I know it’s a different thread but he a also put one in for Caleb Williams this morning
Took the words right out of my mouth. SVP on commit watch if Raym chooses OU?
@gdawg4life OU has an excellent OLine coach and a very good developmental track record. If Pittman pulls a rabbit out of his hat with Raym it might be the most impressive recruiting win in CKS tenure
I wasn't saying otherwise. I just feel Pittman is the cream of the crop.
Anyone checked in on OU recruiting boards to see what their take on Raym is?
Asked BA on Dawgnation about Raym today. He didn't know anything but said "it's too quiet" for us to be getting him and further mentioned in show prep for 3:00pm Between the Hedges w/ Sentell - that Sentell has Lindberg back up as a prospect to watch.
Fairly certain that isn't coincidental and BA drew the conclusion.
OU just put 4 of their offensive linemen in the league in this past draft. We have a great thing going w/ Pittboss but OU one of the better places for OLine as well. If OU had an offensive line like AU, then different story.
That's fine. As long as we're all allowed reasonable opinions (both optimistic and pessimistic), then we're all good. I’d hate for this forum to turn into a bunch of sunshine pumping…because that’s what the majority wants to hear (based on the upvote popularity gauge)…rather than an accurate reflection of what’s currently going on with recruits. Not all “bad news” speculation or information deserves immediate scorn or doubt. Some of our favorite insider posters have been the bearer of such bad news….which I always appreciate. even if I don’t like to hear it.
Yesterday I expressed my skepticism re Raym to UGA. Certainly hope I’m wrong. I don’t doubt Pittman, but sometimes a guy just goes in another direction for other reasons. Feel like Raym picked Georgia a few weeks ago, but other influences haven taken over. Additionally, I disagree that no news is good news in this case. OU insiders are confident….while UGA insiders seem to be the ones without intel, despite the fact that the guy apparently filmed a commitment video. Not a good sign, IMO.
Again, hope I’m wrong, but ultimately this is a position that we can afford to lose a battle. Let’s nail down SVP, and finish the month with a bang.
havent heard him mentioned before, But I should know more next week.
This is the first year that I've really tried to follow recruiting closely. How common is the MarShawn Lloyd situation, where he's committed to Scar, but the CBs still point to us (and none to Scar)?
CB’s don’t change once they are committed unless they decommitt.
Welcome aboard! @HughDawg
Well its a free country in my eyes, so absolutely! Anyone is able to have an opinion on the matter. I'm a glass half full guy myself on things that have no concrete evidence that states otherwise. I’ve just seen a few definitive statements about missing on him with nothing to substantiate the claims. Doesn't necessarily mean they are wrong, just at least state some sort of reason you feel that way. Obviously no one has to do anything for anyone but at least it gives more for someone like myself to think about.
I agree I hope I’m right as well and we get Raym, as well as it is a luxury to be able to miss on a prospect like Raym and still be fine for the class.
All in all I guess what my point is: It’s okay to temper expectations, be weary event but don’t act like things are a doe done deal, until it is.
I also stated I’m willing to eat major crow for my comments as well, because lord knows I am not in the know. I just base my personal decisions on what I do know, not what I do not.
@HughDawg Welcome to the most wonderful corner of the recruiting internet! We have few trolls, and the few we have are upset that we're about to steal their best recruits (even if they don't admit it). It's a great place to hang out.
I think y'all are really misreading my comment. I never said going to OU wouldn't get him to the league. I said Pittman would BETTER prepare him for the league. I gave an example of Wynn. Did any of you see Wynn as a first round pick when he got to UGA? How about in 2015 prior to Pittman getting there?
