If Westerkamp flips, where does that leave the staff with Neal?

Independent players from that angle. Westerkamp's decision does not affect Neal.

Are they both not projected for the slot?

So you're saying there's a possibility that Westerkamp and Neal round out the WR haul and they'd be willing to take a sixth in Agholor, if he so chooses?

I think this is right. I think in a perfect world, Agholor and Neal would commit now and then we wouldn't take Westerkamp/Payton. However, we definitely want another WR, and so because Westerkamp/Payton will likely decide first, we'll take one of them if we get the chance. But Agholor and Neal are just too good to turn down, so we'll take them too if they want to commit down the road. At least that's my hunch ...

Since I blew all of my vbucks on the SC game and only have 25,000 or so, I propose the following bet to anyone willing to take it:

Someone will commit this Friday (16th) between 10:00am and 12:00pm (noon). This commitment will come through official channels or a tweet by the player.

I'll throw a cool million on that.

Neal is an athlete who we'll take regardless of who all is onboard in almost every conceivable scenario. Westerkamp can play the slot and would likely be slated for there in this current class of WRs. My statement is that Westerkamp being committed will not deter the staff from taking Neal. The reverse might not be true, but I won't deal in hypotheticals for now.

You made your side of the bet really specific. lol

If you get this right, they should give you more than a million.

Don't get ahead of yourself. It's not like you did the recruiting yourself. lol

Thanks for clarifying. I noticed more info on Westerkamp's thread as well. It makes perfect sense to take one of Westerkamp/Payton and then leave room for Agholor and Neal if they so choose. The flip side being, if Neal commits before Payton/Westerkamp, then they close the book and wait for Nelson. Seems like a good plan to me. I have to admit, after watching Westerkamp's highlights, I'd rather get him on board over Payton.

I'll pony up a Million if we get a commit on Friday. I'll make it 10 if it is in his time frame.

AdmiralBackhand · Dec 15, 2011

Woo! Now that Stanley is committed, who is next? Kiel? Garnett?

ErieIrish13 · Dec 15, 2011

Kiel and Westerkamp by monday. No info

You da MAN! I've got some calls to make, some tweeting to do! (how do I sign up?) If my son commits, does that count? He doesn't have an offer but he'll commit!

Oh wait, I think he's on the phone trying to commit me?!

NYMIKE6 · Dec 15, 2011

I going with Gunner then Neal

NDPhilly · Dec 15, 2011

Neal decides much latter like mid Jan or NSD in my opinion. Kiel is next.

Very possible. I'll say Kiel and Westerkamp by the end of next week.

BeauBenken · Dec 15, 2011

Stanley
Ekanem
Kiel
Payton
Armstead
Neal

It becomes pure fantasy towards the end there...but that's the order I think they'd pop.

That's my list from earlier in the week or last week rather.

I want to say now that Kiel commits before Ekanem, but what the hell, I'll stick to my list. I also want to switch Payton with Westerkamp.

NDPhilly · Dec 15, 2011

I think we get one of the Don Bosco kids. Possibly two.

hehe yeah Ekanem not visiting until the end of January kinda screwed you, huh?

I think realistically our class could look a lot like that... we're in good position for:

Kiel
Westerkamp
Rios
Ekanem/Odenigbo

+ 2... could be Neal, Yuri, Shumate, Armstead, Garnett, etc. Lots of stars.

arrowryan · Dec 15, 2011

Marcus Rios was offered today right? If he was, I think he is next...

IrishLax · Dec 15, 2011

A little while ago but it is conditional on his ACT score (which should be good be he hasn't gotten yet) and he won't commit until after his all-star games and his visit in January. So not likely next.

PS. All of this info is neatly packaged and placed in the Upshot thread

Indeed. haha

If I revised my list, it would be a bit more like:

Kiel
Westerkamp
Rios
Garnett
Armstead
Ekanem
Odenigbo
Neal
Yuri
Shumate

And that's only the order I would see them committing if they do. In other words, I think you did a pretty good job. haha
