Title: I'm the BAGMAN!
Post by: wesfau2 on April 26, 2021, 02:07:57 PM
This is the closest I've been to the recruiting process.  My nephew (my older sister's kid) has a step-brother (his dad's new marriage) that is highly recruited.  He's gotten a UGA and FSU offer to go with this nugget:

Can he play TE?  If so, can we move him from there?  Asking for a friend.

I sure hope this guy has your frame and speed.

With the offers he's getting, he must be pretty damn skippy.  I'm just glad to see some different recruiting tactics going on.  I could be wrong, but I don't recall us offering very many guys this early in their HS careers.  The occasional player going into their junior year.  Also, I posted a while back, quoting a recruiting piece that said Harbinz already had offers out to something like 70 offensive linemen around the country for next year.  It's a given that without quality big uglies in the trenches, you're only gonna' go so far.  Glad he gets it.

And this man knows a lot about quality big uglies.

To this point (early offering), a frosh QB from Gulf Breeze got a LOT of Bobo's attention yesterday and was told that the staff would be in touch with him after the camp.  Ditto two DBs that spent a lot of time with Zac Etheridge.

Nephew had nothing but positive things to say about the coaches, especially Schmedding. He also says that Tank is HUGE.

They offered Bobo's son yesterday.  He's a 6'5" 280 3* O-lineman.  Already has an offer from FUGA, so despite how much a loathe the pups, that tells me a lot.

Absolutely nothing.

Exactly.

Unless we need to funnel money to the kid.  Then we have a long-standing relationship and he's like a son to me.

Latest update: Kid hated Bama.  Said the vibe was awful there.  Loved Vandy.

Loved Vandy.
That’s interesting.
A place where it doesn’t matter if you play well, you’re still gonna tote a proverbial ass whipping every game.
Love your body. Go elsewhere. Love the school. I would have gone there had they gave me a scholly. But not if AU had offered the same.

They are investing $300MM in their facilities and the kid recognizes the value of that Vandy paper.

That Vandy “paper “ has always had the same value.
That beat up ass may not let you bounce dem babies on that knee.

I don't get the condescension.  The kid isn't a dyed-in-the-wool AU fan, so he's going where he fits.  A Vandy degree is substantially more valuable than an Auburn degree, generally speaking.  So he might never win an SEC game.  As the old Vandy chant goes: That's alright, that's ok, you're gonna work for us some day.

If the kid had his druthers, he'd be Clemson bound, but Vandy is his #2 as of now.

Not an issue. But it will come at a more physical price. Smaller school players always take a physical beating from the bigger schools.

Interesting note from Zav's Note Dame visit:

He loved it,  has the offer and was ready to commit on his visit.   The coaches said.... hold up,  son.  Wait a bit before you do.

Turns out he ran a bad 40 that day and they said that when he comes back,  if his speed is where they think it should be,  then he can commit.

And people wonder why the kids don't have any allegiance to a school.

Update from the recruiting trail:

Looks like it's a two-way race for the commit: Auburn v.....KANSAS?!?!?

Yep.  They showered him with love and showed him the $400MM facility upgrade in the works.  That plus playing time has his attention.  Cons: too far from momma and...well...it's Lawrence, fucking Kansas.

The AU staff has really stepped up their attention and are courting momma hard as well.  He'll be at A-Day and will make a decision pretty soon.  He's burnt out on the whole recruiting process.

There is no way that Snakebite can come in here and almost immediately walk away with dumbest post honors.

With the likes of CTEAU, GH and Snags still around?

I mean, you are giving him waaaaaay too much credick.

Don't doubt my ability to go full on "I Am Sam" on your asses.  I still rightly don't know what the fuck Wes was talking about, but I kinda doubt he does either at times, which makes me feel better.

Well yeah.  Anyone who drives their kid around in a golf cart, blasting out that head banger, hippie music, can't have a lot of functioning brain cells left.  Who are ya', Beevis or Butthead?

I am Randy Marsh if we get right down to it.  I absolutely love the cooking channel if you catch my drift.

Also, it is "Gall Cark".

I need to make a visit to Tegridy Farms.  I'd like a tour on the gall cark.

We were down at Destin last weekend, and the place we stayed had one.  I think we got in the truck one time to hit a restaurant.  Otherwise, the cark was the way to go.

Welcome any time!  Ours is better suited for off road adventures, which pairs well with my redneck roots. 

Between the loud mud tires and the zooming through the neighborhood with a beer in hand behind the wheel, I think I have become quite popular.

I have derailed Wes's sister's uncle's cousin's friend, twice removed, thread enough.  Is he going to Vandy or what?
