Official 2013 Recruiting Thread

[ATLien]

5* Robert Nkemdiche decommits from Clemson. Probably going to Ole Miss to play with his brother.

[JonMatrix]

Nkemdiche is the guy that told Clemson to recruit a bunch of his HS teammates or he would leave. They did, and he's leaving anyways. I wonder if they'll bolt for Ole Miss as well?

As for PSU, it's easy to see why Hackenberg hasn't decommitted. O'Brien made Matty McSuck look like a legit QB, that's reason enough for him. He gets credit for Gronk and Hernandez on the Pats, which he shouldn't since those guys are freak athletes. Those guys will basically get a 3 year audition for the NFL, especially since senile Paterno and his staff stopped recruiting top offensive skill players in 2007.

But Wisconsin has sent like 4 TEs to the NFL since Bielema got in charge!

[Nimreitz]

Wisconsin nabs 4* Safety Tyler Foreman. 2 great recruiting classes in a row for Bielema by Wisconsin standards. This one is deeper too. All those Rose Bowl losses are good for something I guess.

[ATLien]

Georgia picked up its 30th commitment last night. HUGE class (9 are early enrollees so they count towards last year's class), but given the season we've had we should have been more selective early on. More than 50% are 3 stars or lower.

[Nimreitz]

I just saw you guys were reaching out to Reuben Foster, can I assume the same thing is happening with Carl Lawson?

[ATLien]

Yeah, but Foster is more likely (although still a long shot). He was at the game this weekend, couldn't stop talking about it, and he could suck and still start as a true freshman. We have no inside linebackers after this season.

Lawson, I dunno, it's like a bunch of HS DE's cross us off their list because of the scheme, even though everybody in the SEC plays the same defense now. I don't get it.

[Nimreitz]

Badger fans think we have a real shot at Alex Collins, RB from Plantation, FL. Looks like the competition is Florida State. Tell ya what, last night was a pretty good case for Wisconsin. FSU has some young RBs on the roster and a commitment from #5 RB Ryan Green. Wisco has the same, but our #3 RB puts up numbers.

Collins had an in home visit from Florida Wednesday, but it looks like he's going to FSU or Wisconsin. From what I've heard, Wisconsin has a real shot at him especially if Eddie Gran leaves for Southern Miss.

[ATLien]

Wouldn't be surprised if Derrick Henry switches back to UGA or Auburn after that run performance by Alabama. Lacy/Yeldon come back next year.

[Dissonance]

Lacy's probably gone though. Jr. Stock rising.

**** Florida. I'm not even mad though, because last time they pulled this they took Brisset away from us, and he looks like he sucks. And we'll be fine at RB with or without Collins.

What's the latest on Nkemdiche?

[ATLien]

99.9% to Ole Miss

[Nimreitz]

DJ Singleton finally got his shit in order and is coming in January. I guess that means he still counts for the class of 2012 in terms of numbers, so no harm no foul young fella. Just don't fail out of school.
