Title: Okay Gurus...
Post by: Snaggletiger on January 05, 2012, 04:55:19 PM
When do they start up that recruiting shit again?  How far out are we...one month?  Is it open season on contacting recruits again?  How many more slots do we have?  It's not early anymore...I need info...answers...chubb material.

On a side note.  Did anyone watch the Under Armour QB competition?  Let me give you my armchair QB prediction.  Whoever winds up with Jameis Winston (sp?) and IF he does play foosballz...the rest of the country better watch the frick out.  Just....WOW.  We better up the standard $180K offer to at least $200K.....and some hookers...and blow...or maybe hookers that blow...and blow.

This is not chubb-worthy...but good info just the same.  Good to know.  Last night, they had the competition where they run across the moving targets at 20, 30 & 40 yards.  QB has to run to 3 stations and throw 3 balls at each distance.  Winston went last and nailed everyone.  Then you take the last ball and heave it down field.  He took his time, walked over to the crowd, danced and juked, grabbed the ball and flicked it about 27 bwazillion yards.  Winner winner chicken dinner.

After the Yeldon flip, I haven't been paying attention to recruiting. 

Winston is going to be awesome.  I wish we could land him, but if he doesn't play MLB, then I think he is bammers to lose.  I know he is committed to FSU, but think he would flip to them. 

I read that Pike had a rough day yesterday but was throwing a good deep ball and progressing.

Seeing that LSU and Bammer only have like 5 slots left between them, and we have some nice looking players left with AU on their list, I think we close pretty strong.

I think he is 100% FSU. He wants to play baseball and football, and I just don't see that happening at Alabama. Plus Alabama has a shitty baseball team.

Which is exactly what Coach sabbin and the rec is selling him on.

If I was Winston, I'd go to Stanford....or sign a Multi-Million dollar contract to play Baseball, then if that doesn't work out after a few years, pick whichever University then.

No one expected Yeldon to flip either, but he did.

He'll flip.

You bet he will.  He was working on Yeldon and admitted as much to a reporter.  Said he was trying to get TJ to flip.  Considering where TJ went I don't think he meant to FSU either.  Kid is a bama lock.

Yep

If he flips to bammer that will be a good thing for us and the rest of the SEC.  Black QB at bammer = no playing time as a QB when games still matter.

I heard a crootin' guru saying that fans talk about croots changing their minds, but the fact is that better than 80% of verbal commits honor their first commitment, and the one's that don't usually change because of a coaching change, or NCAA troubles.   So, Yeldon, falls within the first catagory.  However, what's curious is that rare as it is, it's happened with 3 players switching from Auburn to bammer at the last minute.  Yet, no press, no Finebaum crying foul at all.

Another shocking development...the kid from LA that committed to bammer last nigh, the one with the mother that didn't like that?  Turns out his girlfriend has been given a scholarship to bammer too.  Per the guys doing the hour show after fartbomb from NO on WJOX today.
