I'll go with Cornell next.
That would be nice!
Do yourself a favor and go watch fitzpatrick's jr highlights, I do not care if he commits now or on signing day, BVG just needs to make it happen.
Other than that the third guy I would love to land this cycle is Brossett. RB's from LA that like ND do not grow on trees. I hop somehow we can get him to flip.
I want cornell and Hilliard and I think we have a very good chance to get both
I'm thinking both these kids wait for a while before deciding..like Jan/Feb 2015.
3rd guy? Hoge, Tillery, Barnett are in the fold. Or do you mean Cornell, Fitzy and then Brossett? I'd be down with that as the first 6 on board.
I'll say Reno Rosene
Those are just three wants in general. All I feel we have a shit at but all will need to be recruited and sold. They are big time players IMO. Brossett and Fitzy even more so than Cornell.

I'm not sure we land any of them if we're shitting at them.
Wow, was looking at team rankings on 247. We come in 17th with 3 recruits( a big sexy 96 rating average though). I lose track of time, but I thought Elmer committing when he did 2 years ago was really early. Then last year a couple more even earlier. Now teams like Alabama and LSU have almost half there class verbally committed (if they played fair)....
Is it social media speeding this up? It's February and I feel like we should have more people committing right now. Even though I know it's ridiculously early, and I never would have expected that 2 years ago. Are classes going to fill up by the end of may in 5 years. I don't like it, do you guys think this will hurt us? We never seem to be the favorites for the big fish around this time of year. It takes time for us to get to them.
With all that said, how many, if any, do we sign by the time junior day is over. I don't see any big guys popping like Cornell. Is it smart to take 3 star guys this early? I cant believe LSU has 3 3stars committed this early.
(I'm starting to dislike the crystal ball, people putting guesses in just to try and be as early as possible.)

Awesome. Also, great bump for a great thread. Even if we're playing the long game right now and things are a bit slow on the commitment watch front.
Wiltfong posted this morning he thinks Ruhland will be next (possibly this week), and that if Tillery sticks we are done on the OL. He also says we are probably in the driver's seat for Hilliard, and in the top 3 for Taylor.
