2024 Recruiting Thread

Best way to develop players is to recruit players that don’t much developing. This kid looks like one of those. As long as he keeps himself out of trouble, he will likely end up in the league

Every high school player needs development. As I have pointed out, he'd have to screw up or get injured to not get to the league. It's whether you go to the league with tens of millions guaranteed or not.

BV has done pretty well with DL, Muleshoe hasn't done shit for any defensive position. We need to land David Stone in this class though. It's hard to get a kid out of their home State{See Colton Vasek). And when money bags are dropped it's even harder. I'm numb to it after the DJ Hicks thing last year. Nwarni is going to be a stud and wished we have him. But I'm not going to dwell on it like Georgia fan.

If "dwell on it means" discuss it on a sports board, then sure. I stated my points and shared some UGA board info. If you don't want information like that, Ignore me. We have been and will be fine at DL. Damn, I've even been sticking up for Venables in the thread.

lol feels like you are taking this more personally than ou fans even.. UGA will be ok, not sure you need to bring up all the other guys name when we are just talking about this kid.

He lives in Missouri.. he lives an hour and a half away. Sometimes it's simpler than we think.

Saw this on twitter as well

LOL, or maybe it is that simple ... from On3 ... " Let’s start with the Williams Nwaneri commitment yesterday. In the end, Missouri came as a surprise to no one. I’m sure the NIL laws in the Show Me State helped out but I think another thing that played a big role in this is the toll the recruiting process took on the family. Based on a few murmurs that I’ve heard, all of the travel and the time commitment wore the Nwaneri circle down and staying closer to home became pretty attractive in the end."

They did play well that day. Like I said, if they get any help offensively and with ST, they are in that game. They held KSU to 4.01 ypp the first 3 quarters. That is elite defense. They were also probably gassed because of all those consecutive INT's and having to be on the field the entire 2nd half. Even including the 4th qtr scores they still held KSU below their season averages in ppg and ypg(by a lot).

So then you'd agree that OSU's defense actually played really well against michigan last year then. I mean, michigan ran 62 plays, and on 57 of them they averaged less than 3.5 ypp, but 5 out of 62 plays were clearly very fluky, highly unlikely big plays. If 4.01 ypp is elite, then what OSU did on 92% of michgan's plays that day was ultra-elite, no?
 
hasn't BV so far, two cycles in.. only recruited/currently committed.. have 2 top 300 DL kids? And one of them transferred this past spring after signing in the early period... He really needs to get Stone on board

BTW the graphic I shared just shows that regardless of coaches.. Mizzu still has had good DL players who got drafted in the first rd. I get it, I don't like them either, but they are entitled to bluechips like the rest of us

Those aren't really the same situations though. At halftime OSU was giving up 8.78 ypp. After 3 quarters OSU was giving up 8.26 ypp. Basically double what Missouri was giving up. If you want me to exclude big plays for Kansas State against Missouri, I can certainly do that.

Right, but the overwhelming majority of the plays that day didn't amount to much for michigan so I'm excluding them, just like you're excluding two 60+ yard Q4 TD drives because Missouri "gave up" while also basically disregarding the 2 TD drives KSU had before Missouri even committed their first turnover.

Oh and FYI, Kansas State's longest play of the game wasn't even 30 yards, so I'm not sure what you would be excluding there.

Yeah, osu was elite on however many plays in that game. The difference is spanning those first 3 quarters they also gave up a shit ton of big plays, and also a long sustained drive.

I'm not disregarding the first two TD's KSU scored. That's baked into the ypp stats from the first three quarters overall. I'm not disregarding the 4th quarter TD's, but it's clear those were already with the game in hand. Just like the last TD OSU gave up against Michigan because the game was over.

By "shit ton of big plays" do you mean 3? Because that's all they gave up the first 3 quarters.

You're absolutely disregarding the Q4 TDs by excusing them away. Did the defense give up those drives? Yes. If your insinuating it's somehow not their fault, then you're excusing them away. If you're saying they gave up, then they're not a good defense. Either way, they weren't good that day no matter how you want to excuse KSU's offensive performance away.

They were outside the top 25 in total defense and outside the top 50 in ppg allowed. They were a decent defense, but not good, and certainly not one of the best as mutiger suggested.

Mizzou has a chance to be pretty good this season, just needs a QB to step up

Are you "offended" every time you post about a recruit? No one is offended. Just discussing the recruiting of the no. 1 player in the country.
 
Michigan is taking a giant kick to the nuts currently

Rudolph flipped to Miami last week and now the Smith brothers, their 2 highest ranked defensive recruits are being predicted to flip to Kentucky

Harbaugh is the gift that keeps giving. If there was ever any doubt that he was going to the NFL, him not getting the 4 game suspension is the nail in the coffin. Like coaches before him - USC, Oregon - he's gone after this year so that anything the NCAA does won't matter.

Does the NFL really want him though? He's comically botched his last 2 attempts to jump back in. I'd be shocked if he's back at Michigan next year though. He might just hang it up. The NCAA stuff looming and Michigan is in for a massive rebuild next year. For a guy who seems to be "tired" of the college game all together, that's not appealing to come back to.
 
The talk early in this thread about how Harbaugh was now owning Day and the "tables were turning" in recruiting as well has really aged well
