Recruits for NMSU game

[gobigblue812_rivals29381]

Anybody know what recruits will be there?

247 has a free link that shows official visitors. On the other site, it says we have two JUCO defensive lineman taking an official visit tomorrow. Enoch Smith Jr., a DT from Butler CC and Tyree Owens, a DE from Copiah-Lincoln CC. Owens is a WVU transfer.

I don't know about all this JUCO stuff. Over-recruiting JUCOs is part of what has killed us on the DL. The JUCO comes in, needs a year to get up to speed (if he ever does), then boom, he's gone after one productive season. When you bring in multiple JUCOs, that can become a serious problem. I understand that sometimes you need some immediate help here and there. But I would rather stick to recruiting high school prospects as much as possible and try to build some depth and experience. We are never going to have a deep and experienced DL if we keep depending on JUCOs to fill those spots.

True but my guess is stoops and staff know they r on a condensed time frame at this point. They know they have to do something now. If they don't improve quickly, he won't be here long enough for any high schooler to mature....especially a dlineman

Melvin Lewis and Cory Johnson were great for us their senior years, but I would agree that it took them awhile to catch on. Of course, there are exceptions like Big Z, but he was going to the NFL no matter what. I really wish Stoops could have kept Strowbridge, Fullwood, Provitt (academically ineligible), DaVon Hamilton, and Kobie Smith onboard. Along with the departures of Hatcher, Tubman, and Meant, I feel like this program can't catch a break on either side on the lines.

Just having two of the guys listed above would have been huge for us to have this season.

Hard to care a lot about recruiting when you see what improved recruiting has gotten us.

 

[gobigblue812_rivals29381]

I assume there will be quite a few for the USC game.

Per JR, Smith not coming, hopes to come at later date?

At this point, there's probably no need for him to rush his decision.

 

[tWildcat]

Given the crowd we'll have tomorrow, hope they hold off and come at a later date.

 

[Coach_Mark_Oops]

Please don't bring any. The crowd will be absymal

 

[Beatle Bum]

We need immediate help.

Yes just look at the success we have had with HS recruits. Brumbaugh has really coached up Elam, Hyde etc etc
Pringle is a juco and looks much better than Elam.
Maybe its because he hasnt been coached up yet (ruined)
