Next To Commit To The G 2020

Legit question on Nadab: It was always my understanding that once he was ruled academically ineligible that Bama decided to back off his commitment to secure another spot in that class and CKS swooped in at the 11th hour, knowing a “commitment” from Nadab was going to help us secure the #1 recruiting class for 2018, and it was more of a coup than anything.

So my question is... we’re we ever really “in it” with Nadab? Or was taking him late more or a play to try and secure him later too, knowing full well he was JuCo bound?

It was one of those out of nowhere flips on signing day if I recall? So the background on his recruitment is fuzzy, at least for me.

With respect, I don’t think CKS gives a **** about recruiting rankings.

He goes after players we need and if you reflect back to the DBs we had and acquired in that class, Joseph was worth the risk.  Different situation today.

Still waiting to see some CBs roll in for Wren to AZ St, Houston or UGA. Currently all TCU.

Yeah was talking Jeff too.  It’s just interesting all the way around.  We’ll know what’s going on soon.

Milton seems a little twitter sensitive.  Although that's easy for me to say. I may have a hard time not reacting to some of the things that are said. I'm the wimp that got his feelings hurt with DVs.

Regardless, what idiotic fans say on twitter will have "ZERO" effect on what school this kid chooses.

@SoFL_Dawg - Fair enough. Again, it seemed (to me at least) like a last minute shot in that cycle, so was more curious for the background since his name popped up again.

What is the story with the Lamar Goods kid? Are we seriously interested in him? Or are UF fans making something out of nothing so they can claim a win on the trail against us?

SoFL_Dawg

Yeah Tex i don’t know.  I’d fire back as well.  Still my child.  You may do the same as your son’s status blows up and someone is an idiot.  He’s not cursing them, he’s just engaging them.

By own admission, you notice the DVs too so...if the shoe fits?

uf fans looking for a “win”

So I was told to check out these sophomore highlights on Kendall.  Junior highlights didn’t do him justice as his OL struggled.

This look like Heisman potential to y’all?  Does this look like 4.7 speed?  I think everyone should perk up watching this tape.  Enjoy if you haven’t seen this from Kendall as a sophomore.

Just my $0.02 speculation but while I know Kirby cares the most about team needs, in my head, I can't completely discount the value in signing the #1 recruiting class to the optics and momentum of the program.

For one, it's a milestone achievement and barring a natty, about as clear a message I can think of that we've arrived on a national scale. We also know that Kirby typically operates with a purpose and doesn't do much without strategic thought behind it.

I wouldn't be completely shocked if, in playing the long game, Kirby was doing everything in his power to disrupt Bama's string of top classes in an effort to create a chink in Saban's armor. Giving us the opportunity to grab momentum and create the perception of being the next big thing.

SoFL_Dawg

Never once heard of Goods.  Don’t know who that is.

texdawg

Yep @SoFL_Dawg I doubt I handle it any better.

What do you think @mantis_toboggan69?  Would love to get your opinion.

They deserve a win; getting Goods to replace Dexter (to UGA) would be fantastic if there is the obligatory 24 hours between the "win" and the "loss". Is that evil of me? 😂😂🤣🤣
