GBR #1 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hopefully both of them make it to campus...and soon. Both potential gamechangers. Quote Link to comment

Caliborn72 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Shooort dropped some pretty bad news over on HM as well. Sounds like Blades and Watts are pretty much out. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Juco? Or do we try to have them enroll on January a la CJax/Heard? Do juco placements ever work out? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I can not think of any recruit we have had that went JUCO and then still ended up coming here. Consider them gone and move on. 3 Quote Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Just wanted to point out that if Watts and Blades don't make it, our #2,6, and 8 ranked players of the 2017 class won't be on the team. I don't think that is good. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't think that is good. At least we signed the +3 in case some guys didn't make it to campus. Oh wait... 4 Quote Link to comment

It had good players..but not enough of them. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Pretty sure it never was "elite" but it would have taken us down from #23 to probably the low 30s. Quote Link to comment

I don't think that is good. Hear what you are saying, however the 2 or 3 players that we use to replace them have the potential to all be rated higher - now losing a year of growth is never good, but probably an even swap at worst...

Well....to honestly look at this, you would need to know what players on all the other teams aren't making it to campus. Every team has recruits that don't make it. Sometimes they get by and everyone is there. But, many times they don't. Not saying this doesn't suck. It really does. But, to use this to compare classes....well....it's incomplete information. 1 Quote Link to comment

I would agree. That's why I've always said that players not making it to campus/not contributing/leaving early is a separate from - though related to - "recruiting." Quote Link to comment
