Steffan Johnson decommit
- Thread starter Roy_Faulker
- Start date
Just one more example of why people should not get excited over verbals this early in the game.
There will be more.
There will be more.
Another open ship for Rutgers but good luck to the kid .
There is no class until they sign. It’s barely worth following.
This year is going to be worse than past years. Once things really start to open up and kids start making visits it going to be hard to keep up. So many kids are committing not having visited many schools or even the school they committed to.
If we don’t play in 2020 and player visits diminish even somewhat I think e keep most . You always lose a few and gain a few along the way . It is something different and makes us hopefully wiser.
I honestly don't know if things are gonna open up: I could see the exact opposite happening.
We should go back after him AND his buddy Brantley. MSU.. offering guys who verballed to us... how dare they! Heck.. go through MSU's whole commit list and find someone to weasel away.. maybe someone at Johnson's position.
If they don’t I see the NCAA pushing back signing periods until they do. Either way there will likely be a lot of movement.
Yeah find someone to steal away just because. This only sounds like a good strategy only from a fan's perspective...lol.
Revenge is a popular sentiment among opposing fans.
I mean don't get me wrong they do have a DB from MD that I like a lot. Ash offered the kid but Schiano never did. Kid is listed at 5'11" so he's maybe just a tad under that and GS likes taller DBs.
MICHIGAN- -NJ. Not much ,if any difference in distance from FLORIDA.
Ash offered lots of good players, just never got much of a sniff from them. He would send out like over 400 offers each year.
No recruit in the 2021 class is an Ash recruit. Every kid with an RU offer, currently 99, is based on Schiano either re-offering the recruit or issuing it for the first time to the recruit. Quite a few didn't get re-offered.
I can tell you this kid was barely on the radar when Schiano took his commit. Even though he was offered in late January (per TOS) the mods hadn't mentioned him really as a top target prior to his commit. So we were a little surprised on the pay side when it happened. He's very athletic but raw, still needs a year or two before he's on the field as a DB between S&C and technique.
I've been high on him for awhile now. Just not sure he's RU bound.
RU currently has Davis, Fox, Patterson and Parsons (2020 blueshirt) at WR & Salaam is a Blackshear type RB in this class.
Unless we have another D or O line guy come aboard I’ll take a guy who can play specials ,WR or even in the D backfield... but things right now are somewhat fluid... I still want Estime and VanDerMark.
Ash never offered, Greg offered.
Greg would never accept a commitment from someone who he did not offer. It is not that hard to understand, just a little common sense.
It was already bad. I stopped following this stuff years ago. None of it matters until they sign. Then you know what your class looks like.
How do we know the vernal was accepted. I’m guessing it was but coaches are not allowed to comment on it so how do we know?
Recruiting sites will validate that the commit was accepted especially if it's a lesser known player.
Best if luck k to hi. But I have a feeling he will regret that decision down the road....MSU is a dumpster fire
