A Sea Of Red

Daniel Moyer picked up a crystal ball prediction today for us on 247. 100% think Liberty (1/1).

Does @A Sea of Red have an idea what position we are recruiting Moyer for?

Rb for moyer.

Also i highly doubt taylor will get any stars. He has no offers. May on the other hand should be a 3.

Moyer has retweeted at least 3 different Liberty tweets recently, including coach Freeze's message from his hospital bed. I think we are going to land him, and if he plays RB, he will almost certainly be the fastest guy we have back there.

Yes, we are recruiting him as a RB. Club tells you all.

Even with Frankie graduating, that is still going to be a very full RB room in 2020 from the looks of things

Espn just dropped 3 stars on Sean Brown and ranking him as the 80th best qb in the nation.

Monthly recruiting update for August

https://www.aseaofred.com/monthly-recru ... te-august/

From what i hear and observe and read.

-50/50 shot on barber
-great chance on whitehead and probably even the favorites if auburn doesnt offer. Further confirmation, check both he and especially his dads twitter. Wow
-miller ive heard were top 3 (know he has top 5 but were in upper group)
Holmes- were in top 5 plus arkansas. I think hes still fishing and we will likely be full. He could circle back around late if he waits too long and we want to jump back in.
-moyer, were team to beat but not as much of a done deal as folks think
-mason bowers and cam donald, we get both unless a new p5 enters the fray. I hear they are intrigued by possibility of playing together. They did visit together
Arter- still on on him 50/50 with us and odu
Flowers - were the favorites
Brooks - were in the mix but hes playing it close to chest.

Liberty has cracked top 100 for the 2020 recruiting class on 247. It looks like Sean Brown received a 3 star and Tim Glass was added.

Brown is the #65 ranked pro style QBtoo!

This is huge. I keep waiting for 247 to match ESPN's 3 star rating for Cameron Hunter as well as D.J. Humes.

I added Daniel Moyer, Mason Bowers, Cameron Donald, Rashad Whitehead, Ta'Chawn Brooks, Demond Arter, Christian Miller, Antonio Barber and that put our total on 247 up to 145.16 which would've been good for 94th last year and may be a bit higher than that this year.

Even if we don't get another 4 star like last year all you have to do is look at 247's top recruits of all-time and you will see what Freeze has done in less than a year. 9 of the top 15 recruits on 247 are all from Freeze. This will more than likely grow over the next few months as well.

A list of visitors making their way to Lynchburg this weekend

I would not be surprised if Cameron Donald and Mason Bowers both commit after this weekend as well as Daniel Moyer.

Ofcourse, I would love if Antonio Barber closed his recruitment and committed this weekend too. But beggars can't be choosers.

Added a couple more names of top prospects to the list

They are doing this right! Win or lose the environment very well might be the best of the year, unless we are undefeated going into the final home game haha! So many folks coming in. Getting them here together when they hype each other up and build relationships with each other helps too!

Is any of them a legit FCS power running back?? I saw nothing out there Saturday. Got to be able to run the ball with power. Esp when you have less talent than many teams you play.

Focus on the trenches. Our biggest issue is OL and it showed. RB isn't the problem.

FCS? Maybe...FBS, I doubt it given what we showed yesterday. My point in mentioning the fullness of the RB room is that if we do pick him up, there will be a lot of guys he will be competing with to be the #1 or #2 RB for 2020

No one can run without good blocking and almost anyone can run with good blocking. It comes down to the OL and DL 90+% of the time.
Need to fix some things, but we looked much, much better than last year. Tackled much better, fewer penalties and dumb mistakes. This staff is light years ahead of our last one so far. Increased intensity was evident on the sidelines and we actually made some adjustments on the fly instead of waiting until halftime.
Oh, and we gave up less than 600 yards on defense to a top 25 team.

3-star OL prospect Gage Bassham has committed to the Flames. #18 in class, 4th OL. Also had offers from ODU and Marshall.

https://www.aseaofred.com/3-star-ol-pro ... to-flames/

So OLine commits

3- Brian Hannibal
3- Gage Bassham
Ben May(clearly a 3- offer list)
Will Buchanan(probably a 2- )

Better than I thought. We've historically had trouble recruiting the OL. Let's see if we can change that.

Chase Mitchell becomes 19th verbal, 5th OL commit

https://www.aseaofred.com/chase-mitchel ... s-of-2020/

He is a BIG boy!!

Definitely a big ol road grader for sure...and for his size, he gets up the line to pull block pretty quick as well
