I like how he says he's done with recruiting sites, as if he's a big subscriber and is gonna cancel is subscription.

12/20/2014 9:38:27 PM

hughes says he's down to 2 schools (didn't say which 2...but the 3 were state, unc, florida). and will announce monday at 11 AM

12/21/2014 12:35:35 AM

^Rumors that he's down to UF and NCSU.

12/21/2014 9:08:25 AM

If that's the case, I kinda like our chances...only because UF just hired a new coach. I imagine Hughes hasn't had much chance to really connect with UF's new coach. And they don't even have an entire staff, right? Maybe i'm just being optimistic and hopeful, but that seems like an uncertain situation to commit to at this point. But we'll have to see

12/21/2014 9:46:41 AM

can we at least teach these guys the difference between to/two/too?

12/21/2014 10:31:35 AM

and a part/apart

12/21/2014 11:06:33 AM

And the University goes at the end of nc state

12/21/2014 11:18:49 AM

So that Fraiser decommitting news...according to Pack Pride and The Wolfpacker, he's still committed to FSU. But some PP posters are cracking me up over this.

I'm a little scared about Roseboro leaving

"@DarianRoseboro: Over the week I have become friends with one of the most humble & hardworking players they are @ReidBoy_97 hope we get to play together!"

12/21/2014 4:10:50 PM

i'm pretty sure Roseboro has already signed as he is supposedly enrolling for the spring semester. even if not, I would be shocked if he flipped since he has helped recruit several others to State. maybe we could end up with Rocky if Frasier goes elsewhere? haven't heard anything about that yet, though.

on a somewhat related note (as in commits tweeting about other guys that we don't really seem to be publicly "in" with right now), McGirt tweeted this yesterday about DL Jalen Cousar out of Charlotte, who got a lot of playing time in the Shrine Bowl yesterday and looked pretty good. I think they said he had verbaled to South Carolina State during the broadcast though

Most fanbases wouldnt have to worry about such things, but we are who we are...and there is an extensive NC State shit thread to prove it

12/21/2014 4:29:18 PM

I don't know about Roseboro...but I'm fairly certain Hines, McGirt, and Huhges (obviously he hasn't committed yet) are planning on enrolling early. So that would 1) help their development for the fall and 2) keep them from decommitting.

12/21/2014 4:30:48 PM

I haven't heard that about McGirt or Hines. Last I heard Gallaspy, Roseboro, Phillips, McCoy, Nicholson and JSW were the guys expected to enroll early... maybe some of the specialists too. Hughes is supposed to be an early enrollee wherever he goes, IIRC.

Actually, Hines mentioned graduating in June in that WRAL story I posted, so I highly doubt he will enroll early.

12/21/2014 4:40:49 PM

^ok you might be right...i thought i had heard that hines announcing this early was so that he could enroll. but i might wrong

12/21/2014 5:25:30 PM

Roseboro is trying to get that Vol commit to flip

12/21/2014 5:34:31 PM

Muh Vol?!

12/21/2014 5:38:22 PM

Think some of our guys are trying to recruit Sly Tuttle. I don't expect him to make the change, but glad our guys are actively recruiting.

12/21/2014 8:25:43 PM

^ that would be awesome, but I think Tuttle is supposed to be enrolling at Tennessee in January. Between that and our # of scholarships remaining, it would be a big (but welcome) surprise.

In addition to Hughes, unrated New Bern LB Sha'mond Squires is announcing tomorrow. He has an offer for a preferred walk-on spot from both us and at UNC (not sure if he has any scholarship offers). Has a pic of himself in a State jersey as his Twitter header, for whatever that's worth. New Bern center Duncan Musselwhite already accepted a preferred walk-on spot, so we could have a bunch of kids from there next year with Taylor and Cherry already on our roster.

12/21/2014 11:37:56 PM

if rumors are true ab tuttle i would rather we left him alone. kid getting caught/let go for a dui in high school will likely continue to be an idiot.

12/21/2014 11:39:28 PM

Where did you hear that? I know Tuttle's family and I've talked to him a few times. He's a really good kid.

12/21/2014 11:54:28 PM

^yeah, i hadn't heard about that. a quick google led me to his twitter page

Has UNC even hired a defensive coordinator yet?

I wonder if he's going to regret that decision when the NCAA comes calling again...

I would imagine any more punishment at UNC would involve the basketball/baseball/women's soccer teams, not the football team.

12/22/2014 11:24:41 AM

UNC doesn't have a DC yet. So, to me, it would seem odd not even knowing who is coordinator is and committing. But maybe relationships with the position coaches are just as important. I dunno.

I just really hate reading stuff on PP and elsewhere mad at the recruit or questioning his character for picking UNC. Whatever...he can go wherever he wants. This one is kinda what I'm talking about:

" He's a carolina blue turd all the way and was just screwing with us. He'll fit right in over there."

Also lol worthy is that he apparently took his official visit to UNC the weekend we played (and stomped) them.

12/22/2014 11:30:23 AM

^^ yeah i guess he found out how much playing time was available over there while watching us destroy them.

silver lining is we still have decent young depth in the secondary. only 1 senior CB (Burris) and 2 senior safeties (Hakim & Buckley). Tocho, Dravious, Clark, Sessoms, and Paul are all juniors, but we have a half dozen rising sophomores, 3 guys that redshirted as freshmen last year, and 2 more incoming freshmen. with the momentum we have on the recruiting trail (today notwithstanding), i think the coaches can still find a decent player to use the scholarship.

[Edited on December 22, 2014 at 11:47 AM. Reason : a]

12/22/2014 11:36:07 AM

Roseboro and Gallaspy keep hinting at a big secret they cant tell yet.

Hope its Frasier, and then again I hope its someone else too..some other big time players.

Hughes made a terrible choice. NO coordinator on D? they must have offered him a spot on offense.

12/22/2014 11:49:08 AM

Sucks. That was surprising, considering the confidence of some of the more "in-the-know" folks. Oh well, more room for some of the other guys who haven't committed or are rumored to decommit that keep getting mentioned

12/22/2014 11:57:56 AM

Don't worry I hear Rocky Reid is decommitting from Tennessee we can use that scholarship on another RB

12/22/2014 12:06:10 PM

that'll be perfect for the exotic offense we're gonna start running with six RBs in the backfield

Yeah guys, explain our offense again for the 15th time this week.

UNCs new Defensive Coordinator is a stellar recruiter.

Quote :

"they must have offered him a spot on offense."

Rumor is that he was told they would give him a look at QB last week. Sounds like a desperate move to get a leg up on the competition that actually worked. The coaches know full well he he'll never take a snap at QB in college.

12/22/2014 12:52:51 PM

The silver lining is, while we may have missed on him, it's not like his commitment alone is what would determine the success of this recruiting class. Hines, Roseboro, McGirt...possibly still Fraiser. There's some legitimate studs (from a recruiting standpoint...who knows how anybody will pan out) in this class with or without Huhges. Still, a bummer we missed on him. Especially considering how confident many folks seemed to be.

Our class is currently ranked 11th in the conference. So any 3 or 4* recruit is going to help. We need to pull up the average from all of the 2 stars we already signed.

12/22/2014 1:19:36 PM

Stars!!!

12/22/2014 1:21:15 PM

^4 true, i just meant it more as it's not necessarily as big of a loss in terms of immediate positional need as, say, McGirt would have been. we are becoming pretty well stocked at most positions (QB and WR being possible exceptions with regard to depth), but a strong OT was a must in this class, IMO.


^^ Rivals has a lot of our guys as 2-stars that have 3 elsewhere, so I'm not sure who all you're referring to, but one of our 2-stars is a long snapper who's in the top 10 for his position according to just about everyone. another 2-star (according to Rivals) holds a Clemson offer and was just named defensive player of the year in Georgia's second highest HS classification.

I think you missed my point. Obviously we want to get as many good players as possible. I wish Hughes would've committed to us, of course. The reality is, we aren't going to get every single one we go after. And it's nice that we already, regardless of Hughes, have a nice class. 11th in the ACC is somewhat misleading because we have fewer committments (we took a big class last year and don't have as many available schollies), but higher rated players than schools ahead of us. If you go by "star average" we're 8th in the ACC. Which isn't great, but it's not bad considering where we've been in the recent past. And we have twelve 3 or 4 stars...only five recruits 2 star or less (using Rivals). So we aren't exactly stocking up on 2 stars, believe it or not. This is turning into a solid class.

Of course, rankings are flawed and we all know that stars aren't the end all, be all of recruiting. But if you're gonna argue that this is a particularly weak class based on stars - you're wrong.

If you go by average stars, this class is on par with last year's. Both of which would be our best class(es) since 2010.

Edit, for the sake of completeness here are the stats for this class from Scout and 247 as well - I used Rivals for the stuff above:

And that's 13 3/4 stars according to Scout (out of 17 commitments) and 16 3/4 stars according to 247. Scout also has us as #40 overall, same as Rivals, but #8 in the ACC. 247 has us #35 overall and #7 in the ACC
