2017 Recruiting Class Thread....

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!!

Good question. Sure someone around here knows but might be abel to just email him if he's listed or the football program office so someone can direct the email to the guy. But bet there's someone on this board that knows/interviews him and can do it easier.
 
I see Riley mentioned above, what about #5 Gill? any shot at him?
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.

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.
Let's make it 4 out of 4.

@-COUNTRY-CLUB-JOE- you need to fix the gif in your signature. It's too awesome not to display properly.

Thanks! It's a favorite of mine. I played around with it, and couldn't find a workable source to embed.

ETA: I'm also afraid it'll take up too much space whenever I post and become a hindrance to others trying to parse the thread for information. But click on it as much as you'd like! Watching it becomes addictive.

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.

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.
 
Bold prediction: We make it into someone's final three-four teams that the 'Old Carolina' would have no chance landing a visit from, much less a commit, due to talent-level and geography. Not saying we get said player, but we'll be in his final teams, sorta like Nate Craig-Myers.

My prediction? DT Aubrey Solomon from Leesburg, Ga.

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.
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.

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)

I hope somehow he stays home... I'd be shocked as well, but I hope he does.
 
Five OL and five DL is mine. I agree DL needs more help at this point.

Wonder if the Gill kid from Wake Forest will follow his former teammate Dexter Lawrence to Clemson?

Thus far, our Coaches are doing a tremendous job of recruiting the top players in this state, and hope this momentum that we have continues to grow into the future.....Would also like to have the Foster kid from Crest, but I personally think it's a long shot with his sister already enrolled at Clemson....Not to mention, Clemson is on fire right now, and are picking-up just about every recruit that they want....

Also agree with the notion that we are at least getting a foot in the door of some of these talented youngsters more so now than we have the last few years, and could really boost that effort even more if we can beat either Georgia or FSU this coming fall, and win the Coastal Division once again....
 
2 new CB picks each for Luiji Vilain WDE 6'3" 250 4th ranked player in VA and Jonathan Sutherland S 6'0" 193 10th rated player in VA. Both 4*'s.
