[Papa LoneStar]

I can't wait to the conference schedule gets shuffled around next season

[psusnoop]

seems like everyone took a little jab this week from the CPU recruiting.

RC sorry about that CB.

OB, you prick on DT Clifford. Then to get kicked in the nuts by the CPU and lose DT Blount to Bama. Wow that just has me hot right now. That is 0 for 3 on DT and I was #1 on atleast 2 of them.

OB when would you like to kickoff our contest?

[Oneback]

Tonight around 9ish would probably work.

[psusnoop]

Sounds good, is that 10pm est? If so that is great.

[Oneback]

Yeah, 10p est.

[psusnoop]

Sweet, that works the best for me. Wife and kids all in bed at that time.

[psuexv]

I usually don't recruit athletes all that often and I think we've mentioned this before but I guess the game thinks the #1 Athlete is best suited for CB -

(*****) CB Tramaine Roberts has committed to USC

[psuexv]

The class that Alabama is putting together is ridiculous. That G they just stole from me was the #1 G.

[psuexv]

I bet Prime is drinking already over losing Nelson Estes - Wasn't he an FSU soft last week?

I was going after him to put him at FS.

Helps to land a recruit when you offer a scholly, get a x2, and have him in for a visit all in the same week.

[psuexv]

I was going after him to put him at FS.

Me too. That's where I need the most help in the secondary.

Yeah with Clifford and Estes you've got a nice front for the next 4 years.

[Oneback]

Just reloading, they will redshirt and then replace current juniors DT Jesse Williams (96 OVR) and RE Chris Haynes (94 OVR). Not sure yet if Estes will play LE or RE however, he looks more suited for the strong side as I would like more speed on the back side.

[fsuprime]

i knew i would not get both, I needed the RB more.

[fsuprime]

A midweek commit from a MLB takes a little of the sting out of losing those 2 LBs to TCU and Stanford, though the 3* that i lost to stanford is a absolute monster, not having a pipeline to CA hurt me big time on him, he hated all of my pitches and must have been V. High on coach xp (c+) and other stupid things FSU is C+ at for no reason.

What the heck is going on with alabama, how have we not beaten them into 5 or 4* prestige status yet lol, they are still 6* and #2 in the country!

[psuexv]

We need to get them onto somebodies schedule. I tried to schedule them this year but they started SEC play in week 1 and it just didn't work out. I will say though it is nice to see a CPU team staying competitive.

[psuexv]

not having a pipeline to CA hurt me big time on him

Stay out of Cali!

[fsuprime]

lol, i just signed a Cali OLB and am looking at signing 4 more two and one stars since i have roster space so i can have a pipeline
