I agree. The proof will be in the pudding, and we haven't finished with our recruitment yet.
BTW, do you realize that you have as many "likes" as you do "posts?"
Quite a distinction.
2017 Signees

- Start date

Most scouting services never provide the complete picture for any of the FCS programs - Rivals included. They do not even show three of the commits in the list for UR, and provide zero visibility into most of the CAA or other FCS conferences. Scout, 247 and ESPN are all the same.
It is so subjective when they do rank these kids -look at the kids from VA (9 of them) on the Hero Sports list and then compare it to how Rivals ranked the VA kids. Only four of the top 45 players ranked by Rivals are going to FCS programs, and two of them are part of UR's 2017 class. The two others (Drew - Villanova and Mitchell - W&M) do show up on both lists, but what about the other 7 on this guy's Top 250?
This is one analyst from FL trying to assimilate all of this data - and incomplete data set to boot - so a truly difficult task to accurately complete.

fball, I'll own the Rivals misses on our class, as I'm typically the one that updates that list. 50% of our guys aren't in the Rivals database prior to my input, meaning they're not really on the radar for the greater Rivals service. The other guys still need to be manually added to our class and I've been travelling 2 of the last 3 weeks as well as finishing my MBA. I'm anticipating life to return to more normal form this weekend and have the guys on my to do list.
Harvard #1, Yale #5 and Penn #12 is sort of tough to digest.
not to be a downer A but life is never normal again once you are married, have kids........
Which is why I phrased it as "more normal." It's all relative, right?
LOL....I'm going to remember this post when we smoke the Yalies in 2019 and 2020.
Given the timing, they have to be PWO.
Good to have another Red Bank Regional Buccaneer in the family.

How so? I suspect they're PWOs, but why do they have to be? Huesman said we had 'ships left.
Jimmy Abate- Charlotte Catholic High School
Positions: TE, DE
Height & Weight: 6'4" 198lbs
Class of: 2017
If I have the right guy, there are numerous highlights of him on HUDL. However, they are all of him playing basketball. Not sure what the story behind the story is.

Here you go.
Same High School as Tafon Mainsah, David Herlocker, and Adam Farley. One of the most successful programs in NC in the last 15 years. Great coaching. I'm assuming he's an PWO.

Looks like he has the eating and lifting potential to become a rugged TE at 6-4,245.
Let's get him with Adam Farley and we can make that happen.

I hope Coach Appel applies the same weight training and diet program to Jimmy as he did Adam Farley. I know Adam was one of Coach Appel's favorite student-athletes over the years.

Although he is listed on their 2017 roster.
Something funny is definitely going on here. Admissions can't be rearing its head again, can it?
Looks like he flipped back to Holy Cross on April 10.

HC bloggers have it wrong.DR did not recruit Jack but rather the former UTC coaches while at UTC.It was the reason he originally signed an LOI with UR.
Guess we released him from his LOI about 2 months after his signing.
