Shrine Bowl Practice started today

They're saying that Ritchie is practicing at DE out there... hadn't thought of that possibility.

So, we could end up with no TE in this class in the long run. Crosby and Ritchie to defense in college is a real possibility. I don't know that it would be that bad as we should be good at TE for the foreseeable future.

But however it works out, I love that we go after athletes at these positions. Guys who can play multiple spots is a much more versatile weapon than a superstar peg who only fits one hole.

Whom are all the NC prospects committing to this season? We're not getting any kids out of NC?

Scott is really the only NC kid we've recruited heavily....after him there's perhaps Elijah Hood and Lorenzo Featherston: Hood we haven't recruited for about a year now (he's a UNC commit), and Featherston we have recruited more recently, but looks to be either Clemson or UNC.

Thanks Men.

So it must be a down year in NC for D1 football prospects this year? Or either, since we only had so many ships to give, there were only so many players in NC we could really afford to go after?

Or do y'all think we're beginning to turn our attention more west, to Georgia, ever year?

Looks like Tennessee is only getting one kid out of there, a DB by the name of Moseley. Wait, I see where UNC and NC State are signing a combined twenty-something out of NC so they must both be doing a good job of keeping the instate talent home this year. That's probably twice the instate D1 talent we're producing this year ... except I doubt all of it, in NC, is SEC level talent. Looks like Clemson is going to take three or four outta NC as well.

You know, some to think of it, Spurrier never really recruited NC at Florida either. First time I've ever thought of that but seems like he would have given all of his connections from his Duke days.

I think NC produced their share of D1 talent, it's just that we had guys in other states committed, we missed on 2 that we wanted, and we're going to get the one we wanted the most.

We've recruited NC pretty well over the years, Trav, Cliff, Culliver, Pharoh etc.... This year there weren't a lot of guys we went after hard.

Next year we're going after plenty of highly ranked NC guys:

Player and 247 State Ranking
Mark Field #2 (We Lead)
Mason Veal #5 (USC Legacy, we're in the lead group.)
Michael Bowman #6 (Havelock pipeline)
Nyheim Hines #7 (We're in his lead group)
Bryce Love #8 (USC Legacy, I think we're interested, we offered, but not All In, IDK though. We're in his lead group)
Mike Hughes #9 (In his lead group)

and that's just the Top 10 in NC 2015.

There's another guy I've got to see several times this year b/c he plays on the team with my cousin. Rocky Reid from Concord is an absolute BEAST at RB and ranked #21 in NC. I hope the coaches look at him. He had over 2000 yards rushing this season on a 15-1 Concord team that lost the State Championship to Havelock (who had the best defense in the state by far.) Rocky rushed 41 times for 240 yards against Havelock. He has home run speed and the D1 RB size already, he's already built. He's my sleeper pick for the NC 2015. Some school is going to be very lucky, if he qualifies.

Yep, it's Wideman, throwin' up the Spur. This might be reflective of why so many "experts" don't care that he's actually committed to FSU and picking him to flip to USC.

here's the interview from that pic above...
