Recruiting thread - race to signing day

[Baron Winnebago]

With Kienholz officially committing to tOSU, where does that put us with Raiola? Is it true that tOSU said they were not going to take a QB in this class?

It puts us here. I'd shop Dylan's face onto the dragon if I wasn't an absolute idiot

I'm not sure why our fans parroted that he hated recruiting. I couldn't find anything out there on videos or articles where he said that. What I found was actually quite the contrary as he said he loved meeting the players & families and building relationships. Talked about getting to know them and it was beyond discussing just football. Many articles said he was known as a good recruiter. He comes across as very comfortable in his own skin. Confident yet humble and genuine. I see a big influence in the way he communicates from his father, who was a Minister.

When he took the Baylor job he said a nice thing about the job was that the recruiting trips were shorter than what he had at previous jobs. That got blown WAY out of proportion.

I recall a video where he said he would rather develop a low star guy than go through the effort of going after 5 star guys and that he trusts his evaluation skills.

I know that’s where my concern came into play as right now we can’t afford to not have leaders in recruiting. But so far I’ve enjoyed what Rhule is doing recruiting wise and will not lump myself into a group that thinks they know better than Rhule.

If he can pull off these Florida transfers and some of these linemen look out.

I think it stemmed from his comments about recruiting at Baylor where he thought it was great he didn't need to leave the state to recruit.

Obviously, that is a great advantage to have. Potatoes will potato, though.

2 UF players visiting this weekend. Rivals feels good about NU’s chances with both.

I am not a D1 football recruiter obviously but I am not so sure Naquil has the athleticism required to be a P5 offensive lineman. I think he looks a lot like the linemen we spend a lot of time bitching about.

I tell ya what, there were lots of people hesitant about Rhule because he “hates recruiting.”

We were also told that Scott Frost hated losing more than anyone. Turned out both guys have lovingly embraced the thing they were believed to hate.

That vibe is probably better than showing up with blood shot eyes, a big chaw in your mouth, some stripper glitter still on your shirt and the sour smells of sweating out last nights Busch Latte's

It was the clip where he said recruiting at Baylor is great. I don't have to go more than an hour in any direction. Or something along those lines. Simple took that to mean Rhule hated recruiting and all the taters ran with it.

They're not smart people Mtn.

 

[Jim14510]

I'm not afraid to admit that I want him just for the fact he's from Philly and the way he looks.

Would like to see the actual quote in context.

Oh yeah I could be completely misremembering. I’m Rhule train 100%.

It was a Baylor vid. I just don’t recall which one. Someone shared it here in September I believe.
