2021 recruiting and commitments

[-COUNTRY-CLUB-JOE-]

Watch out for FSU here as well.

I think UF is the larger threat at this point. He visited them for Junior Day just before FSU. So I think that trip was primarily about UF, but that's just my opinion. He's a big time target for us. I feel like he'll eventually end up in Chapel Hill. We'll see

Rara just announced he's not committing on April 17th. Hopefully he'll announce sooner and start knocking down some dominoes.

not gonna happen

Sally’s hairdresser’s husband’s cousin, twice removed on his father’s side, knows someone who knows someone who has inside info that we have silent verbals from another player or two who will commit before RaRa and Dillworth do. Never fear, cause...


”(Return of the Mack) come on
(Return of the Mack) oh my God
(You know that I'll be back) here I am
(Return of the Mack) once again
(Return of the Mack) pump up the world
(Return of the Mack) watch my flow
(You know that I'll be back) here I go.

So I'm back up in the game
Running things to keep my swing
Letting all the people know
That I'm back to run the show.”

Anything can happen.

 

[Archer2]

Anything can and does happen.

Fixed it for you.

 

[uncboy10]

I wonder if this virus will lead to more of our incoming freshman taking redshirts. They’ll have less time to learn the scheme and develop in the weight room since spring practice isn’t happening. Could be an advantage for us long term.

 

[NBBears20124ACHAMPS]

Page just tweeted that he wants to commit before his Senior year. Would be a monumental get for Mack and UNC.

 

[truetarheelraider0806]

this one is a guarantee it isnt happening until he makes some more visits; that's straight from his camp

 

[WoadBlue]

A consensus 5* recruit is always huge for recruiting momentum. Until you can land a consensus 5*, there will remain many doubters.

 

[Archer2]

It most certainly would be monumental, especially since Clemson is our main competition for Page and Clemson is on such an incredible recruiting run. They're basically picking, choosing, and getting who they want.To go head to head with a top 5 program and keep our best local prospect instate would be huge. We are starting to build an DL that has the potential to be dominant with the addition of a few more players. Page would be the crown jewel in that defense.

Come on down big guy!

 

[-COUNTRY-CLUB-JOE-]

Yeah. We need one of those guys to jump on board. Looks like Dillworth is going to wait and take visits, but we still have some momentum going with Bryce Steele

 

[Archer2]

I still think Glenn teammates Ritzie and Dillworth will become Tar Heels soon.

 

[CarolinaBlue5]

I still think Glenn teammates Ritzie and Dillworth will become Tar Heels soon.

Just a gut feeling? Or have you heard something?

 

[Archer2]

Just a gut feeling? Or have you heard something?

Gut feeling, I have no insider connections. I actually feel we’ll get 3-4 commits in the next month or so.

 

[Archer2]

TreVeyon Henderson is a Buckeye.

 

[NBBears20124ACHAMPS]

RaRa implied on twitter while responding to a friend that he already knows where he's going to college. Would love to get him on board soon and start seeing those dominoes fall.

 

[matt 1976]

Ra Ra is an extremely important piece to the 2021 class. We are starting to get the horses up front on defense and with people like Asante, West, Echols and Stephens already with the program or verbally committed, we are finally starting to put together the talent and depth in our front 7 that we have been asking for. If we can land Ra Ra, Echols, Stephens and Steele, that would be an excellent LB haul for 2021.

[uncboy10]

Didn't realize Rara runs a 4.38 forty... That's ridiculous speed for a LB

thats ridiculous speed anywhere on the field

That is fast for sure. His film looks great so I wonder why is he not rated higher? Has to be weight.. rather light for a college linebacker at 190ish depending on the site. Best LBs in college 230 range. With the added weight would slow him down and unpredictable of how he would perform. Still hope he commits to the Heels.. I'd take my chances on him.

I don't think he'll get to 230. I think he could end up being a hybrid OLB/SS type guy and play at around 210 lbs. Maybe 215-220 by his junior or senior year. Having guys like that who can play in the box, and also cover slot receivers would be huge for our defense.

And I think that’s exactly what the staff envisions for him.

 

[Archer2]

I read we may be picking up steam in Shipley’s recruitment. He’s one hell of a player, an APB who just runs away from defenders. By that, I mean he is extremely hard to catch when he gets in the open field. Great speed and great hands out of the backfield.

Clemson will be hard to beat for his services but we seem to be gaining a little momentum.

I have also read that his parents really, really, really don't want him to come to UNC. So if he does pick UNC lets head over to fackpride and watch fackageddon

 

[WoadBlue]

It is either UNC or Bama: the Drake Maye choice part 2.

I have high hopes that he too will be excited to be a 4* NC recruit heading to Chapel Hill to bring the ACC football championship back after 40 years.

He is fairly good friends with Maye; they play on the same 7 on 7 team. That has to help.

 

[Jared_5]

I don't know if there is a 2022 board:

I've heard that we're pretty close to landing our first '22 recruit, and maybe our first handful of them. Knotts was mentioned, as well as Omarion Hampton.

Also heard that Malaki Hamrick would jump on a UNC offer as soon as it's extended, which I'd imagine will be sooner rather than later.

Knotts is the number 8 receiver in the country and a top 5 player from NC. Also just received a crystal ball

 

[Jared_5]

Day Day Wilson is not a take at the moment. Carolina landed Bryce Steele and I believe are using him as a LB. Things could change, but Im hearing he is not a take atm. I believe I posted that awhile ago as well

 

[Jared_5]

Reason you aren't hearing a lot about Marley is grades. He has to make some stronger efforts in the classroom for UNC to take him.

 

[Jared_5]

BTW Knotts (2022) is a better receiver than Blackwell and any WR from North Carolina in the 2021 class. Would be an insane get

 

[Jared_5]

Hearing we will likely land Tyleik Williams (DT) from Virginia. Big time player.

[CURRY2WOODYR80]

Basketball as well as football is on the table for Drake

 

[TarHeelMark]

I don't know if there is a 2022 board:

Don't see one, but go ahead and start one for us. Sounds like you have some good Intel to the next great class that Mack is working on

 

[WoadBlue]

We need either Williams or Page. Landing both would be a major coup, Clemson/Bama/UGA/Ohio St level DT recruiting.

 

[Archer2]

I think his parents are NVSU alumni. State fans know Shipley isn’t going to end up in Raleigh but they’d cut off their right arm to keep him from going to UNC. Notre Dame and Clemson will be tough to beat out.

It is either UNC or Bama: the Drake Maye choice part 2.

I have high hopes that he too will be excited to be a 4* NC recruit heading to Chapel Hill to bring the ACC football championship back after 40 years.

That’s our biggest draw right now. Come to UNC and be a part of something special that is being built.

He is fairly good friends with Maye; they play on the same 7 on 7 team. That has to help.

It certainly can’t hurt. He’d have a chance to play with Howell and Maye.

We need either Williams or Page. Landing both would be a major coup, Clemson/Bama/UGA/Ohio St level DT recruiting.

Amen. One would be great, both would be incredible. If we were to land both of them and also land Ritzie and Dillworth, it would assure us of a top ten class(perhaps top 5). What a defense we would have in a couple of years!!!

I know, I know. But one can dream, right?

 

[matt 1976]

Good intel.

Couple things:
That 7 on 7 team must be insane with Drake and Shipley on it. Can you imagine rolling into a 7 on 7 tourney with your average HS team and you see both of those dudes on the other side of the ball, LOL!

Outside of Page being from NC and wanting to keep him in-state, I am starting to value Tyleik Williams over him. If it is true that Page is already up to 360 lbs, that could be a major issue for him at the next level. I think that he is closer to 6'3" and that is a lot of weight to carry around and try to stay healthy. With that being said, he might be a perfect addition to our defense as a NG, where he can clog things up in the middle. But, it concerns me that he has gone from around 315 to 360 in the last 6-7 months.

 

[Archer2]

That is a lot of weight to have put on @matt 1976, but I'm sure we could find a place for him on our DL. Like you said, he would make one hell of a NT at that size. Plus, as you stated, he's a NC kid and we need to erect a barrier around the state and keep our NC recruits at home. A 5* recruit that is being heavily recruited by all the big time programs would make a statement.
