2020 recruiting and commitments
- Thread starter WoadBlue
- Start date
SEC will also steal Simpson.
Evans is a must, must, must, must have in this class. We've got to start turning the tide on losing elite in-state DL to SEC / SCar / Moo or we'll never be anything better than a team that flirts with breaching the Top 25.
Wouldn't rule out Simpson going to UNC before it's all said and done. Mallard Creek guys say he loves UNC and staff, which were the first to show interest in him. A strong year would definitely help.
If he wants to keep the door open with us, then he needs to get back with Thigpen and our staff. Word is that he has cutoff all communication with us after the Auburn visit. Very disappointing.
Long time before signing day. Mallard Creek guys I talk to says he loves UNC. We'll see what happens.
The sooner we start winning, the sooner we start landing guys like Evans. If the kid is smart he will hold out to see how we look in year one under Mack. I don’t see what he’d have to lose by just waiting it out. The spot is his if he wants it, regardless of how long he waits. So why commit before you can see what you’re getting yourself in to?
It would be huge to get both. In fact, if we were to sign both but lose Evans, most of the sting of the Evans loss would barely be felt.
The DL is what we must build up most to come to dominate the Coastal and become par with Clemson.
We are aitting pretty with evans simpson has burned brodges here with the way he treated aome of the staff. Not sure we will take him even if he backs off his pledge to auburn
Jefferson Boaz of Pilot Mountain East Surry, son of former UNC punter Jay Boaz, who played for Mack in the early 1990s, has committed. Jefferson is playing QB, but is 6-8 and also has played DE and TE.
That height could be a big help at either DE or TE.

This young man is really intriguing. As Woad said, a very versatile athlete. Going to be interesting to see what position he winds up playing. Here’s a good article on him, seems like a high quality kid.

I like the potential of Aaron Beatty as well. We desperately need DL.

DL is the position group we most have to build, for depth even more than for a big upgrade in talent, in order to have any shot to make the playoffs.
Yep. The real question is how well he can block. He’s got the frame but that’s a tough skill set to master
17 hard commits this early is a really good sign. Throw in Desmond Evans and a few more four star guys and this could be one of the best recruiting classes we've ever had. Maybe even the best if you don't count the Butch years. But I've never been huge on following recruiting so maybe I'm completely off base here...
We have a commitment from Lee County NC CB Jayden Chalmers. He is a lower 3*, and UNC is his first P5 offer. He is a UNC fan and has camped at UNC in order to try to win an offer.
I'l always take a hard working guy who really wants to be a Tar Heel. And in this case, that recruit plays HS football with 5* Des Evans.

I hate auto correct
Rucker, from GA, earned the offer with his performance at the Showtime Camp. My guess is that he is going to be a scrappy hustle hound.
More DL depth, crucial to us.
Very good speed and seems strong. Very sure tackler. Could play LB. Another nice pickup for the defense we’re building. I’ll bet Bateman loves this guy.
I doubt we go much over 25. Not many seniors, not many NFL early entry candidates unless Tomon or Michael Carter pop.
If we keep it up we may be top 15 or even top 10. Currently sitting at #9, and Evans could still give us a big boost
