2017 Recruiting Class Thread....

he has multiple family connections to UNC but I'm afraid he may pull the trigger for moo soon.
Maybe grades but heard a player say we did the same thing. They wanted to come and we waited and it disappointed him but the staff said they wanted to make sure or some such. The player eventually committed even though he nearly went elsewhere.
Yep, but Fedora's staff isn't too shabby at it either. Switzer and Donnie Miles come to mind.
Yes , Jabreel Stephens #31 WDE from Tampa has offers from Cincy and Western Michigan , but says UNC leads and feels an offer is coming. He was described as the best kept secret in Tampa.
Ocean Lakes (Virginia Beach, VA) hired a new head football coach last month - Hokie alum Joe Jones. We're going head-to-head with them for some big time recruits. It'd be nice to keep winning those battles. Chris Scott left for Bishop Sullivan Catholic.
I expect they'll get the typical bump from hiring a new coach, and it certainly won't hurt them having a former player at a big in-state school like Ocean Lakes, though I've heard some of the local talent will be heading to Bishop Sullivan instead in the coming years. I think the overall degree to which their recruiting improves depends on where Fuente has them in year three. That area is recruited heavily, so it becomes increasingly difficult to sell a program unless it's really trending in a good direction.

Jordon Riley gained a 4th star.
Also, South Carolina just offered current Carolina WR commit Ryan Jones.

excellent news! that leaves cauthen as our only 3-star recruit. it's possible he'll get a fourth star too -- his offer list includes clemson and 4 SEC schools.

Games are won in the trenches. I hope the staff is focusing on nailing best combo of OL and DL recruits we've ever landed in 1 class.
Look love the Riley commit. Unc's class now ranked 8th nationally at this early point in the recruiting process. Loading up on linemen and WR's.
Didn't see this. Well that's just lovely... still don't really grasp what went on / didn't go on in his recruitment.
The remaining scholarship for that position is slotted for Aubrey Solomon. At least that's what I've heard.
Lol. No, but I knew you'd be all over it. I actually like our chances if we could get him on campus because his leader changes after almost every visit and we were one of his early offers. Guess we'll just have to ride it out until signing day.

I've been calling him to Carolina for awhile. I'm actually a little surprised he hasn't already committed.
WE seem to be filling a team with GA boys. As GA plays great HS football, I'm all for that.
A couple or 3 years ago, I wrote a piece for Southern Pigskin on the Top 50 players from both GA and FL and where they signed. The ACC held its own against the SEC in signing top FL talent, but the SEC absolutely owned GA. I said then that any ACC team that began to recruit GA well would have leg up on most of the rest of the ACC and would be able to play head to head with the best of the SEC too.
Hopefully, we are seeing UNC do exactly that.
Yes , dook signed 3-4 players from GA with a higher ranking than our highest ranked GA signee. That must stop.
^ All of that is possible because UGA notoriously fails at keeping elite in-state talent. Maybe it will change under Kirby, but I doubt it will. It isn't all UGA's fault. Atlanta and its surrounding suburbs have little overall loyalty to UGA and virtually none to Tech, due to Atlanta's transient nature. No one in Metro Atlanta is from Atlanta or even Georgia, by and large. Thus, the area is completely up for grabs.
