I don't like the looks of that, but I guess I need to trust our staffs evaluation of talent.

I hate the phrase "plan B" recruit, but I think this staff may just be covering all angles in case Herbert, Mackey, Gaines, etc. don't pan out.

[UltimateHog]

Ga Tech offered, and they are always stout on D, and NC State usually is as well.

Needs to beef up some.

What the staff is doing is making contact with the school and its coaches for these guys in 2010:

Blake Sims and Tai-lor Jones.

Coach Summers and Coach Petrino will be real players with these 2 next season.

I think this points to us getting Mackey.  If he comes in that gives us the luxury to take Calendar and this guy for the DE position and redshirt them.  This guy looks like he has a little bit of a mean streak.

Man I dig coach Horton!

Your links aren't for the correct guys.

Now try them. I only linked Jones this time, but he and Sims are big time speed prospects.

That's an impressive list of offers for Jones when he is only 6' and runs a 4.46.  Not saying those are bad stats but not uncommon for a D-1 WR.  Am I missing something?

I live about 20 min. from Gainsville all the schools in that area are loaded tis year and next year.The reason thease kids are not getting the pub. yet is all the school are all 3A In Ga If your not Buford 2A Or Lincoln Co.1A then you dont get very much attention that all goes to the 4A and 5A schools.Buford hgowever deserves the attention They went out to Dallas and beat the top 2A school like a drum the first game of the season and will win there 6th state title this weekend out of the last 7. LC has won like 10 or 11 state titles in the last 20yrs and have a few players in the NFL VA Tech, UGA, GT,FSU,TENN,.......

building a relationship now with the highschool coach now , for the stud
you want next year


nevermind just clicked on the links
imo

[hawgsav1]

We haven't offered according to the links, but it's good to build relationships. 

[LJHOG]

Ok, looks like we might get our "sleeper" afterall.

[Music City Hog]

If we are gonna take this guy then why not take Terrance Coleman instead?

I believe the article mentions Georgia State, not Tech. 

Rivals shows interest in Tech, but not an offer from them.




However the coaching staff has given no reason to doubt their judgment to this point. 

[Wildhog]

Looks like a pretty good prospect to me...  I'm a big time proponent of "stars do matter," but he's got some decent offers, good size, and looks mean as hell.

They are 16 yo High School Jr's

[bigt05]

Jones will definitely be a 4*, borderline 5* next yr...If we get him itll be big...

[RazorBassin]

Didn 't think about the building a pipeline angle.  Makes sense though.

[Tusks]

guys these are 2010 recruits.

carry on.

Never hurts to build bridges....
