Glennon and Manning would be huge if we got them at the end of the week

I hope Dwayne Allen pulls a switch-a-roo as well but i think state HAS to go to a bowl game this year for that to happen

Eddie Whitley has mixed reports a/b where he is leading at, some say state and others say VT. One thing though is even if commits to VT he seems like one of those players that we'd be recruiting and hoping to get til signing day b/c of his connections with our current recruits. The Shrine Bowl will be interesting with our recruits trying to reel in more talent

I'd lay off putting down Gastonia, we had the highest murder rate per capita in the country for seven years in a row when I was a kid, for stuff much less serious than internet bashing

6/26/2007 11:09:46 PM

^ way to perpetuate the "slum" view buddy

If we land Whitley and Charest, do you guys think Spencer Adams follows (they all go to the same school)?

6/26/2007 11:31:35 PM

^i dont think charest comes here.....i think Glennon is our guy

6/27/2007 12:23:25 AM

North Carolina State
Auburn
Clemson
Florida
Michigan
USC
Virginia Tech

DAMN that's a stout offer list. I don't care what else is said about this kid, that's the only part I need to see. If the USC, UF, and Michigan thinks he's good enough to offer on, then I'm sold.

E.J. Manuel makes his decision today at 5:30

down to:
FSU
LSU
Maryland
Miami
UNC

with FSU, LSU the front runners

6/27/2007 10:09:20 AM

^^its taking some time for me to get used to being a good thing

6/27/2007 10:27:24 AM

^^EJ Manuel - can you give me some background? in-state prospect?

Not only this, but schools like USC don't even need to leave the state of California to get theirs, and neither does Florida need to leave the state, it tells me this kid is a huge pickup.

Manuel is one of the Top QB's in the country, from VA. Think he announces for FSU today, but who knows.

Exactly, which makes the fact Pete Carroll visited his school to meet with his coaches personally that much more impressive. We got a good one. Pete was selling to Barnes' coach the fact that Barnes reminded him of reggie bush and felt he could be the same type player at USC.

6/27/2007 10:50:59 AM

^^ yeah, most places have him #2-3 QB in the country... I am thinking FSU too

6/27/2007 11:10:56 AM

Has anyone been keeping up with Terrell Pryor's recruitment? I haven't paid him any attention the last couple of months. (One of the nations top QB's/bball players)

6/27/2007 11:30:53 AM

You down with TOB, yeah you know me

6/27/2007 11:31:01 AM

^^ supposedly offered from Alabama Florida Georgia Tech Michigan Michigan State Notre Dame
Ohio State Penn State Tennessee Texas and West Virginia. No idea which way he is leaning though.

6/27/2007 11:39:50 AM

^ from what I have heard (i.e. the internet) he likes Penn State and Texas a lot.

6/27/2007 12:23:05 PM

lots of rumors that Manuel is headed to FSU

6/27/2007 1:24:51 PM

I think we should compare BC's recruiting and State's recruiting.

6/27/2007 7:23:24 PM

he picked FSU

6/27/2007 7:39:55 PM

Hansen is prolly a lock to UNC anyways



just look at his face and u can tell he's going to unc

That guy has douche written all over his face.

6/27/2007 8:24:37 PM

not Auburn?

6/27/2007 8:42:51 PM

^ I would think Auburn too

A lot of their fans wear coats and ties to the games. Their level of douchebaggery comes close to Carolina and their program is way better.

6/27/2007 10:12:08 PM

ACC All Access on Fox Sports South or whatever

6/27/2007 11:33:29 PM

Tony Barnhardt said with TOB, State will have the biggest improvement over last year in the whole conference

6/27/2007 11:56:50 PM

^After last year there are too many places to go but up

6/27/2007 11:58:48 PM

sounds like Glennon and Manning may not commit as fast as we hoped. Hopefully if Glennon gets the offer then he will pull the trigger.

I got a good/bad feeling a/b Manning though. The good part is that we have always heard good news when it comes to Manning and have seemed to be his leader the whole time.

The bad news is that every day he goes uncommited gives another team a chance to sneak in there. This may just be a patience thing but the way i feel is if he doesn't commit by the weekend its going to be a LONG battle to get him especially with him taking trips to other schools. The only thing a/b Manning is we KNOW we are the leader and it will make it that much worse if we lose him to someone.


Lets just hope these two come to the Pack especially Manning b/c he is a must get for our program

6/28/2007 12:28:37 AM

^supposedly he was amped up about his visit for camp and after the 7 on 7's at Harnett Central, he wanted to come and commit, but his coach advised him to go home and think about it to make sure he wasn't making a rash decision that he would later back out on just because he was so amped up after the visit.

The truth of the whole matter is that manning planned on announcing end of july/beg of august anyways.....so lets just wait it out. With both he and glennon, news could come tomorrow, or it could come weeks from now.....thats the fun of recruiting

6/28/2007 12:49:23 AM

awwww dip....

gg Red Tom . If we land 2/3 of these guys then I wouldnt say he is doing a worse job of recruiting compared to Amato at all.... and that was Chuck's M.O.

6/28/2007 8:53:23 AM

what one person mentioned on one of the state sites is that Manning might want a little spot light with a press conference. In a recent article he said all teams were even when we know thats not true. That guy said Barnes prolly stole a lot of his thunder so now he can plan a press conference and get a lot of buzz from it.


Thats just wishful thinking anyways

6/28/2007 9:39:18 AM

good thing for us, Tom can coach too!

6/28/2007 9:39:28 AM

Glennon to NC STATE!

http://northcarolinastate.scout.com/2/655219.html

Quote :

""I committed to NC State about an hour ago," said Glennon. "They offered me the scholarship last night and I wanted to tell the other colleges of my decision." In his junior season in 2006, Glennon completed 123 of 205 passes for 1,662 yards with 18 touchdowns to only five interceptions. Westfield went 11-1 on the season, falling in the regional championship game. Glennon chose NC State over offers from Michigan, Florida State, Miami, Virginia, and Virginia Tech among others. "

6/28/2007 3:06:36 PM

Sweet, I'll have to go see Glennon play next year. I'm hoping he is better than his brother.

I like the way this class is shaping up already.

6/28/2007 3:21:47 PM

Kinda feels like the summer of 2002

6/28/2007 3:23:11 PM

nice, love how tall he is, 6'6... TOB isnt fucking around

6/28/2007 3:28:33 PM

hell yeah - Red Tom is kicking some ass in recruiting. I can't wait until a few years from now when we have a team full of O'Brien's recruits and his system fully in place

6/28/2007 3:43:28 PM

Damn, the last couple weeks have been ridiculous for the Pack!
Tom O'Brien = N.C. State Return to Glory

6/28/2007 3:46:38 PM

also got a commitment from a sleeper named Earl Wolfe

he was supposedly big time at the camp last week

he's a 6'0 190 lb ATH from Hoke County

TOB is killin it on the recruiting trail!



[Edited on June 28, 2007 at 4:08 PM. Reason : go pack]

6/28/2007 4:07:31 PM

time to reel in Manning and then go to work on Mattes.

6/28/2007 4:11:27 PM

RED TOM!

6/28/2007 4:19:06 PM

expect Glennon to move up the boards when Scout.com gets his film. He's the #5 Pro Style QB and a 4* on rivals but somethin like the #16 QB and 3* on Scout. The reason for that is because he didn't go to any Scout combines nor have they seen his film yet. Once they see his film, he should jump into atleast the top 10 and a 4*. This kid was/is invited to the Elite 11 QB Camp afterall....

and about Earl Wolff.....that kid is stout. You should see the pictures of him over on scout....his legs are like tree trunks. He's 6'0 190 right now....his upper body could prolly hold another 10 lbs....he should be 6'0 200 atleast by the time he starts playin. He's got some of the thickest legs i've ever seen on a HS recruit.

[Edited on June 28, 2007 at 4:24 PM. Reason : wolff]

6/28/2007 4:23:09 PM

^ Sounds awesome, thanks dood.

6/28/2007 4:30:32 PM

bwahahaha, and yall pick on hansen for looking like a douche?

6/28/2007 4:41:15 PM

^hanson looks like a faggot. Glennon just has a hell of a baby face and a bit of a sun problem, lol

btw, heres a pic of Wolff that i was talkin about

6/28/2007 4:43:49 PM

anyone who wants to laugh at some 16year old UNC douches turn it to channel 10 righ tnow
