Btw: a 247 staff member says Brandon Marcello has been promoted to the national beat.


Excerpt:
quote:


About eight months ago, we started working on a plan to expand our national editorial team at 247Sports in 2020 right after the conclusion of the season. Our first addition was bringing on Josh Pate from Late Kick with Josh Pate to lead our video team. Then a few weeks later we added Bud Elliott to the team as a National Recruiting Analyst and our Origination Editor. Our third piece was looking for a National College Football writer.

When looking internally for candidates for this position, one name that stood out and was a great fit for what we were looking for was Brandon Marcello. Since joining 247Sports nearly three years ago, Brandon has been one of our best reporters in the network. He’s passionate, creative and loves to chase and break news and is not afraid to try new features like Driving Plains or spending a football Saturday with Kristi Malzahn.

KN thinks if it’s a commitment announcement it will probably be Baylor.


He says we are going harder after Davis and Salter.


Still don’t have a good feel for what we’re doing here since Morris came in. He clearly believes our chances at one of those guys is pretty good

Marcello definitely earned it. We deserve a break from him too. Great for both parties indeed.


Strong CB movement favoring Baylor for Drones now. Just going off those and Salter’s to Tennessee, I think Davis will eventually be ours.

Yup. Keith said Davis & Salter are 1 & 1A & agreed with a poster thinking we are pushing harder for Davis.

Appreciate it but he's off a bit on numbers as posted earlier although it doesn't change the overall point.

A rumor on the bunker is he could be trending to Auburn. I didn’t even share it and I’m all about pushing content.

Yeah. I saw it after I posted. As best I can tell nobody with connections has given legs to it.

Sorry to keep the bad news coming but Keith thinks the Vols have passed AU for the lead on Cody Brown.

Also Jason Caldwell thinks ENSD in December will not happen this year given all this pandemic stuff. Thinks there will only be 1 NSD next February.

Not sure about that. If they get brown it will only be the second commit they have we were going pretty hard after. We have Gooch who they thought they had in the bag.

Tennessee is definitely full of momentum right now. They have CBs rolling in for a five star OLB.

Maybe but they have to keep landing big time recruits to make their class a legit big time class. Their overall ranking is inflated right now because of their raw number of commits. In terms of actual quality per recruit it's not great. Their average is 88.50. I looked at the past 3 classes & that recruit average was only 19, 20, 20 in overall rankings
