2017 Signees
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
Coaches change all the time. Career ending injuries can happen as well. Players should pick the school first.
@colton_dowell posted a pic of all 8 recruits here. Can anyone name them all?
Evans, Vinson, Crawford, George, Dowell.
Is #21 Nicholson? #7 Payne?
Who is #70?

#70 is Jack Bowler from Cardinal Gibbons in Raleigh, NC. He is currently committed to Holy Cross. My son played travel lacrosse with him back in Middle School. I do not know who Hagan is, but #70 is definitely Jack.

I'm just curious. When you recruit a kid to one school, then leave for another school and now recruit him to that school, what are you telling him? "Just kidding about Richmond, none of that was true, Delaware is far better for you academically and athletically." Rocco is a snako.
Hard to throw stones when we're recruiting several previous Chatty commits.
Unfortunately most kids will choose a coach over a school. They don't think about the long term of getting a degree from the school, they think about which situation gives them the best opportunity to win or play more right away. The kids love the game of football and a lot of times it's a strictly football decision. This is also the same reason that we see so many transfers in D1 sports. You have to put yourself in these kids shoes. If you are a recruit and a new coach comes in that doesn't know you or didn't recruit you previously you may not want to stay at the school. Apparently some of these kids think Rocco gives them the best chance to win or play immediately, I disagree.
Some of these kids may not feel like they fit the new offense. UTC used smaller, faster guys on the line, running QBs and multiple backs. If these kids don't feel like this gives them the best option for success, I can't blame them for flipping. They're student-athletes, not just students. The academics at UD pale in comparison to UR, but some of these recruits have other options.
On the recruiting page I see Evans is listed as decommited. Did he ever state that anywhere on his Twitter? I'd like to think we are still in good shape with him since he made a visit yesterday.
Not exactly sure what's up with him. I listed him as presumably de-committed, because he deleted all of his old tweets about UR but left a couple about his new W&M offer up.
But now he's deleted the W&M tweets as well and it looks like we're still involved based on the visit. My best guess he has quietly reopened but still heavily considering us. Haven't seen evidence of others being involved, so it might only be us and the Tribe.

would think linebacker or safety , looking at his highlights the kid sure hits hard
He brings the Payne. Sorry, couldn't resist.
This is the CAA, not the Southern Conference. If we go with smaller linemen we'll be the new Rhode Island.
I'm sure Russ is aware that you need FBS linemen in the CAA, even if we are an FCS school.
mr choppin gambini 'you'll wear a coat and tie in my courtroom,ya hear' watch how you refer to these utes
