I'm not too good with spotting football talent. How much does this hurt us?
It's a guy a lot of emphasis was put on, so there's both public embarrassment and the opportunity cost of all that time spent, but the fact is it's a lot worse to lose a kid to Indiana or Minnesota or Nebraska than Yale.
There are and will continue to be a lot more Juan Harris' on our board than Micah Awodiran's. To the extent individual recruiting battles are a bellwether, the former kind are the ones to look to.
We've been getting depantsed in the former kind. That's the stuff to freak out about, not this.
The 2017 class is looking like a disaster, but this specific recruitment is a relatively minor reason why.
Anyone think the staff sets sights a little bit lower for the rest of the recruiting period to at least get some bodies in this class? There have to be some potential guys out there who are very good athletes but just need football skills coaching who have maybe been overlooked by P5 schools. I'm sure many would jump at the chance to work under this staff and at least we won't have a nearly empty class. Then really focus on building relationships for that '18 class.
Doubt our staff would have even recruited him if he was from out of state, fwiw.

I don't know who I'm looking at
Chit my bad. Carmoni Green posted this on Twitter. As you can see, that's an Illinois hat.
FYI, he's deciding by end of the month

I'm not sure who else is in the hunt on this one. 247 page says Oregon State maybe? This kid is all over the O&B love on Twitter (and not really elsewhere). If he doesn't end up in Champaign I will be confused.
In any event - definitely a nice player to get if possible.
