Just to get you all fired up & your brains working…
Driskell posted two dancing gifs.
And he doesn’t post dancing gifs for kids with dates already announced.
So that eliminates… (fill in blank) & leaves… (fill in blanks).

That means Golden, Premer

 

[NDPhilly]

Adams doesn’t have an announcement date set either I believe.

I had to write it down.😆

I thought he was 28th?

 

[Dale]

Adams is June 28th but it’s been insinuated that is flexible

Jacobson does not. I don’t think Premer does

Off the top of my head (feel free to correct me);
Premer, Jacobsen, Golden, Thoms, Adams.

Yeah, but I'm just saying for the purpose of the imaginary game of "gif means commit from no commitment date" I would think Adams would not be on that list.

 

[Dale]

Oh yeah, Thom. He probably committed the second he met Freeman if he arrived tonight’s it’s possible.


Still think JOB

 

[greyhammer90]

Can someone please paraphrase the contents of these gifs? I don't think we're allowed to copy them directly.

 

[SeekNDestroy]

Premer would be quite a coup.

 

[ND7983]

I believe this to be correct.

 

[greyhammer90]

Oh yeah, Thom. He probably committed the second he met Freeman

I mean, I would probably do the same.

"Hey nice to meet you coach, so uh... where is the best Mexican restaurant around here?"

 

[ND7983]

It’s been insinuated that OBrien is not one of the gifs, but you can still dance for him.

 

[Irish5Saint]

Oh yeah, Thom. He probably committed the second he met Freeman if he arrived tonight’s it’s possible.


Still think JOB

Which would be underwhelming -

My guess is that Loy's post was JOB confirming he's in. Adams has likely been a silent since Tuesday or so based on what Singer/Eric have posted this week.

It’s two commits not counting OBrien (as for tonight’s two gifs).

 

[greyhammer90]

If our worst case scenario is that Loys post is about two top 40 kids that we were already trending for.... still pretty good.

 

[Dale]

I personally don’t follow the gospel of Driskell’s gifs lol. Was more referring to Loy being JOB or Premer

We can stretch gif rules for a unicorn 5 star

(JOB on offense and JOB on defense = two gifs)

 

[Rocketman84]

Sure feels like Robinson is a take now and momentum is on our side

Shouldn't be a doubt

 

[NDPhilly]

FWIW landing JOB, Khary, Premer, Golden, Finley, + the other 3 stars we lead for gets us to about 290 on 247. Good for 4-6 in your typical year.

 

[Rocketman84]

Would prefer B Robinson to Fitz jr personally, but understand the staff wants some boundary WRs

We can get boundary guys in the portal and Gilbert will be a fine boundary....Need for speed and big chunk plays is much more needed in this offense. We have plenty of guys who can kill you 10-14 yds at a time.

 

[Rocketman84]

Don’t understand with expanded scholarship numbers why you wouldn’t take Robinson. Not like we have a ton of numbers in the WR room

Yea, it's as if someone believes they've been recruiting the room like O$U instead of missing on all the top targets the last couple of years .

 

[Rocketman84]

Oh yeah, Thom. He probably committed the second he met Freeman if he arrived tonight’s it’s possible.


Still think JOB

He was a commit the moment he was offered, most all our 3* offers to OL seem to be that way.

I really hate to ruin these amazing vibes, but I really hope Mickens stay beyond this year

So it can't be W, X, Y or Z......

It must be A.......or B?

 

[notredomer23]

Loy’s post lines up with O’Brien’s timeline- he was hoping to have a final decision Thursday night. It looks like Loy’s post was 5 minutes after O’Brien posted some long commitment primer video, where he probably notified the coaches beforehand. I’d love for it to be Premer but seems highly unlikely it’s about anyone but JOB

 

[NDpendent]

Fuck D3 and his clown ass, soup Nazi dancing gif rules. JOB's silent deserves a dancing gif and I'm going to give him one

More importantly, at least to me, the class average would be somewhere in the 92.25-92.75 range (quick mental math, someone check me). That would be the best class I've seen in the modern recruiting era. Truly, it would be a class that we all look back on as 'raising the bar'.

If you include Charlie Thom (on 247, it looks like they recently just threw a number of 87.00 on him), the average rating would be 92.09. However, without Thom, the average rating would be 92.28 - on par with 2013 (92.30).

Either way, I think several of the lower-rated guys (Thom, Fryzel, Reddish, Fitzgerald, etc.) have a good chance of being bumped up after the season, so the 92.09 is probably the floor of the class if everyone does in fact commit and sign.
