2017 Recruiting

Looks like we are hitting Florida and Georgia hard this year while still looking for the local guys.

While I love the staff going after Florida and Georgia as both states have great talent, I’d like for them to focus the majority of their recruiting in NC. We have to establish a base of recruiting in and around Charlotte and in NC. I get the point of going after FL/GA kids, but would like to see them focus a bit more on NC/SC.

I’d like them to recruit the best kids available for our team regardless of where they’re from.

Sounds like we’ve landed a DB out of FL.

Nice. Looks like he was drawing some real interest and we can certainly use him.

Need to recruit QB Joe Butts from North Davidson

Went to the Gastonia Ashbrook game last night and was told by a VERY RELIABLE source that we are looking at their 6’2" Sr. WR Caleb Wilson. Learned this at end of game so I really didn’t notice/watch him during the game. Anyone else hear/know anything about this?

I can still remember when in highschool in the late '80’s…my favorite college basketball player name was : Billy Butts from Ball State!!

How can that not be the best name ever…especially to a 15yr old kid at the time!!

What type of recruit should be recruiting? At this stage in the program we either have get under the radar guys or kids that want the chance to play immediately. We have no history, serious traditions, a 15K stadium, and we just became eligible for post season play.

I want to see us recruiting the same kind of guys the upper 1/3 of cusa and the SBC teams are getting. Those are mostly 2 star guys with a decent number of 3 stars.

I don’t expect us to fill our classes with three and four star guys, but I’d like to not see us near the bottom in recruiting rankings in cusa every year.

Odu big time out recruiting us with a stadium not much larger and a history not far ahead of ours.

That cannot be true. All experts here agree…it’s impossible to recruit without a 40K stadium.

ODU just announced a major stadium renovation and expansion.
