Anyone seen what the pots of gold looked like this year?

Here's a peek:

Notice Longo is not in the photo. Fucking slacker.

Longo was busy running a Zumba Class......

Alford actually growing some hair? When did that happen?

To go with the creepy smile.

Per TV, we have a real shot to move to the top of his list this weekend with his OV. If he was wanting to commit, we'd take him. Purdue and Vandy are the main competition.

 

[arrowryan]

I'll be shocked if we don't win out

 

[Luckylucci]

I really like Dexter Williams but for me, I'd take Vaughn this weekend and move on. I think he's a quality APB, much like Folston, and the rest of the bunch I could see elsewhere come NSD.

I like his tape and hope you are right. Vaughn can play and he's hungry. That is a winning combo!

 

[BeauBenken]

I like Vaughan better than Williams. Of the guys who we are going after now, he's at the top for me.

 

[Luckylucci]

So an interesting perspective here from Wiltfong. If Mikey Weber does flip to UM then that could adversely affect our chances with Vaughn. Wiltfong thinks we have a good shot going heads up against Purdue but he was set for an OSU OV prior to Weber committing there.

Damn it. In my mind I liked him because he was a suitable backup to missing out on Weber who I liked a lot.

 

[Irish#1]

So what's the word on this Vaughn kid?

 

[Luckylucci]

NVM, OT

 

[Big23Head]

West Virginia offered and it's one he likes a lot. Will visit them as of now. ND will have to be great on the visit.

What has OSU done lately??!

Oklahoma State hasn't done squat!

 

[ResLife Hero]

Saw 3 CBs come in for us today. Any good reason to expect he commits on his visit?

Sounds like he had a good time but doesn't make me think he had the best weekend of his life. "Nice time" doesn't make me think he will be a part of the 2015 class. Wonder if it has anything to do with Williams possibly committing, though.

Mother impressed by academics and coaches. They thought BK was hilarious and Alford made them feel very welcome. More will be coming later in the day.

I've never heard anyone say BK is funny. He probably made jokes about how unimportant blitz pickup is for RBs.

Can ND take Vaughn and Williams. Then maybe move Adams to defense?

I know this isn't happening, but I'd take Vaughn and Williams over Adams at RB and make Adams a safety. Adams would be a good safety prospect IMO.

I don't think Vaughn is half the threat Adams is with the ball in his hands. Adams is much more dynamic - I don't see a single elite trait that Vaughn brings to the table. He's a solid prospect but his ceiling is much lower than Adams.

Koon you read my mind. Though I do like Adams as a RB also.

I just think he's more put together right now and ready to provide reps. Shorter, stockier, more physical. I agree Adams is more dynamic with the ball, but I like Vaughn's tough style.

Plus I think Adams would be a good safety. Has the size and speed. Obviously this isn't happening, but on paper I would like the move.

 

[irishandy]

Keep Adams at RB, I'd only push harder for Vaughn if Williams does not commit. IMO Vaughn ends up at WV.

Yeah, he looks a bit more rocked up at this point - Adams a longer, "wirey" type of kid with good strength for his build. It's just when I watch Vaughn's senior film I see a poor man's Cam McDaniel. Similar speed, cutting ability - although Cam was a bigger player and better at breaking tackles, IMO.

OSU could get in on Vaughn if weber recommits to scUM
