Still no offer from Clemson which we all suspect would be next to impossible for him to turn down. He seems to be really intrigued by the Hokies as well.

Long shot but here we go.Knowing how Jesse and his entire family feel about Clemson, it seems strange he would commit anywhere else so early. I wouldn't be surprised if Dabo has offered and he has been keeping it close to the vest for tomorrow.

It was said that he’s potentially the best recruit we could’ve landed in our history and he has legitimate interest in us but our staff hasn’t recruited him strongly.

I have to say I don't quite understand why he feels the need to commit so early, but I'm sure he has his reasons. In any event, we all know it's a verbal, and he has a year to change his mind, no matter what his decision is now.flamehunter wrote:He definitely is interested in Liberty, probably more so than the staff has shown in him.This is the exact thing I was told.

They’re missing on everyone.

Weaver got an offer from Kiffin the day after he committed to us and was pretty much gone at that point. Problem is, he didn't have the courtesy to tell us when we still had time to replace him. Juice supposedly committed on his visit, although he never announced it publicly. That's 3 (sort of). Bama had at least one. What a bunch of losers. We also signed a player we flipped.
He grew up around the program.

Is having several JUCOs supposed to be a bad thing? Gill has been clear from the beginning of this recruiting cycle that he wanted to sign multiple JUCO players because they were more likely to be able to contribute immediately. I would be surprised if at least 3 do not start for us next year.

Nobody can say we didn't try hard to sign Davis. Should we have offered earlier? It certainly looks that way now, but hindsight is always 20/20.This is Hanson's thread so I don't want to hijack it with Davis stuff, but while we're on the subject I thought I'd ask this question:
Just remember that fine academic institution, Lo[…]
