Just before the start of today’s game around 3:15pm, StateFansNation tweeted the following: #REDLIGHT Heard some great things about recruiting today a
[See the full post at: Darian Roseboro commits to NC State]is he a defensive end or a defensive tackle?
Good news for this program only comes in the W-L column at this point. And I haven’t heard any good news for a while….
Great pick up. Part of me thinks I just need to take Zoloft or Prozac so we can see where the road ends. He’s accumulating some good talent.
We also got a second commit yesterday, Daris Workman, a 265 lb OL — who also played basketball. (an extenuating circumstance for being only 265 lbs, perhaps) Before we write him off consider that it might be easier to add 30 lbs. of muscle over a couple of years than take off 30 lbs. of bad weight. I believe Kentucky ‘offered’ him as well.
Ever hear of D’Brickashaw Ferguson? “Ferguson played for the Virginia Cavaliers football team. He started his college career listed at 260 pounds, often dropping to 245 pounds through the regular season. He started 49 games for the Cavaliers, and he was named to the consensus All-America first team during his final season. He was placed on the all-Atlantic Coast Conference first team two years in a row, and he became Virginia’s first All-ACC offensive tackle since 1998. Ferguson started at left tackle in four consecutive bowl games for the Cavaliers.”
Will he turn out to be another Ferguson? Who knows but let’s not snicker just yet.
Glad to have both these guys. Who’s next. Hines, Hughes, McGirt or all 3?
Workman is from a junior college Contra Costa College so he comes with experience. BYU offered him too.
Smarter than the average bear
He’s a juco guy right? Hopefully we are recruiting some judo dB’s. I think our dl will have talent to compete but of course I thought that this year with teal, McGill and Rose.
Same with Ol. We lose crisp and chandler..not sure who replaces them
Hopefully we are recruiting some judo dB’s.
Workman is from Greensboro or there abouts so I’m not sure we out and out recruited him. I’m not hopeful we will be actively recruiting Juco’s. we are redshirting several highly thought of CB’s such as Troy Vincent.
Right now I’m thinking my “good thoughts” on Hines, Hughes and McGirt. Perhaps I should include Marcus Marshall in that group. Yesterday I went early to see what was going on with recruits. At about 2:30 it looked like a hundred or so recruits and people accompanying them went down on the field. Some were commits to other schools. My guess is that Doeren is in it for the long haul — hosting any and all to build relationships with high schools players and coaches in North Carolina and other states. A college coach who is great with high school athletes whether they are 4 and 5 star recruits or not, committed or not will get to talk to the highly sought after recruits in the future. Already we are in the running for more quality athletes from North Carolina that we’ve ever been.
If a couple more topple we could have a very strong 2015 class.
Jucos can be a way to get experienced known good players. We have an offer to another juco, Desmond Owino from Raleigh. That name sounds familiar like he could have been in the works two years ago and wound up in juco. At any rate he also has an offer from ECU. He’s a 6-5 255 DE. I’m all for any extra experience on the defensive side of the ball.

I’m sure that was a typo, but could be an appropriate sentiment.
Desmond Owino from Raleigh.
IIRC Owino was offered late but either couldn’t get in or elected to go the juco route. Again IIRC correctly he had only recently immigrated and had just started playing football. What was attractive about him was his motor was always running — whatever that means. 😉 Don’t know how he did in juco but if the Pack is after him, I assume he did alright. He was recruited as a DE then.
Just FYI – I believe we have burned Vincent’s redshirt.
Thanks for the correction. My bad. Burned it on special teams verses Clemson and maybe others.
