchess, butt and bunting are quite a trio. and who knows who else will be coming in the pipeline.
And saying Butt Bunting Funchess is just fun.
I would expect to receive a commitment from KJ Williams if Scott does not commit, hell we may even take both.
Edit: Why do alot of people expect Hilliman to join the class? I don't doubt them, I just don't remember seeing anything about his favorites.
Hilliman recently put Michigan in his top six or top eight or something like that.
Takin it back to the old school.
'Cause I'm an old fool
Who's so cool
I don't know about the app itself, but it's under the "Useful Stuff" tab at the top of the website.
and the little blue guy. I would also like to add Corey Holmes to the evidence bucket supporting the assertion that "Things Teenagers Say Should Be Taken With a Large Grain Of Salt"
