They're visiting LSU next weekend. LSU is at UF this Saturday and Corrall will be there.

Thanks!

 

Maybe Corrall and Hall will visit Nebraska together on Black Friday?

I mean i get it you don't want too many of 1 position group on campus at 1 time but man to push back a kid with the talent he has and the relationship with Crosswell...

Yeah, I guess I'm missing the advantage of turning away top prospects from probably your biggest recruiting weekend of the year.

Staff has done this a couple times now with guys. Who in their right mind thinks its okay to tell a kid like this to wait? I really don't understand it. You put in all the ground work with a kid like this and he's ready to visit and you say no. At a position you've been burned at the last 2 cycles and are currently playing walk ons at....

They better be extremely confident they can flip Hightower otherwise this is idiotic. I've always thought we had a much greater shot with Hall than Hightower.

I think the answer is really obvious, whether or not it makes sense to folks is up to them. As the lead recruiter, you only have so much time to spread out on the croots that visit. That makes sense to me.

Eh, I think having them here when they wanted to come which happens to be the biggest recruiting weekend we're going to have this year >>>>>>>>>>>> splitting one coaches' time four ways instead of five.

Do we know it was all the coaches pushing back his visit? Is it possible Jalen wanted to move his visit date or that the coaches let him know he'd get more personal attention on a later visit and Jalen opting for that instead?

True, except KW doesn't have to spend a lot of time with Brown and Moore individually. He really is splitting time between Bush & Hightower. Moore & Brown get it and are helping peer recruit. So therefore, it's a little bit bigger deal when trying to recruit 3 WR than 2 WR. How much time does he actually have to spend with these guys? Not that much.

 

It might not be the right idea or approach, but I get it and it makes sense to me.

You don't think it looks better for the two guys that our staff feel they may be in on if they don't invite a 3rd.  "hey we want you two guys and we want to show you the love"  or "hey we want you two guys but just in case we brought that guy over there......"  Time will tell - however, i will put my trust in the staff.  They seem to embrace recruiting and seem to continue to improve.

According to 247 the staff capped it at 4 for this weekend and Hall wasn't one of them. 

 

From what I've gathered on that Florida board their coaches haven't exactly welcomed him on an OV either yet.

Ok, that's information I hadn't seen yet.

Another thing to consider is we dont know the vibe the coaches are getting from recruits. He may be giving a vibe that he isnt all that interested and just wants to use the trip to hang out with other recruits. By pushing it back the staff can get a better feel of his intentions. The cap is just an easy excuse.

Well were letting TJ Pledger come, so why not him also?

[desertshox]

Like i said, we dont know the vibe the coaches are getting. What people say on social media and to you are not the same.

 

One of the most frustrating things about recruiting is you only have one half of the story. Oftentimes that is skewed by a journalist needing a story.
