zzx Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Noticed that Owen Murphy, a lineman from St Ignatius that has a preferred walk-on offer from Ohio State, has been followed by potential assistant coach Zagorski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Early signing period begins tomorrow and runs through Friday. Total shot in the dark, but I'm setting the O/U for early signees at 6, which may include some non-qualifiers/greyshirts from last year's class like Sibley and Phillis. Also, a good thing for at least this year - and kind of expected - the spring roster shows Featherstone, Lloyd, and Robbie Kelley. So looking at 3 less schollies to fill and have quality players using them, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Keep an eye on this guy. New staff offered him (also recruited at UT-C). 3 years to play 2. https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Koby-Perry-121065/RecruitInterests/ Another one we just offered that Arth was recruiting at UT-C. Looks like 3 years to play 3. Apparently originally at OK St. https://247sports.com/player/james-lewis-83495/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Looks like we offered this guy who was also recruited by UT-C. Has offers from UAB and Ark State as well. Most important thing here IMO is him tagging Davern Williams, as that would indicate he will be on the staff. He's been brought up before by I think @zzx, but he was at EMCC on Last Chance U, with Arth's staff at UT-C. Seems like a good coach and recruiter. UT-C's biggest recruits, where they really seemed to punch above their weight, last year were Dlineman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sure, maybe in a wannabe-NFL-Draft sorta way - similar to the guest announcer in the 7th round who won a contest. They got Johnny Manziel's CFL teammate to do a low-rate video. Congrats.

94zipgrad Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Looking back @Blue & Gold list for this class it may be a wise decision to get Mounds interviewed & hired ASAP. Most these recruits this year look like DB’s from Florida from his recruiting area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Mounds was such a good recruiter that our roster, IMHO, was getting too top-heavy in the defensive backfield. How many DB's do we need? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the others guys are either likely walk ons or have only played safety up until this point. FWIW - Denzel Butler was listed as a Redshirt Jr. on the 2018 roster, but isn't on the 2019 spring roster. I think we need some depth at CB, whether it be new signees or players switching positions.

With the lack of corners, it would be a great opportunity for any of the CB recruits to step into and possibly get significant playing time as a freshman or maybe even start as a freshman Edited December 19, 2018 by zzx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the process can be smothering and annoying, but that's not a good enough reason to hose college programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that situation happened, I feel said players should be able to withdrawal their commitment if they wish to do so without penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
