2016: Recruiting News, Notes & Official Visitors

Well they are recruiting him as one or the other and since they've already offered, I would imagine they know which position they want him at. I doubt the height is going to change that, especially since they've seen him in person.
Have profiles been made for these two? I didn't even notice until now how highly rated they were and Rivals shows Gil as having "Medium" interest in CU, NC State and Miami (although he's a verbal to Miami since 1/26/15).
Goes by Pookie Maka. 6'3" 200 lbs Unrated OLB with 6 total P5 offers.

May not be a committable offer.
Would you mind expanding on this? The kid is a 4* prospect with offers from BYU, Oklahoma St, Oregon St, Stanford, Utah and Washington. Plays RB and LB at 230 lbs (clearly moves well enough if he plays RB also) and you're saying our offer may not be committable because his height may not be legit? I don't understand.
It's because at this stage of the recruiting process HCMM only accepts offers from unrated or high 2/low 3* prospects. Everybody knows this.
It probably is, but the coaches are not looking at ratings or offers. They really like to firm up offers at camps (likely the all-Poly Camp).
Awesome^^^ Two prospects with multiple big boy offers each. Strother has an interesting offer list with all those Ivy Leagues.
Silly to assume HCMM doesn't believe in recruiting well.

QB offered today. Seems like our coaches like a lot of the same guys as Mike Riley. Seeing more overlap with Nebraska this year, just as we saw a ton of overlap with Oregon State offers last year.

Really like his tape. Lots of times when you have a dual threat qb in high school, they tend to leave the pocket far too early because they are simply more athletic than the defense. However, with his tape, he continually keeps his eyes down field and looks for the throw more so than tuck and run. Love this guy.
Kentrell Love has been offered. CB from Centennial HS, Corona CA.
But that looks like a different uniform on his hudl, so we must have doubled down on the Cali love.

Can't really find any recruiting profile on him but if his 6'2" 175 lb frame is accurate, he could be a monster at CB. Loves to hit from the looks of his film and is a very physical CB. Could get up to 200+ and transition to safety possibly. Either way, do you have info on offers he's received? BTW, everyone's favorite asst coach is the only Buff coach following him.
He just confirmed the offer with his own tweet.

I love the size. And if that 4.53 is legit, he's pretty much a prototype of what this staff looks for at CB.
Yep, just saw that. Another one here but 247 has him as a "Hard Baylor Commit":

Listed as a WR on Rivals, and can seemingly choose his scholarship. Maybe offering to play CB sets us apart a bit? Either way, 6'1" 170 lbs and runs 4.61. Another prototype (maybe a little slower than ideal) for CB here.
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing about prospects lowering that time by .02 to get it in the 4.5s but I wouldn't say 4.61 is desired CB speed in the NFL. Either way, he'd be most welcome here.

Also, can we put this "HCMM doesn't put value in recruiting" narrative to bed?
Comes down to the pro shuttle. And, honestly, if he's running a legit 4.61 then he'd be running a low 4.5 after doing months of specific training for the event that they do for the combine & pro days. Hell, Isaiah Oliver lists his 40 time at 4.60 in his hudl profile and he's a world-class track athlete.
True. It's nice to see a blazing 40 time as a general barometer of speed an athleticism, but I guess it is somewhat of an overrated metric by itself.

As long as all you're interested in is seeing offers go out, sure. Personally I want to see some actual results.
