We so hit a homerun with this kid!

Yeah, it feels good to have such a full secondary class. TPJr looks to be the headliner but I'm sure our other recruits will have something to say about that. Hopefully Studstill fights for that honor.

Cack likes.

Can we bump him to 4 on the front page now that he is a composite 4 on 247?

I don't think they use the 247 composites for that. It's either Scout or Rivals I believe. I assume Scout.

 

[BeauBenken]

No idea what the Pham man uses as the star rating system on the front page. I would like for it to be the 247 composite numbers, but Phammer is the only one who can control that.

That's weird. We should use the composite, for obvious reasons.

 

[Redbar]

I think Shawn Crawford and Troy are similar athletes and will add a huge amount of athleticism and explosion to the back end of the defense.

We should just use the site that has the highest rating, for each player.

Add Coleman in that mix as well. We are building a solid unit, at last, out there.

 

[tko]

Haha. Yep. This reminds me of something my coach used to say to us...

"Boys ... I want you so far up in their business I want you to be able to tell me the color of the grapes on their Fruit of The Looms."

Love your old coach!!!!

Super excited to see this young man on the field. I hope he pushes or usurps our current players. We need better play in that secondary.

"He's a guy with a lot of skills, size, speed and, or course, the length that defensive back coaches are looking for right now," Rivals.com recruiting analyst Woody Wommack said after watching Pride at the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. "He was great at predicting where the players are going to be and guessing routes, and more importantly making a play on the ball."

According to rivals, we now have 5 four star DBs. That's a pretty damn good way to sure up a weakness for the future. That's assuming none of the other four drop in the final update, and it's not counting Studstill a 3 star who some on this board think is the best of the bunch.

Still scratching my head on Studstill being a 3 star...

Yeah, crazy. Studstill made a huge jump on 247, I just read a report about it. I think they said he was the biggest riser, up 80 spots or close to it.

 

[NDPhilly]

He's all the way up to the composite #240 player. ESPN is killing his average as they have him as a 3 star 73.

Great news for our special teams as well. I wonder what our opponents avg starting point was when we kicked off? I wonder where we rank overall there?

In fact, Pride took an unofficial visit to Clemson on Oct. 3 for the Notre Dame game not to watch the Tigers, but to see the Irish. Pride noted he didn’t even go on the Clemson sideline before the game – his eyes were on the golden helmets, taking pictures of the Notre Dame players in pregame.

Pride eventually decommitted from the Hokies on Nov. 12, and pledged to the Irish that Christmas Eve.

“I watched KeiVarae, Cole Luke and Nick Watkins, all those guys this year,” Pride said. “I definitely did my homework on them.

“I feel like I could be like KeiVarae, but on an extra level – I know he’s had a great career there, but I’ll shoot to go past what he did.

I want to be a guy that they can say ‘okay, we’re going to play man on that side of the field,’ leave me out there and win that matchup.”

This got me juiced

I said per rivals bro, I am not sure who wrote it.

Honest question because I don't have a Rivals membership: do they not always have authors credited on their posts?

That's common for certain news outlets, but I figured the beat reporters on Rivals would always have their byline credited since they each have their own specialty. If not, my bad bro.

I am sure they do but to be honest with you I clicked on the twitter link retweeted from BG.com and never check who wrote the article.

Jordan Wells wrote it, hey he did something!

This awesome to hear from him.

 

[stlnd01]

Fuck. That was a scary bump, especially when frantically scrolling down and seeing something about a visit to Clemson.
