That'll teach me to follow a recruit that hasnt committed yet.
At least we aren't qualifying it as a nut punch.

Aaron Moorehead had a meltdown on Twitter, accelerating the decommitment of a few recruits at Texas A&M.

I remember around Lovie staff hiring that he was not well regarded by some.

That's alot of drama. I'm not sure how I feel about the decommitments but Aaron should know better. I appreciate Lovie keeping things quiet and not public.

In the last 4 yrs I've been watching the recruiting from afar ,following the coaches on Twitter , watching all the gossip and so on. What is different about this staff is that all of these coaches, especially on Twitter are following as many coaches as players . I think this shows the mentality of these coaches and that they get it. I think we will do better recruiting this year but the foundation that these coaches are putting in place could set us up extremely nicely in the years to come. I like many others I'm sure hate this slow time , o well how's the saying go, good things come to those who wait.

This is really depressing. We get Lovie and everyone seems to love Lovie. Kids have been gushing over the guy, and then they commit elsewhere.
He has committed anywhere.....

He hasn't committed anywhere yet. It also might be a good time to revisit how large a project you believe this football program to be. Lovie was an out of this world hire, but nothing short of Nick Saban or Urban Meyer was going to make a huge splash in the 2017 class.

Aye aye aye! Unrealistic expectations. We're not going to corner the market. Recalibrate. Kid hasn't committed.
Yeah, he hasn't committed yet. We have time but he is certainly one I would love to get.

6.4 ypc on 123 career rushes and 5 TDs at OU, grad transfer. 2 KR TDs, 53 returns. Not much of a pass catcher (11 rec). Has been an All American as a kick returner (2014, 2nd team).
Would fill two pretty big needs for us!

He may want to go somewhere that he can be the #1 rb and I dont think he would be here. But he can definitely be the 1KR if he wants.
Yeah, we'll see. Seems like someone Garrick could go talk to, seeing as they share OU as an Alma Mater.

Ross has broken off some huge runs in his career, definitely a playmaker. Has had rushes of 82, 54, 50, 42, 38, and 34 yards. On the other hand that would seem to indicate he isn't consistently getting yardage on every carry.
My buddy coaches down Okeechobee, Florida and this massive 2019 recruit just committed to Alabama. My buddy said he's a sure fire top 20 recruit, and potential starter as a freshman. Evan Neal is 6'6 350 pounds already. MASSIVE

Are we really going to start this already? Illini fans laid down incredibly unrealistic expectations for Groce. Let's not make the same mistake here.
Of course we are. That's what we do.

I would not confuse the general fan population with this board.
