This bigger recruiting footprint is already paying off. Denmark is a few minutes from me in Alpharetta, GA. Same school Capers went to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Apparently the staff isn't interested in Shor. New staff has not contacted him. All per JLee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 738 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Very surprising to say the least. I don't know if we have an OL on the roster rated as high. I'm sure there are 5* guys that our staff likes better. But a 4* 6'-6 300 Legacy that bleeds O & B. Come on guys!! I had him penciled in. We'll probably end up with some low 3* projects. UAT has offered and will probably get Shor if they really push. Reminds of another OL snubbed by us that Tide signed a few years ago. Became an All-American. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been said many times but bears repeating here. Recruiting sites' ratings does not mean coaching staffs have the same ratings. 50 minutes ago, autan said: Reminds of another OL snubbed by us that Tide signed a few years ago.

Dayne is going to have to prove himself to ours & many staffs coming off the injury & that's only fair for all parties involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bigger recruiting footprint is already paying off. I have stated for years on a semi-joking/semi-serious note that we need to be in the pacific islands recruiting OL. Those dudes are huge and sumo wrestling has a lot of similarities to run blocking. As well as central Africa for WRs. Athletic 7 footers ought to win their fair share of jump balls.

We likely don't have the patience for someone who might still be recovering. Don't know the reason but as of now we're not recruiting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand Staff waiting to see how he recovers but you still need to keep the communication open. Especially with a Legacy that likes Auburn. Keep communication open but explain we have to see how you have recovered and how you look before we can give you a committable offer. Call a lot and check on his health that shows interest without commitment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auhud08 596 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 So i think this is the first real mistake this staff has made (thats public). You have a major position of need, you have a kid who would likely be extremely loyal should he commit, you get momentum from having a 4* OT commit, but you can still sell other kids in playing time by saying “hey look Shor is hurt, we’re hoping hes back in a year or so youre probably ahead of him” (I know a coach would likely never get that specific, but you get the point). Other than 1 recruiting spot- what did you have to lose? This is an easy win. Dont make it a glaring loss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't think he has the quickness, feet, or athleticism to play OT. And the staff has a number of OGs higher on the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall if I mentioned this on here previously or not. One of my clients has a Big 12 official who I've dealt with on occasion. Before a meeting one time one of the other guys was asking him how they call certain things and what they look for and the topic of holding came up. I made a comment about DB being double-teamed and held almost every play. His response was basically he's usually the best player on the field and he's good enough that it shouldn't matter if he's held or not. That's not verbatim, but the basic gist of it was they aren't going to throw a flag on it on every single play when the player is that good. That response was surprising, but based on what we saw his senior year, definitely believable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
