autan 737 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 1 hour ago, WarDamnEagleWDE said: I've been around recruiting for 20 years. I mean in the trenches. And I can tell when something is off. AU should not have to put the effort into Ashley like they are right now if everything was good. And when kids are on the fence like this, usually isn't good for the school who the kid is comitted to. A comitted kid would want the school to move on to other kids. I may have misunderstood you WDE, but I thought I read somewhere that you were concerned about KJ (as well). I assume that would be Britt, but I thought he was already signed and participated in Dec. practices. Hopefully I'm just confused or paranoid but could you clear that up?

AUwent 3,748 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 ^^It sounded very cryptic; a previous post alluded to a "misunderstanding." When does the dead period end? When it does, CHH needs to give him full court, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. we were talking about THE Kerryon Johnson recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some valid, some not. Criticizing him for his recruiting would be one of those nonvalid arguments. Gus has gotten us a top ten recruiting class virtually every year he has been head coach, except for maybe his first year when Chizik's firing caused a complete dumpster fire. Still had a top 10 class then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaitopher 807 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 So if the day passes and we hear nothing can we just assume the Maryland insiders are just FOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,651 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This staff's inability to land an elite tackle is getting similar to it's inability to land top linebackers a few years ago. We're raking in the guards and project players, but can't seem to land a McNeil/Robinson/Ziemba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 737 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Ryan Bartow CB'd him to MD today. That got my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I've always gotten the feeling that Calvin is like Carl. The rumors swirl around him but he has made up his mind and is a man of his word. I'll certainly take his direct tweet over some sports talking head's crystal ball pick.

I will save E the effort of replying to this and say that it doesn't matter what national recruiting analysts think - you look at the insiders for that particular program. I will add to E's statement that in this particular matter, it doesn't even matter what the local insiders think because apparently all the Maryland guys are FOS too.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Here's my take: at least it gave me a little distraction from work today! Whenever I was bogged down writing or dreading a call, I popped in to see if IT had happened yet. Tomorrow? I have no idea what I'll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it doesn't matter, but some here seemed to imply that it was all a Maryland insiders conspiracy. I doubt Bartow would base his CB reputation on that. Do hope he is wrong on this one.

Why do you think Calvin would post "I'm 110% committed" and "#WDE", half an hour ago, if he was even considering Maryland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me this drama is far from over. I kind of echo WDE's concerns about Ashley's commitment. His commitment may stick today, but what about tomorrow....or NSD?
