would we take this kid as well? Gillette? That would be two tight ends in the class.

I don't think so

Does ASU have a problem with recruits whose first and last names start with the same letter?

Just the ones from Wisconsin.

Interesting to read a high school coach (don't think it was even Gillette's coach) reply to Garrett's tweet. Basically said ASU better not expect to recruit from his high school in the future

Could this be COVID related and the fact everyone gets a "Do Over" year next year?

I can't imagine that most athletic programs can support an increase of 25% in scholarship cost especially after this ****** year where fan revenue is at or near zero.

Good question. But having those extra players could be a worthy investment in the long run.

We were. We prioritized other recruits and he was looking to claim a spot...

Have you heard if this is still the case?

 

[flycy]

Are teams also allowed to have an expanded roster next year? Could really limit recruiting spots if players are allowed to stay, but the overall totals aren't increased for one year. Personally I think it only should have been offered to players who elected to sit out. A free red shirt year, but not another entire year of actual play.

Considering that in Mbow’s case they have four OL yet committed and are still recruiting another HS kid, I don’t think that’s it. I doubt they were going to take six HS OL in the same class.

It is too bad Glass wasn’t the OL they pulled the scholly from. I do think our staff would have gotten back involved with him. Great athleticism.

For these posts it would handy to have a link to like 247 or at least say which class they'd be in and what position they play.

You mean, when we’re talking about a Class of ‘21 OL recruit, and someone starts talking about a tight end?

With 4L's latest post on Maro, it sounds like there is no Cyclone interest in Mbow.

 

[Cyforce]

Are these the only two ASU kicked to the curb?

I just checked 3 yesterday and 1 on the 16th.

The one where he said he wouldn’t be surprised if Maro committed by the end of November?

Not sure how you read all that into it. For one thing, he never said anything about Maro committing here, just that he’d likely commit.

Got it. 'Sounds like' was really reading deep.
