4* QB Christian Veilleux out of Maryland (initially from Canada). Beat Clemson for him.

Not waiting on 5* QB Caleb Williams who’s likely headed to Oklahoma anyway.

A couple of teams have bailed on the Williams saga train.

Georgia moved on and took Vandagriff because he was ready to commit when he decommitted from Oklahoma. Looks like the right move because in-state recruiting looks as good as it has been in any of the recent cycles.

I’d imagine LSU closes out eventually with Nussmeier too.

I doubt he’d realistically entertain the possibility of going to Clemson given the QB they signed last year. Alabama’s without a QB too but same situation like Clemson.

He might realistically end up with Oklahoma & Maryland as his options in the end.

IDK about Nussmeier and LSU. Chase Daniel from USC is in the transfer portal and is rumored to be looking heavily at joining up with Orgeron in Baton Rouge. If he goes there, he’ll be the starter for two years at least.

We’ll see. Unless Daniels can play right away he losses some value.

It looks like that 1 time transfer with no sit out rule might get pushed back to 2021.

Daniels is more of a pocket passer than the SC offense needs. Slovis fits there so, most likely, CD will leave. The only thing holding him back is his loyalty to SC and how close he is to graduating already. The pocket passer is the type of thing that LSU’s offense seems to want so CD may be nan ideal fit for them.

Chase Daniel got an extra year of eligibility?

 

[renberg]

Played as a frosh; redshirted last season. He has three years of eligibility left if he wants to use them.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It’s JT Daniels.

But it wouldn’t surprise me if that con artist Chase Daniel managed to get another year of eligibility.

Apparently the NCAA Football games are still a no go even under these rule changes.

I guess the compensation for that would be challenging or whatever without a players union & the fact it’s like 130 teams with 85 scholarship players.

I saw that, very unfortunate

Another big singing by Penn State yesterday... #1 kicker in the nation baby!!

Tennessee has to be one of those teams actually hoping the season never happens for recruiting purposes at this point?

ESPN released their FPI rankings today.

I hope they get rid of divisions across the board if playoff expansion happens. It’s f***ing stupid in the Big Ten specifically with Ohio State, Penn State, & Michigan all being in the same division.

The East division is 6-0 in the conference championship game since they made the divisions geographical.

Especially if you give out automatic bids to power conference winners.

They do love their questionable character types. Pruitt is trying to cut the corners on rebuilding the program and is basically taking a flier on a bunch of kids.

I think we were in the final five for that 5* LBer they just got. Not really sure how hard we were recruiting him though as I think it’s been rumored he assaulted a teacher or some shit.

I feel like their recruiting pitch is essentially riding the coattails of the SEC allure despite not really contributing to it themselves.

I honestly think in general there’s probably going to be more decommits around the country than normal if/when things open back up.

@LegionOfDoom91

Penn State football enters the mix for Pa. prospect, Clemson baseball commit, Lonnie White Jr.

247Sports has him as 4* on their own rankings but they’re always tweaking them on top of their large ranking updates. He’s a composite 3* but like I said before it will probably change now they know he’s actually playing football.

Like Rivals has him as 2* for example which I just imagine was a placeholder type of thing due to unknown as to whether he would even play football or not. They’re updating their rankings next week so I’d imagine he’ll get a bump there now. They only do large scale updates throughout the cycle.

That's awesome! Wonder where they'll have him play. They just got the 4* QB, so I'm guessing WR. Didn't read the article, so if it's in there, whoops. Thank God Dabo didn't reach out and try to keep him at Clemson

He’s got crazy position flexibility given his athleticism & size/frame. He’s not playing QB for Malvern Prep this year. He’s going to play WR on offense & S/LB on defense for them.

247Sports switched his position from QB to Athlete. They had him as 85 on their grade scale which is like a mid 3* as a QB. They bumped him to a 90 which is a low 4* star when they graded him as an Athlete.

Him & Liam Clifford are probably WR’s for now but they both have positional flexibility to the defensive side of the ball too depending what else they do at WR this cycle. They still have 4*’s Donte Thornton, Jalil Farooq, & Kaden Prather on the board that they’re probably in the top group of schools at worst for all those guys. Prather is probably on commit watch to Penn State.

Tua’s younger brother. Alabama signed one of the top players/QBs in the nation this past cycle in Bryce Young out of California.
