2021 recruiting and commitments
- Thread starter WoadBlue
- Start date
Not just for OL. That name might be even better for a DT or DE or LB. It is a classic football player name.
A big ego to go along with his commitment. For his sake, I hope he can back it up.
Probably change his mind at least 2-3 more times
What position does Edmonds and hood project to play? I’ve read possibly RB for both if so boykins is also listed as a RB so hmmmmm
Edmonds will be a RB. Boykins, to me, should be a DB but with Carter gone after this year and Williams next year, not sure. Hearing Hood will be a RB as the QB room is stacked for years to come. Guys that can play multiple positions is a good problem to have.
I know it's early to talk about a 2023 kid but he's out of my high school so I figured what the hell.
KJ Sampson- Sophomore out of New Bern High School. Had offers from Tenn and South Carolina as a Frosh.
UNC is high on him but haven't offered him yet. He's a stud! Clip below is from a camp this past weekend.

Well, we could lose both Carter and Williams after this season. I’m hoping Williams will return.
We could also get both back. Only player I've seen on any mock drafts is Chazz.
I‘d be thrilled if both returned. This extra year thing is going to make for uncertainty.

Ok thanks
I saw that, thanks for posting. He's fantastic both on and off the field! 4.0 GPA!
He's a beast. Have seen him play over here in the East several times and he just takes over games. Him and Boykins will be a fun duo for the Heels.
To my understanding, Flint wasn’t even in the team this year. He had a pretty bad injury and the thought was that his career was over. So, maybe he was on medical hardship, but I don’t think that he was counted against our 85.
That’s good to know because they’ll have some mighty big shoes to fill.
Ty Murray is taking a medical hardship - his playing days are over.
We have lost yet another promising young player on the OL. The depth that we might have had (if it had been developed) is floating away.
It is always bad for the long term to under-recruit the OL, because of the many OL injuries and because it takes OL players longer to develop on average than any other position group.

You say this all the time, especially the part about developing. Reminder, staff has been here for less than 2 full seasons, and this season obviously hasn't been normal. All starters are underclassmen. Adorno will take over the Center spot in 2022 as he's fully capable. Pounds, Sutton, McGowen, Zimmerman, Baker, Adorno will be fine. Also remember that both Richards and EZ are just Sophomores.
Yeah, Mack was praising Searels just today. He’s dealt with injuries and is steadily building depth by having multi-positional players. It takes 3-4 years to build depth.
Perhaps Muschamp getting canned will give us the edge in Nesbit's recruitment. Should be down to UNC and UT, one would think.
I would think that will come down to UNC and UCLA.
ETA: looked up UCLA's HC, it's Chip Kelly, in his third year, with a record of 8-18. He should have stayed at Oregon.
At least we've utilized our TE as something more than a blocker recently. BTW, Walston has been very solid for us. I think he deserves a few more looks.

All is well that ends well, but it seems every year this decade we've been relying on walk-ons or frosh for the Center position at some point during the season. Quiron now, Jonathon Trull started games 2 yrs ago. Avery Jones, McCargo, Tommy Hatton didn't finish out, now Ty Murray - it's a real badge of honor to play center at UNC and graduate in pads.
