Listened to the recruiting talk on TP’s Dunc and Holder this morning, they had Jimmy Smith (boo) and also Wesley Fritz (WF). Here are some of the highlights…
Jimmy Smith really didn’t know anything about our recruiting, big surprise.
We are recruiting West Feliciana’s Darius Davis & Derrick Turner (step brothers by the way) whom ESPN’s Ryan Clark, whose son plays for U-High in BR, said were the fastest football players he’s ever seen. Davis and Turner finished #1 and #3 in the state 200m final last season.
WF: We hit on our needs at DT with James, Johnson and Davon Wright, obviously Johnson and Wright are early enrollees.
We also hit on DB with Tate, Camel (whom Dunc and his guest host really seemed to like) and Macon Clark.
WF also confirmed that Dayne Ledford would be moving back to QB, spoke of C. Daniels and his speed (10.8 100m, 6.54 55m – for you non track guys he can scoot, and the 55 M time means he hits top speed rather quickly). WF did say that we are “still on a couple of guys” at QB and that we have 3-4 slots open for signing day in a couple of weeks.
My take is what we already knew…we have a few slots left, and we are still looking at a qb. Devin Black, Armwood, FL. ; Cordell Littlejohn of Roswell, GA., Trae Hall of Henderson, TX and Riley Smith (well Riley Smith Committed to Boise State today). I think Trae Hall is whom I would be really pressing for unless it’s someone I wasn’t told of. Otherwise I do not think we will reach for a QB just for the sake of numbers. And with a Senior returning starter who is locked into the starting job, we’re not going to get a ton of grad transfer looks at QB.
