The OFFICIAL 2017 College football RANDOM THOUGHTS thread

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

I remember that @JALEN HURTS in denial

I had no idea who he was until he committed. One thread doesn't really encompass much of the Bama fan base. We have 3 higher ranked OLB we dont need him obviously

Some of FSU recruiting info, plus I know some of y'all schools are recruiting some of these same guys.


Let’s take a look at the remaining targets on the board:


5-star DT Marvin Wilson

4-star LB Levi Jones

4-star WR Henry Ruggs III

4-star WR Devonta Smith

4-star S Maleik Gray

4-star DE Jarez Parks

4-star LB Leonard Warner

4-star LB Willie Gay

3-star DT Neil Farrell

3-star ATH B.J. Thompson

Florida State could have another spot open by the end of the week depending on how things go with linebacker commitment DeMarco Artis this week.

FSU is going to do an in-home visit and if they don’t get the sense that Artis is shutting down his recruitment and visiting FSU this weekend, then they will likely cut the cord now, rather than find out on Signing Day that he’s flipping. No, FSU is not pushing him out. He has a spot if he wants it, but FSU needs to know that this week.
With just over a week to go FSU has 4 or 5 spots for the 10 remaining targets on the board. Of course not all 10 necessarily want in, but some combination of this group will fill out the remaining spots in the class.

Spoiler

We feel confident right now in penciling in three of the remaining targets into FSU’s class.

Marvin Wilson - Sources are still very confident in Wilson signing with FSU on February 1st. Jimbo Fisher, Tim Brewster and Odell Haggins will be using their final visit with Wilson on Thursday.

Levi Jones - FSU gets the final visit with him this weekend. He may go to Texas A&M for a mid-week trip, but right now that’s unknown. FSU feels good about where they sit. UF and USC are the biggest threat to FSU right now.

Neil Farrell - Multiple sources feel a flip from LSU is a real possibility and he’ll be on campus at FSU this weekend for an official visit. This is more of a projection for me, but I do think he flips as long as things go as planned this weekend. I’m getting real close to putting in a Crystal Ball.

With those three counted, FSU would now have about one or two spots remaining. To me the next most likely names get a little trickier. It all comes down to who visits.

Out of these three, I feel if they make it to campus they’ll join the class.

Maleik Gray - FSU has left the door open for him to visit. He knows that and has been in contact with the staff over the weekend. The decision is now in his hands, he either comes in or he doesn’t, FSU won’t beg for him to do so with where they’re at numbers wise. I’m leaning toward Gray signing with Tennessee.

B.J. Thompson - Despite him tweeting last night that he has an offer and an official visit set for this weekend, I think things will be fluid with him all week. FSU loves his athleticism and versatility, but they need to figure out if he has a spot. It’ll depend on what some of the names above decide to do.

Willie Gay - FSU hasn’t let off the gas on Gay. Brewster was in-home with him last week and even though Gay hasn’t gone on record saying he’s visiting FSU this weekend, sources we speak with expect him in Tallahassee. If he shows up on campus this weekend I’ll probably put in a Crystal Ball pick. It all hinges on the visit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next group of names I’m not even sure I’d qualify as ‘longshots’ anymore. I think FSU is solidly in the mix for all of them.

Henry Ruggs III - FSU-Alabama battle. Ruggs took an official visit to Alabama over the weekend. I expect Jimbo Fisher and Lawrence Dawsey to visit him either today or tomorrow. A source tells me this one is about 50/50 right now.

Devonta Smith - I feel more confident in Ruggs joining FSU’s class than I do about Smith. Jimbo Fisher and Lawrence Dawsey will do their in-home visit with Smith early in the week, either Monday or Tuesday.

Leonard Warner - The whole squad will be in to see Warner and his family this week. This group should include Jimbo Fisher, Bill Miller and Jay Graham. Sources I speak with feel Stanford is the biggest threat for FSU, although UGA is also still very much in play.

Jarez Parks - This is the toughest of the remaining targets to get a read on. FSU highly values Parks, but right now I feel he’s Alabama’s to lose. We’ll work on getting an update on him, or with him, later this week.

Ruggs is going to commit to Bama sometime this week. I guess Smith really likes Bama too but I prefer Ruggs, haven't heard much about Smith to FSU.

Idk about Parks he could go either way

The funny thing is here yu is shytting on him and dude will prolly still commit to y'all and yu Gon be hyping him up again. Wasn't yu shytting on Najee Harris like two weeks ago when he visited Michigan

No I just don't like the dudes who do the shyt like that even when they are most likely staying committed. Its not like we need any one player. I prefer the Tua types who commit early and are a man of their word and dont do any bytch shyt like that. And I just said we don't need Najee if he wants to go, which we dont.

Topic is about Dylan Moses but the entire thread is Bama fans sucking off Chris Allen

Dylan Moses' Latest Tweet

Ruggs can ball toohis team's in the state tournament this weekend and he supposed to have a visit to PSU. Thats why I think he's going to commit this week so he can play in the tournament

I'm never confident about getting a recruit that wants in at Bama, and Bama has the room. I work with Ruggs dad and he is very pro Bama so I been thinking he was Bama's all along. Smith camped with us, but we didn't turn up the heat until late in the year, he snuck in for an official visit last week. Smith would be a nice addition, but Louisiana is another one of those states I don't feel confident about.

Bball is his sport, only been playing FB for 2 years

Yea he is one of the best WR in the country if not the best. Those 247 composite rankings are off on him b/c a lot of those sites aren't as up to date with their shyt like they should be. He's gotten better and better as the season has went along. The 247 site has him as their #1 WR now

He's good and I ain't taking anything from him, but 247 wrong about him being #1 wr. He's definitely one of the best in the country.

hold spring practice in Italy, brehs

Yea he had a big army game thats why they moved him up. His size holds him back a bit, but his athleticism is 2nd to none

Gay is an LSU-Michigan battle. Might as well take dude off your list.
