Our class is shaping up surprisingly well. Hugh Freeze is a masterful recruiter. Already have 17 recruits. Spots are filling up! Get them while you can!

[tyndal23]

I want 2 more D Tackles and a stud RB.

[FlamesHighontheTide]

Stetson Moore has that Big Body receiver look like AGG.

Also, Rivals has us 84th in their recruiting rankings at this time.

Too late to get Clark and Land back on campus...? Classes haven’t started

[jinxy]

Well. The wr group filled up quick. Its what happens when you have commitments. It forces other kids who are high on us but want to play the field to lock in their slots.

Jonathan streeter is announcing next week. Think we get him as a db as well.

It feels like theyve focused in on kaden rogers and then running backs and then going bpa for the last 5.

Clark is the talk of the camp at Louisville. Good chance he will start for them. We won't miss Land much, if at all.

Why would we want them back if they already chose to move on? As a teammate, I would want them back. You would always question their commitment.

Speaking of Rivals, can they get our logo off google...

The Verbal Commits thread has been posted. Links to the lists on all three major recruiting websites and links to each individual players thread where profiles, tweets, offer lists, and highlights are all available in the post for ease of use.

For those that don't know how much work it is. This took about 6 hours to get threads up for the 17 commits that we currently have. @Sly Fox is a monster for everything he has done with prospects and past years he has done all. Forget that. I'll give the commits my time.

ESPN just dropped 3 stars on Corey Barnes and he is now our highest rated recruit by ESPN's rating system. 247sports just added Stetson Moore and Bryce Pierre as well.

[jinxy]

Interesting on barnes. Feels like were still in on 3 or 4 guys then waiting to see what happens for the last 3 or 4 spots.

[FlamesHighontheTide]

Umari Hatcher has a free article on 247 posted yesterday. The only school he was able to visit personally during the Pandemic . . . good ole LU! He will be announcing today sometime near 10:30am.

I like our chances. Syracuse seems to be the only real contender for him.

[FLAMEfromBAMA]

Picked SU

Well... I guess you called it correctly

[FlamesHighontheTide]

Look out for Kylen Austin's commitment tonight at 7pm. He is the 157th best WR prospect in the 2021 class and is rated 3 stars by 247. 247 has given us their crystal ball pick. His final 3 were ECU, us and Virginia Tech.

He would become our highest rated recruit for the 2021 class so far.

I'm sure you are dancing in you seat about now . This a good get; he will be a great addition to play action plays. Go Flames!!!

[FlamesHighontheTide]

Anytime we can beat out Tech for a recruit is huge! So thankful the exposure HCHF has brought us.

[jinxy]

Thats a big one. Would seem to mean stetson moore may be a tight end.

[sstaedtler]

Even with our latest WR recruit, we have dropped from 89 to 92 because of a long period of inactivity. Granted, with all that went on with Falwell, I am sure it didn't help. We have 4-5 WR this year already. I think we need to focus on the defensive side of the ball more, and also get a RB.

[FlamesHighontheTide]

we just jumped back up to 90th after Kylen Austin was added.

[jinxy]

I would expect we are looking at one more ol and a rb and then rest will be on defense. The 2 wild cards are if they take a 2nd qb or they decide not to take a rb if both mack and Pickett elect to stay another year.

On defense, I think they def take another corner and de and probably another lb and a juco dt. Again if James or resins stays that may change.

[flameshaw]

I am still not a buyer on Mack. He has a lot to prove. He follows his blockers extremely well, but just hasn't shown the speed and quick cutback ability of good backs.
Maybe he has been coached up and will be better this year. I do trust HF to put the best we have on the field. Hopefully he will show better than he did last year.

I am not a buyer on Mack either. He's not nearly as explosive as Hickson was. He's good running inside once he gets his momentum going, but running outside or swing passes to the outside, I don't see him as nearly as effective.
