Final 8...

[CDBHawg]

Any guesses?


Kyle Porter
Kristian Fulton(if he signs with LSU, then Tyell Alexander)
Dee Walker
Tyrie Cleveland
Joseph Putu
Micahh Smith
Paul Ramirez
DE(secret visitor)

Also think we get Tulley-Tillman as a grad transfer.

[RaisinHog]

I think u can remove alexander

I think that is the best guess I can come up with, I FIFY!

That would be as strong a finish as we could hope for. 

I think we land these 5 this weekend:

Kyle Porter
Dee Walker
Micahh Smith
Joseph Putu
Paul Ramirez

And that's a nice haul.  I think Walker and Putu will be real contributors, and we all believe Porter will be a stud.  I don't know enough about the other two, but I really like how our coaches evaluate.

The remaining 1-3 will make NSD exciting.  I'd love to have 1 more OT (probably not happening unless you count Tillman) and 1 more CB (hopefully Fulton).  Sounds like we could get another DE, too. 

Cleveland would just be gravy added to a WR group that already looks scary.  Hoping we hold on to Pollard.

Love this time of year!

Tyrie Cleveland
Kris Fulton
Kyle Porter
Chris Daniels
Paul Ramirez
Joseph Putu
Dee Walker
Olineman or put it in your pocket

I think you're going out on a limb there with Daniels, but who knows.  I hope you're right.

[Rockhawg]

Aint over til it's over

[Großer Kriegschwein]

I got a weird feeling that we're not thru with Daniels just yet. Remember they said the in-home visit went MUCH better than expected.

[hogcam]

Chris Daniels is not coming here. That is fact.

[presidenthog]

Chris Daniels is not coming here. That is fact.

this. poorly calculated move. bret thought, like many here, that he would commit when he was offered and it just didn't happen. too little too late. it is ok.

[hawginbigd1]

Chris Daniels is not coming here. That is fact.

Make your case for this being a fact! Not saying your wrong, but make the case why anyone should believe you. Facts have supporting evidence, this is how they can become facts!

[hogcam]

For 1, Richard said there's no chance. 2, he didn't official visit here. 3, the coaches know he is not coming here

1. See RDs post in other thread.
2. Precedent exists that this could be irrelevant.
3. Support this statement as fact.

Adding Putu, Ramirez, porter, smith, and walker today would move us from ranked 22 in 247 composite rankings all the way up to ranked 20.

Amazing we could add five kids and move up just two spots.

If we sign everybody remaining that we want badly, 14 to 17 is the best we can be. Will be a huge class and will be hoping for a 15!

Otis (I know) said he thinks we get the 5 guys I mentioned and flip the secret DE.  That would be 23 commits.  The Michigan transfer would be 24.

That leaves 1 spot left.  Wouldn't leave room for all the guys we want badly without dumping some others.

Tillman doesn't count against the 25, only the 85.

[Music City Hog]

I know but would likely make this class one shorter to accommodate for that schollie

Link?

I just went back and looked. No RD post to that effect.

[Richard_white]

The Michigan transfer doesn't count towards the 25 but towards the 85s scholarships.

I suspect we have a handful of people leave this summer when he gets here, so won't be an issue.

[ricepig]

See my post above

Or, theoretically, someone else leaves opening a spot in the 85. I think we only sign 24, though.

He did say it, on a wholehogsports comment response or a tweet response, but even he says you never know what might happen.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

I think it was something to the effect of "I don't think he even knows what he wants to do."

[hawginbigd1]

I was thinking 24 until the Smith offer, now I think we take 25.

You don't have to believe me. But with everything out there, you have to be the biggest homer or sunshine pumper to believe that we have a chance.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

I think you have homer and sunshine pumper mistaken with optimist.

Yeah, you can spot a really negative person when they use words with negative connotations to describe someone who is positive.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Everyone likes being around someone that is negative, right?

I mean, they are so much fun to be around. They get all the women, and keep them, and have all the friends, and money.........

[presidenthog]

look I'm usually not negative but I agree with him. people need to let this one go. they are acting like spurned lovers who can't believe they got left.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

I agree its not likely, but not impossible. I suppose if it did happen I would be "pleasantly surprised", but not completely shocked. Make sense?

I'm holding out, nor do I think anyone else is, but there is something odd about the whole thing.

[Wildhog]

I don't like making predictions, because you just never know what these kids are going to do, but...

1. Putu
2. Smith
3. Porter
4. Ramirez
5. Walker
6. Transfer Logan Tuley-Tillman
7. They seem pretty intent on bringing in another DE

Anything beyond that is gravy. I think we might get one of Bundage/Jones/Fulton/Cleveland/Alexander. Getting two would be incredible.

I'm not even holding out any hope. I don't even think about him except for when I see all of these people who can't believe a hog lover isn't a hog. it's time to just move on.

[hogcam]

Yeah, you can spot a really negative person when they use words with negative connotations to describe someone who is positive.

Go look through my posts and you will literally never see me being negative. But when I know for a fact that we aren't getting a recruit I will let people know. They don't have to believe me. But how people still believe we have a decent chance at Daniels is just laughable and they are going to be let down

[Scott7703]

We take both Fulton and Cleveland if they come after getting all the guys this weekend

[Music City Hog]

Well I know that, but it would require bumping someone else if we did get all the guys Otis predicts from this weekend

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Pollard?

[Music City Hog]

Pollard?

Perhaps, but I hope not. 

[Bubba's Bruisers]

It's just gone so quiet on him, and when that happens, it's usually not good.

[Music City Hog]

Agreed, but he's gone quiet to Carolina as well it seems which gives me hope.

[Dominicanhog]

 IMO.. if we can, we sign 3 more OL's... Porter, Fulton, Cleveland, Putu, and a late flip...

I'll update with next thread...

[Music City Hog]

Am I missing an OL other than Ramirez that's still on the board?   We have a potential transfer, but as far as next Wednesday who have I missed?

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Would love 3 more OL, but who after Ramirez and Tillman?

[ricepig]

Nobody

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Nobody

Certainly seems that way doesn't it.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Nobody

Nobody I can think of either, but getting those 2 would be very nice.  I'm guessing OL recruiting will need to be THE focus next class. 

[Dominicanhog]

Would love 3 more OL, but who after Ramirez and Tillman?

hopefully those 2 and we hear a a couple more names like Swensen,  NSD won't be the final day for an OL that's looking around, also could be that late flip...

[WooPig90]

Tillman doesnt need to be counted in the 25..

[Wildhog]

Tillman doesnt need to be counted in the 25..

This is true.
