You're pretty quick. You getting Deontai too?

 

[zelezo vlk]

Any film on this guy?

 

[Irish#1]

Purdue going toe to toe with the big names. Give Hazell his due. He's in there fighting.

No highlights for him on 24/7, which usually have the most / best.

 

[BeauBenken]

Got him.

Talent.

You just wasted your time IM8.

Stanford finished second and sounds like they led at one point.

On his Hudl highlights it says he has a 4.1 GPA, wonder how big academics will be in his recruitment.

Your continued assault on the English language is impressive. Relentless.

You can't have thin skin and post on a message board. If I can dish it out I can certainly take it.

Right? Urbz must have said "Did you see Percy in the Super Bowl? I've got big plans for you young man. You're next."

 

[ab2cmiller]

Flipped from Ohio State to Auburn back in April

Decommitted today from Auburn.

Supposedly trending Stanford.

I have no clue who it will be after Stanford.

I can't imagine there are too many recruits that have Stanford and Auburn as the 2 schools they are considering. Opposite ends of spectrum.

2015 Sunshine State Safety Sets Notre Dame Official Visit

Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian Academy three-star safety Ben Edwards has informed Blue & Gold Illustrated that he will take an official visit to Notre Dame when the Irish host Louisville on Nov. 22.

The 6-0, 196-pound three-star defensive back has offers from Auburn, Miami, Stanford, North Carolina, Ohio State and many others.

Edwards recruiting process has been interesting to follow. He picked up an offer from Notre Dame in January, but shut down his recruitment in February with a commitment to Ohio State. He decommitted from the Buckeyes in April and chose to commit to Auburn. Edwards decommitted from the Tigers on Aug. 3 and is currently an uncommitted prospect.

Edwards plans on taking all five of his official visits. He has took an official visit to Stanford on Oct. 24 and has the visit set for South Bend on Nov. 22. Miami and UCLA are likely the two schools that will receive official visits.

In the South, isn't auburn considered to be 'good'? If it's better than Florida State and Alabama, I can understand why it would be on the list with Stanford, whose reputation is very strong on the coasts and less strong in the interior.

It is? I would think that Stanford has strong reputation no matter where you go.

Sure. I'm just saying local effects may override national ones in regions with relatively few Stanford alumni.

 

[Irish#1]

Not sure how excited I am about a multi-flipper.

I can't speak to their local reputation, but Auburn's GSR and degree value figures are pretty average across the board, at least compared to other FBS schools.

 

[Cackalacky]

As with most southern universities, they were primarily agriculture and engineering (textiles)-based schools post Civil War. Most of these schools like Clemson, GT, and Auburn have long existing and excellent engineering programs, but not necessarily great departments top to bottom. I would put Clemson's chemical and civil engineering departments up against most non-Ivy league schools and Auburn has a really good mechanical engineering program. As far as other departments ....meh

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Would be a huge get. Need safetys and he is an elite prospect. im not worried about the decommits. The kid wants an education.
