My buddy coaches high school basketball at Midlothian HS.. A football stud just transferred to the school from California named Jermani Brown. He is only a junior. He is playing on the basketball team. He has verbally committed to play football at Arizona State. Now that the kid is on the east coast, we need to tell Coach Warren to come up and check this kid out. He is a 4* cornerback w a nice offer list. I don't see him staying at Midlothian HS next year for his senior year. Great school academically, but football team has struggled pretty bad for many years. I could see him transferring somewhere else. Who knows. JMO. How do we let Coach Warren know about this football prospect?
Go Heels!!
We seem to have as good a shot as any. Nobody seems to be leading although we don't seem to do so well at WFHS. I am trying to temper my enthusiasm but when guys start talking and see something brewing it could be unstoppable. A recruiting guru said this class won't be as big but will be quality over quantity. We have even been elevated to warm with Justin Foster.I see Riley mentioned above, what about #5 Gill? any shot at him?
Eric Douglas is on our radar but we don't appear to have offered. He has impressive offers.Wonder if any of those highly touted Mallard Creek OL are interested in joining their teammate in Chapel Hill?
Let's make it 4 out of 4.Rivals recently released their current Top 250 for the 2017 class (they had released the Top 100, then released 101-250). LINK
South Mecklenburg DE Jake Lawler is a 4**** and checks in at # 125. Supposedly, we're at least in decent shape for him. No insider info, just a gut, we get this guy.
Mallard Creek WR Ryan Jones is a 4**** and is ranked # 156. We're sitting well with him but lots of blue bloods are recruiting him.
IMHO, between Melton (already on board), Foster, Lawler, and Jones, I think we have a very good shot of reeling in 3 of those 4, with Lawler being a major position of need. Pretty excited to see how this 2017 class shapes out.
U might see him more on the hardwood then football field but I'm sure there would be a spot for him at WR as wellI am assuming we take Sage Surratt unless he desires to go elsewhere.
Yeah. I see he scored 35 points the other night. 1 scholarship 2 sports efficient.U might see him more on the hardwood then football field but I'm sure there would be a spot for him at WR as well
Both would count towards football scholarship number. Just FYI. The Bear Bryant rule.Chazz can be on football and Sage can use basketball and let them both play 2 sports
@-COUNTRY-CLUB-JOE- you need to fix the gif in your signature. It's too awesome not to display properly.
I'll be very surprised if he doesn't get an offer real soon. As stated, a position of great need with early PT a distinct possibility. Very excited about the start we've gotten on this class.Does anyone know why we haven't offered Grant Gibson? Seems very strange that we haven't offered a 4 star kid at a position of need at one of the best high schools for talent in the state of NC. I just don't understand it.
Yes, please.

Mine is a class of 25 Schiano Men.Yes, please.
Being a UNC football fan means my "perfect recruiting class" contains 10 defensive lineman.

Worth mentioning that he visited Duke after UNC and attended the Duke - Louisville basketball game. I wish we could've gotten him in the Dean Dome for a big-time game or something. Hopefully he won't be a stranger and will OV.

I agree , but we have in state momentum that you have to go back to the Mack era to match. He could probably start day one.I'll believe it when I see it.
Foster just got an offer from Alabama. It is my hope that he would choose to make something great in his home State, but the offers just keep coming. He's truly special, and yes I am a homer, but gosh this kid is a freak.I agree , but we have in state momentum that you have to go back to the Mack era to match. He could probably start day one.
We want him to get offers from all the big boys. If the Alabama's of college football didn't offer, then I'd be concerned.Foster just got an offer from Alabama.

I hope somehow he stays home... I'd be shocked as well, but I hope he does.We want him to get offers from all the big boys. If the Alabama's of college football didn't offer, then I'd be concerned.
That being said, I'd be shocked if we landed JF. Absolutely shocked (but happy)
Five OL and five DL is mine. I agree DL needs more help at this point.Yes, please.

Is this still supposed to happen?Jordon Riley to commit on Thursday.
No. It's been pushed back and the reasons for this range from innocent to nefarious (depending on who you believe).Is this still supposed to happen?
