... though Jefferson actually has been showing more interest than the others. I would say we have a shot at him. The other guys... not holding my breadth.

I'm not saying we CAN'T take these guys. I'm saying that if we do, then don't expect our other offensive skill position commitments to sign with us on signing day...
If Stills signs with us, then ___________________ probably won't.
If Baxters signs with us, then ___________________ probably won't.

EXCELLENT.
I've now heard Sam Webb say that he thinks we will end up with Christian, Grimes, Beachum and Furman. I've also heard some say that we have the inside track with Murphy, and a good chance with Knight.
Now, with all of that being said, the California three is the difference between this being a great class, and a nick saban/pete carrol-like class. Those three have all experienced an interest in going to school together...we're the only school recruiting all three of them...they're all visiting...anything could happen.

When I see it lined up like that...it becomes even more disturbing that we are only signing one OL in the 2010 class. We are gonna have to sign 4 in 2011 to keep the numbers up IMO.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:44 PM ^
we can do that.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:17 PM ^
When people keep saying "No problem, we can easily sign 4 or 5 OL in 2011", keep in mind we may only have 12-15 scholarships to give. So we better be pretty smart with who we accept commitments from.

Christian's coming commit was also verified by Josh Helmoldt on rivals. I love Sam, but scout's mods tend to jump the gun a fair amount on commitments.

imagine...eight defensive backes next season...4 of whom could push for starting jobs immediately...jefferson>smith/williams, knight>kovacs, christian>woolfolk, grimes>floyd (if turner moves to fs).
two lb's that could push for starting jobs immediately...robinson>jones/hawthorne, furman>mouton/leach.
a qb that could push tate for the starting job immediately.
a rb/sr that could push smith/shaw/odoms/roundtree for a starting job immediately.
all that depth across the dline and at reciever.
man oh man would that be a class!

Terrific. Except there is really no possible way we can sign 28. And that "Cali 3" would be great, but I have my doubts.

Once again, thanks for the chart, k06em1. I think you should include a depth chart and a recruiting recap in every single one of your posts. Oh, wait...

For one of the smartest football minds on this blog you sure do get irritated easily.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:28 PM ^
I appreciate the compliment.
I don't really get irritated. I just don't like untruthitudes/ridiculousness. This blog stuff doesn't carry over to my daily life. I still have a smile on my face every day. :o)
