re: Old Recruiting Thread: RIP insiders

There seemed to be confidence the last few days. Oh well. At least we’re back in these big battles and won some recently. It looks like he’s going to FSU if I’m reading the tea leaves correctly.

no one knows for certain at this point except KJ. Auburn has put themselves in position to sign one of the best players in the country. Going to be a fun announcement as we are all on pins and needles!

As a dad I can't imagine imposing my will on my son to go where I want him to go, not where he does. Sounds like dad is an a-hole

Not Auburn. My guess is UGA

We’ve still got 4 months to try and flip him.

I have no idea but….Imposing a will and encouraging a different decision are two different things. Regardless how I feel, it’s a million $$$ business decision that may provide generational wealth. Not sure an 18 yr old is ready for those type decisions.

A kid has to have a God given ability to play pro and make millions. Kid either has it or doesn't. As a parent we have to realize and accept that no matter how much we want that, without that ability it won't happen. If a kid has it he will be found, no matter where he plays. Too many scouts making too much money to not find them. Look where some of the greatest WRs ever played: Mississippi Valley State, Marshall, UT Chattanooga, Tulsa, Pitt, Georgia Tech, etc.

Y’all keep saying this like it doesn’t matter where you go. But that’s just not true.

You can be put in shitty situations and not showcase your talent and get overlooked. You can go to a school with a shitty environment and get caught up in nonfootball stuff that ruins your chances. You can have a coach that shows you how to prepare properly, watch game film, understand the game better.

There’s a lot of different factors that affect you for those 3-4 years and significantly affect your chances of making it in the NFL.

If it’s my son, I could definitely see myself saying “yeah you’re not going there”. There’s no doubt in my mind some of these kids get caught up in the recruitment process and start making decisions based on the wrong things.

One thing is for sure If he chooses AU or UGA the FSU melt is going to be glorious. They are and have been extremely confident

I just think its funny that at the beginning of the week everyone said don't listen to anything this week because its all speculation and only KJ knows where he is going... And then all week all 3 team sites speculated lol.

I agree
