I think the last guy we got from out west was RB Taylor Rank.

I love the caliber of guys we have committed but can we please sign a top rated, highly sought after QB RB and/or WR.

I rarely hear about highly recruited guys at those positions this cycle. Only one I can think of is Preston Williams and he's been all over the place.

USC will sign 2 very good backs and the receiver haul will be ridiculous.

Can't say about QB bc Mangus plays things so close to the vest. Once again though it appears he is going to strike out on his #1 choice (Wimbush).

Who are you thinking for running backs? I would like for us to get Bryce Love and Scarlett, the guy committed to FAU currently.

I think that would make for a good 1-2 punch. Are there other guys we are in it with?

Are we going after instate Ty'son Williams very hard? At 5'11" 200lb seems like the type of back we usually prefer.

Pretty sure mike davis is 5'10 and was around 200 when he was a freshman

Ty'son's name rings a bell so I guess we are after him as well. I have not heard much about him on the recruiting trail.

Out of Crestwood in Sumter.Has alot of very good offers.

[BornCocky'86]

Looking for that WR who is 6'3" or taller. Yes smaller WRs have worked for us but a taller one will provide additional favorable matchups. We got good TEs put Busta in there at wideout

CB says 90% to UGA. I don't get it. They never stop getting stellar RBs

As far as OL recruiting goes, Veal is off the board, but there are still some good names left there. Bailey, McGirt, Burrell, Clark, Giella, and Lemeiux, although Lemeiux is basically committed at this point.

In regards to Ty'Son Williams, he is scheduled to be in today for junior day, but at this point I have yet to see anything to confirm he made it in.

Who all was in today for the junior day??

[BornCocky'86]

I'm fairly certain Ty'son Williams did make it

[Cockypantherfan]

Seems like our junior day was pretty quiet. No new commits I assume?

[CoverTwo]

Our staff has to quit having these events during regional camp events. I find it impossible that they don't know when these things are occurring. Poor planning.

It's also stupid that it took until late march to host the first junior day. Other programs have had 2 or 3 by now.

Completely agree. I said the same thing earlier in a thread and it may have been this one. It's bad enough they waited until the last Saturday of March but doing it the same day as a regional camp?

Don't understand that at all.

Ty'son Williams is an elite RB prospect. That film is impressive. We could really use a guy like him.

He did make it and it sounds like we made a big move with him.

Yeah, it's very, very unlikely that we're going to land a 4-star QB in this class. We're not in the mix for any outside of a fading shot at Wimbush. Ideally, you'd want to land an elite QB prospect every cycle, but very few programs pull that off. (I REALLY wanted Barker in the last cycle and we finished second for him...oh well.) I'm not concerned about the future at QB, though. I think we're in great shape with Mitch, Nosovitch, Scarnecchia (really underrated, based on his reel), and even Orth, who is coming on strong.

I'm just now looking at Daniel David, since he made it for our junior day event. He's a 3-star, based on 247s composite ranking. Maybe he's next in line after Wimbush.
