Think we can land..

[Herdon2]

Either Ross or Locklear? Would be a shame not to land at least 1 of the big recruits in our town.

 

[Tim Hensley]

I'm sure the little man is on them. If we get those two and about three more four stars that would make for one big-time recruiting class!

 

[marshallmark]

I understand they want to go to play together. I don't think that's going to be a problem wherever they go, but it might make it more difficult for MU to keep them if one or the other wants to go 'big time'. I wouldn't bet against Doc, though

The key may be to convince them they can play ball at home and still play on Sundays. It'll take some demonstration that linemen can make the pros coming through C-USA, not just Marshall. I'd be putting together that list right now if I were Goebel and the recruiting staff; particularly Mr. Mirabel.

 

[Herdon2]

Hope Doc and Mirabel can work their magic. We will be set for lineman if they both come.

 

[Herdon2]

Also reiterate that many 3 and 4 star kids come here and the fact friends and family will get to see them every game.

If the FSU offer is legit then I can see it being tough to keep them home. But, the other schools I saw on their offer sheet looks to be mid to lower tier P5s.

Miami offered yesterday. Have you ever been to that campus? Full size pool right outside the student union. That might be enough to entice any 18 year old.

Call Steve Scullio, Doug Legursky, John Wade, etc. They'll tell ya. If a kid is good enough, the NFL will find them.

It's going to be either do the hometown thing and where in the future you could potentially have a all WV OL or see if you can compete with the big boys daily at Florida State or Miami.

The key here is Alex Locklear recruiting his brother as well as Ross who is a family friend. Plus Seth Stewart recruiting both and saying Let keep it local and do big things

 

[Herdon2]

Plus the likelihood of immediate playing time versus sitting a couple years at the big schools.

 

[Herd Fever]

They will redshirt anywhere they go

 

[cottrell75]

Get all of those boys hot local girlfriends....pronto!
