2013 Recruiting Thread

[MattTheEagle]

This really unlike when he said that he loved the Stank Daziani hire so long as he didn't bring his coordinators from Temple. But, is excited to see what Chase Rettig can do with Ryan Day calling plays.

[DomingoOrtiz]

I am not sure how much we needed a kicker in this class so hopefully we can use the spot for a higher need. By my math, we only have 17 spots for this class and now have 16 commits.

I thought the number was higher for this class, around 21-23.

I get 69 players on scholarship and that does not include any former walkons, Shinskie or Kaleb Ramsey. So it would actually be 16 spots available (I missed Matthews the first time).

[NJM89]

Michael Geiger was actually probably the most talented player in this class. He was the #1 rated kicker according to rivals. That's a sucky loss.

After the SuperFan and seeing what Freese can do, it is a huge loss. I have no faith in Adazzio if he cant keep the few guys we have around.

Freese went 18-20 fg wit 24-24 for xps. Looks pretty good to me

[31southst]

Spaz for whatever reason liked to offer kickers a year before we truly needed them (see Freese and Howell redshirting). If Howell is a decent punter, we don't need a kicker in this class. While it's disappointing to lose someone who is clearly good, it happened so fast that I don't find it a knock on Addazio. However, if we start losing guys like Willis and Daniesl after Daz gets in-home visits, that's a very bad sign.

[EagleNYC]

Billy Bennett was also the number one kicker in the country. Just saying

[BCEagles25]

Nate Freese is one of the better kickers in the country, and has an NFL leg. However, the problem with Geiger de-committing is that Freese will eventually have to graduate someday and Geiger would take his spot. Can't believe I have to explain this.

Are you not familiar with Alexander Howell?

[commavegarage]

For everyone who says we have Howell for 3 years, if he's so good why didn't he punt this year over walk on Gerald levano who really was not good.

Exactly. And if Al Louis Jean is so good, why didn't he take Spiffy Evans' spot at WR? Spiffy was bad, too.

You people are crazy as fuck.

there are like 5 people in this thread with hundreds of posts that i had never seen. let the weird0s be weird0s

Addazio visiting all remaining committed recruits and supposedly going after a big time South Florida dual threat QB decommit.

Asiantii Woulard. He's legit. Jeff Badet also decommitted from them, maybe he's recruiting both? I think they are pretty good friends if I remember correctly

EDIT: Nvm, I was thinking the UCF WR. Bdet was recruited by BC and had them in his top 3, he will probably commit if Addazio wants him.

No i think you are right. Badet was committed to USF and picked them over BC. I think Louisville is back in play since he de commited as is BC. Badet goes to the same high school as Kevin Maurice (Freedom HS in Orland) who is also a BC recruit.

The Rivals guys said he is visiting Daniels, Milano, Willis, Barksdale (not Avon), Kavalec, Monteroso and John Johnson this week.

Chris Née from 247 says Raphael Webb (RB from Gainesville) expects offer by end of week.

Out of curiosity, where are the scholarships coming from for these guys? I was under the impression Spaz liked to wrap up recruiting by August and that we only had a few schollies left. Glad to see Addazio out there, but not sure how many new guys we can take.

I assume they are expecting further attrition from the current recruiting class and probably some current players.

[ATLeagle]

If he takes Woulard I imagine the other QBs will see the writing on the wall a la Kenny Plue. I doubt we take 3 QBs in one class.

Do you see more than 16 available scholarships right now?

[cvilleagle]

Watched some Woulard highlights. He looks very, very good.

[hinghameagle]

I get the sense that Wouliard is better suited for the type of offense that Dazz will want to run rather than the Boyle/Suntrip, Lowrie, combo.

[mjago410]

Does anyone know how serious the Woulard thing is? Cause this kid won the MVP award at the Elite 11 ESPN thing.
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/8268974/final-elite-11-rankings
That would be some signing.

I have no idea how serious it is (my guess would be we have a chance but aren't the favorite), it is a little concerning that even though he is a 4 star and has accolades like you mention in your post that his best offers are on the level of Us, Cinci, Duke, Wake, UConn, Indiana, Cuse, USF, and Maryland and that he has interest but no offer from a lot of bigger programs. I would see that as telling that there is some significant flaw to his game. Based on the offers it seems like academics are not going to be a concern.

As everyone knows, I have always been a proponent of recruiting 1 QB each year. I am also a fan of having BOTH drop-back passers and spread-type Qbs in your program (this is really not unlike where ND finds itself most years). Ideally, I would take all 3 Boyle and Woulard. In fact, weren't we all basically justifying the Lowrie verbal because he could play other positions in college if things didn't work out? Isn't this the same logic with Bordner and Rettig in the same class?

[UK Eagle]

Are we actually talking about recruiting? Don't think we'd be having the conversation if Spaz we're still in charge

Can you provide an example of a BC qb recruit who played meaningful downs as a non-qb at BC? Is there anyone other than Boek who has played at all? I feel like there might have been in the late 90s-early 2000s but I can't think of who it would be. While hopefully Addazio is a superior roster manager to spaz, I think in all likelihood in practice you would end up losing one of your two qb recruits early on in their careers if you do the spread and drop back wait and see approach.

You aren't advocating that the Bordner/Rettig usage was tenable are you?
