2023 JUCO CB

 

6'2" DB. Huge offer list. Out of high school, he was a Miss. State commit, then decommitted - looks to be around the time JoeMo left. Then held offers from WVU, Kentucky, and Florida. Currently, he has a ton of FCS offers and some MAC offers, including the newly destructed KSUcks program. 

 

If I had to guess, I'd be willing to bet he's in the Akron Blue & Gold next fall. Our recent home visits seem to be with commits or recruits where we're their top option. Sort of the "final confirmation you're committing/signing with us in a few weeks," type of visit.

I like this offer. Wiley seems to have plenty of leg strength and accuracy (at least when not pressured). Something our PK’s lacked this past year past 39 yards. Smigel and Perez combined for 5 of 6 when kicking field goals 39 yards and in. 3 for 10 beyond 39 yards.

Looking at his Twitter it seems he's on a lot of teams radars.

Former Florida and Miami (FL) player. Nice offer list. 

I was actually watching his film after we offered Nosike and wondering why we hadn’t offered. Walker is a slim 300lbs and could easily put on another 10-15lbs and move inside to guard. Very athletic for a guy his size.

Spriggs is coming in this weekend as well. He has received offers from Norfolk State and Morgan State since the Zips offered.

 

Looks like this weekend is a big weekend for visits for us. Really want Melvin Spriggs in the Akron Blue & Gold next year. Diamond in the rough.

Not to sound dumb, but what typically goes on when a recruit makes an official visit? Seems like a few are coming this weekend, so what type of things would be happening for them? 

Depends on the school and what is going on during the visit, but it’s a way for the school to roll out the red carpet and put their best foot forward. Prospects will be shown how they will be used in the scheme, shown what life would be like on campus, go to a game (like MBB or another sport that may have a nice turnout), hang with current players, meet with the academic team, etc. Official visits are paid for by the school.
 

Each school pushes whatever is their best selling points. SEC schools do their best to get prospects on campus during the season so they can attend home games and experience the environment. Pregame prep, walk to the stadium, sideline access, etc.

This heavily depends on the coach/program.
