Don't like coach Ward's latest tweet.


Loyalty is like finding a mate these days, it's hard to find...

Well, if it's in regard to a current recruit, I'd say maybe an in-state guy isn't coming here or Carmoni Green is about to de-commit.

It could be Geeen. If he sees Jeff Thomas, Ricky smalling, Reggie Roberson and whoever else, maybe he doesn't want all that competition. Granted two of those aren't even in the fold yet.

True, also he has to know that we need WRs like crazy for this new offense. He would be on the ground floor of that and be able to get playing time early.

UNC has 2 3* WRs already in the fold so there will be competition anywhere.

Hopefully he holds to his verbal.

With all the positive recruiting push of the staff having a lot of face to face interaction.

I'm very curious as to who/what this is in reference too.

Yeah, I hope Green stays. Maybe a potential coaching change would sway him. Is Fedora getting any looks by other schools on the carousel?

I would not be shocked if Fedora ends up at Baylor. From Texas and coached five years there.

Does anyone know who is visiting this weekend? Seeing as how the NLI signing date is December 14th for mid-year JUCO transfers, wouldn't this be a good weekend for the guys we are targeting to visit?

Green and Carney are listed as visitors although I wonder if Green will show up?

Kendrick Green should be visiting as well. I noticed on his twitter account that he has a picture of him with Lovie.

He just visited Iowa this weekend.

I would bet if Carney comes, Green will be with him on the trip.

Per Twitter it's said that Lovie with a few other coaches ALL went to visit a premier Florida DE.

From how it was written....it doesn't sound like it was Carney.....maybe some new prospect in the fold??

Owen Carney re-tweeted it so it was probably him.

Wow I'm a big fan of that prospect :D

He brings the lumber and looks very athletic:eek:

Looks like he committed initially out of High School to Western Michigan as wide receiver(or they switched him to wide receiver) and is currently committed to Arizona but seems to be shopping around. Great size 6'2 230.

Looks like he may have grown into an uber athletic linebacker
