Potential New Commitments

[Tre4ISU]

From twitter stalking comes this picture

Twitter

That is from commit Kane Seely calling these people future Cyclones. We know a few of them are. From left to right you have:

Dondre Daley-FL WR
Clifford Stokes-TX JUCO CB
Kane Seeley-IA LB
Pierre Aka-IN DE/DT/TE/OL
Charles Rogers-IA Ath
TJ Mutcherson-FL DB

We already know the 4 on the right are committed. We can't be sure if the other two have definitely committed but judging by the history of these pictures with the players in uniform, there is a good chance. This is how we initially discovered Steele Jantz. Again, no guarantees, but a good chance.

This was Clifford Stokes after the game Friday:

Stokes was at the Bball game today as well, must have an extended trip planned

How big do you think Friday's game was recruiting-wise? Any Twitter geeks see anything from some of our other interests?

For this class? Not huge. I think, contrary to popular belief, a lot of kids approach the recruiting process in a pretty mature fashion and are looking at things on an individual basis more so than perception. The win doesn't hurt obviously, but I doubt a bunch of guys will be calling up to ask about the program. Most likely it validates what the coaches have been telling them: We are up and coming and we will be going places.

As for next year, I think it is a bigger deal. Perhaps some of those guys who would have dodged the phone call will now listen because they recognize the game.

Like I said, I think the game is big from the standpoint that it will give credibility to what the coaches have told kids. I am sure we are selling a building program type of product to recruits. That is a great way to do it, but you need to validate it like we have. It does you no good to sell that and not show it.

I think the game is big for current recruits on the fence. It's not like new better players will suddenly show up though. Add that to winning a bowl game this year and it could add a few better players next year.

Trevor compare this years class to last years. Which do you like more?

[Tre4ISU]

Thats kind of a tough one. Right now, I still like last years class a little better. I think there are some really really good skill players in that class. Right now, Rohach, West and Harris are the only ones that stick out to me. Please realize though, that this class has a lot of guys who are much harder to project. A guy like Mitchell Myers could be very good but it is much harder to justify saying that right now. There are more of those guys in this class. I will have a much better answer in February with a lot more stuff to back it up.

I guess how I would say it best right now is that the classes will probably be very close to equal in terms of who plays but the big production will come more out of the last class. It's more the distribution of the class than quality of player.

I would assume this is no based on the photo, but does anyone know if the other 2 possible visitors showed or not??
