Florida State Gets Marvin Wilson

... fifth by Rivals and sixth by 247 __link__. While there were misses Wednesday, FSU’s class hit with an early-enrollee group that includes five-star tailback Cam Akers, five-star defensive back Joshua Kaindoh and four-star cornerback Stanford Samuels III. “Our guys say they fit right in, look like the guys who have been here already,” coach Jimbo Fisher said. “Those guys are all adjusting, already going to classes. Workouts have started, guys have adopted them and players say they like them. They say ‘Coach, they fit right in.’ ”. FSU proved to be the right fit for many prospects. None of those who made verbal commitments to FSU backed off their pledges. FSU signed 14 players Wednesday, including five-star tailback Khalan Laborn, four-star receiver D. J. Matthews, four-star defensive tackle Ja’len Parks and four-star safety Hamsah Nasrilideen. The group also includes a pair of quarterbacks — four-star early enrollee Bailey Hockman and Glades Central three-star quarterback James Blackman. “Really intelligent football instincts and knowledge ...

Urban Meyer's Signing Day Wish List

... fill out his class before signing day arrives on Wednesday? We’ll find out in the coming days. But until then, here’s what the Ohio State head coach’s final wish list looks like as his sixth signing day with the Buckeyes approaches. An elite defensive tackle. For all of the impressive hauls Meyer has put together over the course of the past five years, one position has eluded him on the recruiting trail since arriving at Ohio State. Despite having signed four top-5 classes in the last five years, Meyer has yet to ink an elite defensive lineman. In the coming days, the sixth-year Ohio State head coach will do his best to change that. Throughout the 2017 cycle, the Buckeyes have consistently been linked to a pair of top-level defensive tackles, 5-star prospect  Marvin Wilson and 4-star DT Jay Tufele. As of now, 247 Sports’ Crystal Ball doesn’t favor Ohio State to land either player. And on Friday’s “Inside the Shoe” Ohio State podcast , 247 Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong pegged Wilson to LSU and Tufele to ...

One Of The Best Classes We've Sign In 19 Years

... over the past two seasons definitely didn’t hurt. On Wednesday, Stoops and his assistant coaches celebrated a 27-man recruiting class, which ranked in the top 10 of every major recruiting service for the first time since 2010. “I feel like we signed one of the best classes we’ve signed in 19 years,” Stoops said during a news conference. “I love the balance of it. There are 13 offensive guys, 13 defensive guys and one specialist. “We did a great job of answering our needs.”. It was a drama-free signing day for the Sooners. Coaches and fans didn’t have to sweat out a late announcement. In fact, the entire class — counting the 11 players already on campus — had their signed letters of intent to OU by 8:18 a.m., just 78 minutes after the allowed submission time. The brunt of the class comes from Texas (nine players) and Oklahoma (six). Since Stoops’ first day on campus, he’s focused on that recruiting territory. But OU also welcomed the other dozen players from seven different states, ...

4 Big Things To Watch On National Signing Day 2017

... my picks for those announcements, how to watch, and what not. Below are my three big storylines to be clued into. Roll Tide, Roll. One thing that doesn’t look to be in doubt is that Alabama will finish No. 1 in the 247 Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings for a seventh straight year. The question is, is this the best class Nick Saban and his staff have signed during this unprecedented run. They’ll need a big day to get there but it could certainly happen. Alabama starts the day with 25 commits — five that hold a five-star grade, 15 that hold a four-star grade and an average ranking of 93.10. The overall Team Composite score checks in at 312.69, which is already better than what they finished with in 2016, 2015, 2012 and 2011. The 319.58 composite from 2014 is highest Alabama has ever had, and the 93.64 from the class of 2015 is their highest average player ranking. If Alabama closes five-star defensive lineman La Bryan Ray ...

Fsu Makes Final Pitch To 5-star Recruit Marvin Wilson

... targets. He got to work out over the summer with future potential linemates in Ja’Len Parks and Corey Durden, both at FSU’s camp and at Nike’s The Opening. FSU has had success in recruiting the city, just last year landing Dontavious Jackson, who has certainly been involved with the recruitment. He has a great relationship with both his area recruiter and position coach. And FSU’s current crop of early enrollees are also heavily in his ear. Several have made cryptic tweets that could be interpreted as FSU landing Wilson. So good to have the boss here in the H. Amazing lov for the Noles all day! Tonight it goes down! Go Noles. — Tim Brewster (@Tim Brewster) January 26, 2017. Will it be enough to beat out LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma? I think it might. The worry, of course, is that Wilson has a strong relationship with LSU defensive line coach Pete Jenkins, and the new Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron, who is a former defensive tackles coach and DT himself. LSU is also only a third of the distance from Houston that Tallahassee is. That makes a difference when making a weekend drive. Ohio State thinks it has a shot, thanks in ...

Will It Be Fsu Or Lsu For 5-star Dt Marvin Wilson

... Some ESPN ACC writers took to Twitter to share a very impressive fact about Jimbo Fisher and put it into national perspective. Conference titles during that span. Saban - 5. — David Hale (@David Hale ESPN) January 30, 2017. Levonta Taylor , Florida State. It’s not that we didn’t see any of the No. 5 overall recruit in last year’s class. He got work at corner, safety, nickel, even a bit at linebacker. Two things he didn’t get, however, were stability and a full-time job. That should materialize in 2017, particularly with star corner Marquez White now gone. Speaking of Hale, he also put into perspective how well Florida State and Clemson have done after getting little from so many key contributors at the top of their 2013 recruiting classes. Amazing how good FSU & Clemson are after so many misses in 2013… Miami too. Notable top-200 busts in ACC from 2013 class… ...
