Who was CBB talking about?

[greenie]

During his LR Touchdown Club speech today, while talking about the impact of the "Being Bret Bielema" show, he mentioned that after watching the show that a recruit currently committed to an "enemy" called him to say that maybe he needed to take closer look and that maybe he rushed to a quick decision.  He described this player as the #1 player on their board at that position.

Any ideas? 
Wild guesses: Austin Deculus OT committed to LSU or Jack Anderson OG committed to Texas Tech (although hard to classify TT as "enemy" outside of CBB's feelings for Kliff).
Chevin Calloway is committed to Iowa, so that's probably a stretch, too.

You can hear the comment I'm referring to at about 1:05:00 into the video.

[colbs]

I was wondering the same thing but have no idea.

[theFlyingHog]

Do we not have the janitor on payroll? He could tell us who the ones on the board are!

[AugustaHog]

Could it be the S that committed to LSU recently from Plaquemine?  He had us listed, albeit outside the top 3 at times.  He'd be a real long shot for sure.

[theFlyingHog]

Be pretty tough to figure out who it is. Top of CBB's board may not look anything like 24/7's rankings. I haven't kept up with numbers at positions on this class yet so don't know what we might be wanting to take at this point. A stud safety is always nice to have though!

[CFB_Fanatic]

This type of thing can really help recruiting.....unless you don't win. Then it backfires and your fanbase calls into the radio show and says "If coach would quit try into be a Hollywood star maybe he could win us some fooseball games!!"

[Dominicanhog]

I think it's Calloway

Completely agree being most thought KJ Hill was on top of the WR board when it was actually D. Reed.

[Pig in the Pokey]

If it is Todd Harris, that would make sense. He was the #1 Safety on our board even over Montaric I believe. Would love for it to be a big ole beast of a lineman too though.

The TV show will do us wonders in recruiting I think. BB comes off as a very likeable guy but also as a hell of a football coach. There is no way that it doesn't help with both the kids and the mamas n papas.

[LRrazorback]

I think it's Calloway

I think he said the player was committed to an enemy, I would say Iowa is not our enemy, an SEC team is more likely.

I think it's great because he doesn't have to work to get to show this side.  There's always been a perception that we have to get past in recruiting, and once we do, we have success.  This show can help unveil what we have to the world and there's no denying there is something special.  If this gets kids to be more open-minded, visit campus, we will see recruiting be even better.

yep. Although Texas Tech (or Texass) would qualify considering BB's deal with Klifford.

yeah, bad call... missed that part.

[secneahog]

Enemy? Florida Gators.

Position? DT.  Juco guy.  Edwards.  Imo

[jackflash]

too many for me too guess, hope is a LB

[greenie]

Just for fun, here's a quick list of candidates taken from 247's list of offers we have out.  I'm sure there's plenty I missed and/or we don't know about. 

Toneil Carter, RB, Georgia
Tyrell Shavers, WR, Alabama
Kendrick James, TE, Alabama
Austin Deculus, OT, LSU
Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
Austin Troxell, OT, Auburn
D'Antne Demery, OT, Georgia
Jack Anderson, OG, Texas Tech
Robert Beal, WDE, Georgia
William Poole III, CB, Georgia
Kary Vincent, CB, LSU
Derrick Tucker, S, aTm
Montrell Estell, Ath, Texas
Keldrick Carper, Ath, aTm

[Peter Porker]

My guess is Justin Thomas.


Don't think it's a JUCO guy. Sounds like someone that watched the show with his parents.

[goshog]

too many for me too guess, hope is a LB

We were on Josh Clarke, LB from New Orleans, pretty hard before he committed to Ole Miss

[Huds_HawgTide]

I also hoping for josh Clarke

[Cassperr]

I also hoping for josh Clarke

This was my first thought.

[Pig in the Pokey]

I also hoping for josh Clarke

good guess, could be kendrick james, too.

[Oklahawg]

James (committed to Bama) was my first thought. But, he is pretty familiar with UA, so he might not fit the profile.

[navyhog24]

Don't get your hopes up on James. It's not happening.

[RedyorNot]

I'd be inclined to put UGA in the enemy box since Coach Smart poached Pittman and went after Enos too.

[King Kong]

Yeah, but we don't really battle UGA that much in Recruiting

[hawgwash]

Yeah, but we don't really battle UGA that much in Recruiting

Lost a commit to them last year.

[greenie]

Lost a commit to them last year.

Also stole one from them last year.

[King Kong]

Lost a commit to them last year.

No we didn't.

We lost a GA commitment to South Carolina. But nobody ever committed to us ended up at UGA from the 2016 signing class

[Hawgvillain]

I assumed it was Bryan Jones

[Pig in the Pokey]

No we didn't.

this

[hawgwash]

My bad. I was thinking the Georgia HS receiver we had a commitment from switched to UGA. I'll stand corrected.

[Pig in the Pokey]

we DID lose a recruiting battle to them of sorts with Whaley, He visited here, named us the leader, then committed to UGA. But we know how that ended. We won the rematch

[GalaHawg]

I assumed it was Bryan Jones

That was my first guess as well.

[Peter Porker]

Well, a certain DE in Alabama just followed our whole staff on twitter.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Well, a certain DE in Alabama just followed our whole staff on twitter.

who?

[Peter Porker]

who?

The one I named. Justin Thomas.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Well, a certain DE in Alabama just followed our whole staff on twitter.

Good find. It also helps that his HS teammate is very interested in us

[Sir Oinksalot]

who?

You don't get why he may have wanted to be confidential ....

[Richard Davenport]

Prior to Coach B mentioning this, I communicated with a family member and was told the kid was still very much interested in Arkansas.

[Vantage 8 dude]

The one I named. Justin Thomas.

Is that the young man that recently committed to LSU. The kid from Spanish Fort, Al?

[HardingHog]

Is that the young man that recently committed to LSU. The kid from Spanish Fort, Al?

That's him

[Vantage 8 dude]

That's him

Thanks. I thought so. I would really to really like to have this kid as a commit based on some of the film I've seen; also doesn't hurt that he comes from what I think has to be one of the coolest named towns in the US. How could you not LOVE a name like Spanish Fort? Kinda like Moss Point, Ms. or Live Oak, Fl.

It's one of those pretty cool places on the redneck riviera.

Too bad that place is a dump

[arlhog]

Doesn't hurt that we have beaten them pretty soundly LSU last 2 years and LSU is one of the biggest underachievers  for the talent they have.   Don't look for either trend to change until they get decent qb play either.

[jackflash]

my hope it is a LB

[Hog N Bama]

Agree. Those that think Harris is going to turn the corner this year are nuts.

[Hog N Bama]

I'm hoping it's a CB
