I wonder if Mack has encouraged Longo to use the TE more, at least as safety valve receiver. In the 2005 Texas champiopnship season, the TE (whose name I cannot recall) was a nearly perfect safety valve receiver. Almost every time that Young completed a pass when forced out of the pocket and unable to run for yards, he hit the TE. The TE never seemed to be even the 2nd option of a pass play, but he was great at getting open for Young to find when the top 2 or 3 options were covered.
2021 recruiting and commitments
- Thread starter WoadBlue
- Start date
I would think any QB would love a 6-8 TE - no way you can miss that guy getting open.
Add a really big, athletic TE to our offensive arsenal and watch out. I think our offense is going to rack up the points this year, if we have a season.
Archer, you got ya boy Ra Ra. HUGE get, he is much better than his ranking's rn. Hopefully his teammate follows!!!
On tos per ra ra himself he had a sitdown with his mom and decided to go ahead and keep it on schedule... before they wanted him to wait to visit other schools, but no one knows when this Rona is going away
Looking ahead.. in 2022 the Heels could be starting 2 five stars and 9 four stars with experience on defense and have quality reserves. That will be scary good.
Wiltfong just gave us the Crystal ball for RaRa.
I have no inside information here - just clarifying what I believe @Jared_5 was hinting at in an earlier post. Wiltfong CB for the good guys is certainly a good sign and I am almost 100% sure we're going to have at least one pop next week
I think Ritzie will pop shortly too.
He was already committed. Day Day committed this weekend ending the courtship of Steele.
Dameon Wilson yes. Either Dameon Wilson silently committed or UNC is holding a scholarship for another person at another position. Steele went from being a silent this weekend too all of a sudden going to SC. I have read that the commits prefer Dameon Wilson over Steele because he is friends with them.
Ok then, was just saying that Ra Ra was already committed b4 this Steele news came out. Statement stands.
One post you said Dameon Wilson committed.. this post you say maybe he committed.. so which is it?
Doesn’t matter. We can certainly use RaRa and Dameon in our LB corp. This will be Chazz’s final season at UNC, so we need depth there, as we do at every position. Right now, building depth to the point where there isn’t a big drop off when we substitute is one of the staff’s main priorities.
We’ve got good depth at DB, WR, QB, and RB. We need more on both lines and at LB. I’ve been very glad to see this staff focus on building the line on both sides of the ball for that is where the game is won or lost.

Ok I was told Wilson was on board. Was confused which one. Jared or Dameon. Jared is the silent. Was told this morning that Dameon does now have a committable offer now. It wasnt recently.
Also UNC backed off steele for some reason. Injuries? Day day? Want to use a scholarship on a 4th receiver? Dont know.
I know the Heels could use the depth at LB. My point was that Ra Ra was more likely to take the spot from Steele since both are more OLB/hyb. Dameon is more ILB.
FARRELL'S TAKE
”The obvious answer is Dabo Swinney as his charm coupled with his success can’t be stopped without visits. However, a huge part of the Clemson lure is selling the family feeling on campus so he’s been very good despite the lack of visits.
The coach that really stands out to me is Mack Brown who is proving he’s one of the best recruiters in the game with the job he’s doing at North Carolina. Tommy Thigpen, an elite recruiter on Brown’s staff, has also been doing an amazing job.
It’s not about innovation as every coach now is relying on Zoom and FaceTime and others methods of communication. It’s about the message and these two guys are selling it far and away better than the rest.”

the biggest part is winning and being a sure fire contender for a national title. they're a dynasty now and that's very hard to recruit against.
Ergo why I think it’s important that we take a step forward on the field and win at least 9 games this season in order to keep this recruiting momentum going forward.
