2015 Recruiting Thread

[fsuprime]

[espnu150][5star]RB (#2) Robbie Smith 5'9 203 lbs, Niceville, FL

Robbie possesses great acceleration and strength when running through the hole. FSU expects him to be an impact player after a redshirt season. He was a life long nole and signed immediately during summer camp.

[espnu150][5star]DT (#2) Fred James 6'3 261 lbs, Bellview, FL

Fred inked with the noles upon offer also growing up a huge fan of the garnet and gold. He has great acceleration, strength, and nearly flawless tackling ability, after a year or two with his new DL coach he should have the moves to make a big impact on the line.

[espnu150][4star]TE (#3) Micah Slater 6'4 230 lbs, Cutler, FL

Micah comes in at a position of need and will instantly become 2nd string when he arrives on campus. He has good speed and catching ability, but his stiffness leaves him less of a star than the previous two stud TEs FSU has signed.

[espnu150][4star]OT (#6) Cory George 6'6 330 lbs, East Bradenton, FL

Cory saw the depth chart during an unofficial visit and instantly new where he wanted to spend the next 4 years of his life. He has excellent foot work and strength in the passing and running games but requires some time being trained on his overall technique. You can't teach his mammoth size though.

... wow.

Wisconsin manages to sign their first ever in Week 1... signing two in fact.


Walter Tyler
#3 WR | #19 OVR

6'0" 200 lbs
Crawfordsville, IN
Tyler is a special player with the abilities to step on the field day 1 for practically any team and compete. His speed isn't top-end for a receiver but his ability to catch any pass that is thrown in his direction makes you quickly overlook that fact. Combined with what he's able to do with the ball once he has it, he's sure to be a force that Big 10 defenses will have to contend with for several years to come. Depending on the rest of the Wisconsin recruiting class, Tyler has potential to split duties at runningback.


Thomas Pratt
#2 C | #42 OVR

6'4" 317 lbs
South Greeley, WY
Pratt is a huge body with mobile feet and the awareness that you look for in a blindside offensive tackle. With only two tackles returning in 2016, the Badgers were looking for someone exactly as Pratt is developed. With his early signing, they'll be able to branch out elsewhere for talent.

[JeffHCross]

The Aggies hit pay dirt with their first two calls of 2015.

Joseph White
#6 SS | #61 OVR

Galveston, TX
6'0" 183 lbs
Hard Hitter
White will be welcomed into College Station to shore up a defensive backfield lacking in both talent and tackling power. With both Oklahoma and Texas on his interest list, White was a surprise early commitment to the Aggies.

Robert Manning
#6 TE

Fort Stockton, TX
6'4" 243 lbs
Blocking
The Aggies entered 2015 with a massive headache at Tight End, especially with the impending graduation of Senior TE Williams. Manning must have heard of this need before the recruiting period opened, because he committed to the Aggies after only twenty minutes into their first phone call of the Recruiting season. Coach JeffHCross was said to be overjoyed by the commitment, as it reduced a lot of the recruiting anxiety he had entering this year.

Josh Moore
MLB #4
6'5"
246lbs
W Lake Stevens, WA

Man Coverage C-
Zone Coverage C
Pursuit B-

Josh is an intimidating player. Standing 6'5" in the middle of the field gives Quarterbacks the shakes as he closes a lot of windows that normally would be open. Surprisingly for his frame he also has good speed and wraps up tackles very well. Josh will probably use a redshirt year to determine if he can play LB at the college level or become a stand-up DE.

Week 3 still no commits, but I have 7 guys coming in for visits for the game against WVU. I'm hoping to land a couple atleast after this week.

[espnu150][4star]OT (#5) Lamont Schroeder 6'4 290 lbs, Bayou Vista, LA

Lamont see's a chance at early PT at FSU and has the skills to make it happen. He chose FSU over Texas.

He wouldn't have seen the field here at the University of Texas until 2018 so screwwww him. *sour grapes tone*

[psusnoop]

PSU is really struggling to get that first commit, but the staff feels confident that once they get one then the gates will open wide and many will follow.

[Papa LoneStar]

I'm looking to blow the door open with the advance to week 7

I can't wait until you blow your lid when that #1 WR commits on his Week 6 visit to LA

[JeffHCross]

I won't get another visit until Week 10

[JeffHCross]

And the downside/upside of doing a week over in recruiting rears it's ugly head.

[Papa LoneStar]

I got him to commit the first go round....but I think I forgot to upload it to the server....then it just showed that I did all my recruiting, but did't show him as a commit the next time I logged in. I'm just hoping I have a shot to bring all of these guys in....last year....I got burned by scheduling 13 and only 5 making it in.
