2015 Recruiting Thread

I see 12 min of beast mode. The fact this is all senior film indicates he dominated mostly every game. His explosion off the snap and closing speed is impressive. This kid is a monster amongst children

Yeah, I did not mean for that to be mysterious about Giles

My point was that the reason he is not ranked so high is that he started the year ranked low due to the fact that he had zero junior film for anyone to see.  But, if you look at his senior film, you will see that he is large, has a great first step and frequently blows people up.  I think he has the best first step of any the DTs we have a shot at (even though he may not be ranked as high as some of them).  So, I was encouraging others to look at the highlight film and see if you agree.

FWIW, I see that Coach Traylor's son Jordan is the grad ass't now at UT

ed oliver?

He may be the best DT in state in the last 5 years or more but we never really had a fair shot (nor did anyone else) - he has a brother there + his coach. Add the momentum Herman now has, and we got zero chance.

How long before UTSA offers him?

With the money coach Taylor is making at Texas UTSA better match it

Oh yes we agree. Man he would be a good get. We need some savages.

Juan now you know good and well me reading higs stuff provides me drinking any tequila;(js).I think I'll just enjoy this recruiting season as if I'm watching the NFL draft lol

Thats the fun of it.  I know it really bugs some people.  But that's just how recruiting goes.  You cant boil it down to a spreadsheet and say "this is it absolutely!"

Just does not work that way.

 

[shotime73]

Lol

 

[Juan]

Sounding like DE Alton Robinson (aggy commit we were after) is a no go

 

[Juan]

If those guys want to play early, our depth chart has to look better than LSU's.

LSU has 4 sophomores already penciled into their 2016 2-deep at DT (4-man front)

On top of that, they have commits from 4-stars Edwin Alexander and Glen Logan*.  Plus it seems likely they get 5-star Rashard Lawrence and they still have a shot with 5-star Rashan Gary.  4-star Ross Blacklock was theirs too but he seems to have woken up to this reality and now will go TCU (or perhaps aggy).

I know the SEC loves DTs but this seems kinda crazy.  I have no doubt our recruiters have been pointing this out to Taylor and Giles.

Can add one more player to this LSU DT depth issue -- Christian LaCouture is returning for senior season.

Lol

That's interesting because I'm pretty sure he played QB for Aggie, maybe he can help us sabotage sumlin lol

Sumlin needs no help with that, which I believe was your point!

 

[Juan]

McCollum told aggy he is still solid aggy

But Delance says he is already working on him

And McCollum grew up a Horn

Plus aggy seems to be pretty shaky at the moment

So we will see

Here is something on McCollum from a few days ago

Jordan used to play QB for Aggie it was a matter of time for him to make the move

Clint Hurtt to MIA as DL coach

 

[Bear19]

Clint Hurtt to MIA as DL coach

We heard a while back that CS really wanted Hurtt. Just a couple of days ago we heard that CS had made no push for him.

I wonder why? We need all the help recruiting we can get. Perhaps would not have helped for this year but certainly would in the future.

 

[Juan]

He is getting close to hitting the time needed for the NFL pension
