Question: 2011 Remaining Targets

[CapstoneGrad06]

i have heard great things about IC and Rome lately especially IC. Also Clowney as i stated in another thread we are definatly in it but USCE should be ashamed with what they are having to do to stay in it. I still believe it will back fire and he will be in Crimson. Also thanks I enjoy giving info about things at the appropriate time. One last thing i am hearing more and more Hart might just be picking Bama this friday. However, it wouldn't surprise me either way.

What is this about?

The usual rumors every fan base has heard about every school doing to every recruit.

I was going to say the only thing I have heard regarding JC is maybe a slight learning disability in the classroom and that USC would work with him getting in as I am sure any school including UA would.

IOW, it likely ain't true.

Hearing Brassell commited to Miss State. Great pickup for Mullen.

Per scout.

I disagree. I believe we have a legitimate shot at four of these: Cyrus,Crowell,Allen, and Ward not Clowney and Steward.

You're missing my point. I'm aware of the surface-deep disparity between those two statements. I'm just saying it can be both.

The point is that the hype reaches such a ridiculous level that no one single player could ever live up to it no matter how great that player turns out to be. People talk about Clowney like he's a guy who'll get 30+ sacks a year and who will make or break programs based on who he signs with. Same thing with Randle. It was almost like he was going to average 15 catches and five touchdowns per game, and he alone was doing to decide who controlled the SEC West depending on who he signed with.

It's just all junk. This is not basketball. It's the ultimate team game. You need about 60 good football players, and no one player is ever that good.

Thats all true, but Jadeveon Clowney is one of the most talented DE's Ive watched at high school level....he IS one of those players that would instantly make the other defensive linemen better by being on the field.

Thats what a great player does, they draw attention and allow others to look more talented as a result.

I, for one, hope that before signing day, we can pull Clowney from USCe, and into our class.

will he get 30 sacks a year...absolutely not. Will he improve our pass rush by being a dominant player on the line...without a doubt.
