N Zone Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Rory Johnson is coming this weekend. He is a linebacker that is in the mold of Super Demarrio. He is 4.4 fast and lightning quick. He is coming off an injury, but is another highly rated prospect. Raymond Williams is also coming this week. Probably midweek, and he tore people up N the Army All American game. He is the Ohio football player of the year, and would be a great get. These coaches are really amazing me. This is freakin outrageous Quote Link to comment
BigRedMachine Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Thx for the look NZone. Yes this is very solid. Also of note: Callahan will talk to Rocky Hinds this week in hopes of getting him to visit. They will also go to the home of Roland Martin and Darryl Richard (DE). And based on my Big Red crystal ball Ive got Vernon Smith, Mike McClaughlin, Jordan Reever(QB), and Andre 2004 Hall (RB) slotted for this wknd. Is that about right NZone? BRM Quote Link to comment
RedCountry Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hey guys, how are we lookin with the TAlly 5? Got some more comin to town? Which ones do we have the best shot at? Quote Link to comment
N Zone Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 It will be tough to get any of the others in my opinion. I would guess that Darity may be a top candidate for the next commit from Tally. He might like the idea of being part of such a great line. With Schuler from last year, Murtha, Incognito, and Muy this could be a line for the ages. I think Manning the CB will end up at FSU Gallon was more in with Pellini and I don't think it will be as hard for him to turn us down with Pellini gone. Quote Link to comment
Fanatic Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Besides Muy, who has already committed to us, we are highest on Gallon's and Darity's lists. They both have us and all the the rest of the teams that are the highest on their lists at medium. Incidently, those 2 are the 2 highest rated of the five!!! Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 What's the status of Schuler anyway??? He had blood clots last year. I thougt he was probably the best recruit we had last year. If friggin' Olsen wouldn't have decommitted this would certainly bring back the pipeline. In a few years, for two solid years, barring anyone from leaving early etc., we could have the best O-line in the league for two straight, consecutive years. redout Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Manning from Tally will be tough to keep. He just visited Tenneesse and they are losing 4 DB's. Considering we just got Grixby, that might persuade him. redout Quote Link to comment
RedCountry Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Just heard that Jordan Reever may back out b/c he is put off that we landed two other QBs. Also Ray Williams that Nzone metioned above is in Lincoln as we speak. Hope he brought his mittens!! And some nsight about Rory johnson and Vernon Smith. both are a question about qualifying academically. With the acquisition of Knowles at LB coach from ole Miss this helps a lot with R Johnson, “It is between probably Southern Miss, Mississippi State, and Nebraska and Ole Miss.” He explained. “My top two probably would be Mississippi State and Southern Miss. Sunday after Ole Miss I will make my decision.” Rory Johnson 1/12/04 And a good quote about Smith: "His intensity level is off the chart. He runs and hits with the best of them. He’s a big-time hitter, a violent football player. That’s what every coach says when they see him play. They just marvel at the way he explodes through people." -North Lauderdale Academy coach Harold Pearson me likey! Quote Link to comment
BigRedMachine Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Thanks for the info guys. Well according to Max Emfingers list, we have several top croots in town this weekend. Murtha is #4, and Roland Martin is not far behind, so that would be smooth if we could bookend the line with those two. http://www.maxemfingerrecruiting.com/artic...s/2003uss.shtml Quote Link to comment
BigRedMachine Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Anyone hear anything else to the hope for getting Rocky Hinds to Lincoln? Man that would be huge even if he visited, b/c we know that we have some serious closers on our staff. Lemming has Hinds at #6 overall http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/...page=2004topqbs Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I really don't see Hinds even visiting never the less committing. The way Isee it he's really got his heart set on USC. Hope Im wrong redout Quote Link to comment
johnnyredshoes Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Actually just to update the rumor about Raymond Williams. He did NOT make the trip to Lincoln. Nor will Vernon Smith. We actually told them not to bother, since they are so far from qualifying academically. We are nearing our limit on visits, 56, and dont want to waste some on kids that probably wont materialize. Oh well, its nice to be able to be picky again for a change Quote Link to comment
