[JackWolf]

Yesterday NC State officially announced the hiring of DBs coach George Barlow and he and Coach Doeren didn’t waste any time loading Coach Barlow up wi

Gotta be excited about the recruiting. Lord knows we need the talent upgrade.

[BJD95]

By my “back of the napkin” math estimates…seems like we will be Top 30 at the very least, when all the dust settles. A great testament to this staff’s sales ability.

Love hearing this news. Coach Doeren really is light years ahead of our former coach. Specifically that he actually tries to recruit the 4 and 5 star players. Instead of our former coach saying something like “I prefer to recruit 1 & 2 stars and turn them into 4 & 5 stars”. Yeah TOB how did that work out?

Anyway does anyone know if the running back(forgot his name) from Havelock has made his commitment yet? Is it still down to State, UGa & Tenn?

Thanks

[Radman]

Scott has not committed.

[gcpack]

Thank you Rad.

[BJD95]

Seeing the competition list…not hopeful. Even with a great staff selling us. Georgia is Georgia.

[Radman]

I thought we were competing with Tenn and USC east for Scott?

[JackWolf]

We are out of it for Derrell Scott, he’s down to USC< Tenn, and Fl

Man, not a bad haul for a team that had zero conference wins. Great job.

I can’t think of a single colt from an All-Pro sire to stable at State’s barn.

Anyone?

[patientwuf]

I can’t think of many All-Pro’s. (Gabriel, Holt and Adrian Wilson-any others?)

[JVM4PACK]

Rivers has his own stable kids…if old enough to enroll, let em sling it

[VaWolf82]

It’s quite comfortable under my rock. 🙂

[TheCOWDOG]

Peeka Boo, Va.

No…State has it’s share of All-Pro’s.
I said progeny of such.

The Vincent kid is the first, to my recollection.

I think it’s a big deal in trust.

[tlc82]

we have 28 commits? how many more can we add?

[packalum44]

Are recruits still going to UGA to be part of the most talented teams to never win anything?

If DD is only an average coach and can consistently recruit 20th ranked classes, we become a 20th ranked program.

Short term goal is to become a top 25 program in 3-5 years.

Medium term goal, is to remain a top 25 program years 5-10 years.

10+ year goal is to build upon the 20-25th ranked program. Utilize the 5th most talented state (behind CA, TX, FL & GA) in the country’s rich population and demographic resources. (in 10 years our population could overtake GA’s)

These are realistic goals assuming we have no major donors step forward and provide transformative gifts giving a competitive advantage.

[EdMar]

How many commits are you allowed in one year? We have 28 and still hard after 3 or 4 more?

[Primewolf]

Impressive recruiting.

My main concern is our coordinators. I seem them as below average. We need talent because we are not going to out coach any team.

[GoldenChain]

I think his recruiting is impressive given the results from this past season and how short-sighted most 17/18yos are. If he can get a season or two of modest success I think the sky is the sky is the limit for DD’s recruiting.

[Classof89]

As an update, we’ve gotten commitment from Richardson, and lost out on Thompson (Clemson). Missing out on Thompson hurts, because I still don’t see a Naz Worthen/Haywood Jeffires/Koren Robinson/Torry Holt/Cotchery caliber of WR in this class (or in our program, to be frank).
