Anyone with any new info on these guys? I remember that they were pretty much a lock for us. Now I see we are picking up other WR's. Does that mean that they have moved on from us? I hope not. I like the fact that we are picking up quality recruits, but would like to lock up some top NJ talent as well. That is where our future lies.
 
We are the leaders for Harmon. Been the leader for months. So I guess we have to wait
 
I think the staff takes more then 3 "WRs" this class. I think you could see a guy like Jabbie at corner or safety.
 
We were never a lock with those guys. Harmon was/is high on us because we were his best offer. I expect that to change now that his stock has risen. That's not to say we won't pick him up. He's probably our best shot at a 4 star receiver this year.
 
What does that even mean?
He said we are close to a lock with recruits. I said that we are not a lock to land recruits with Flood. I can't think of one 1 potential recruit we were a lock to land a commitment from. Can you ?

again, what does that mean? Was Pollock a lock? Was Jabbi? The mods said Russo was a lock.

he's secured 3 classes...were none of them locks?

Let me dumb it down for you since you apparently can't comprehend.

A. Recruit
B. Lock= extremely high chance player committs to school that is favored to before national signing day. This doesn't mean a player is committed already and hasn't signed their NLI papers.

No none of the players you mentioned were a lock. If Russo was a lock he would have committed when we offered. He waited until after JG and DH to not committ to RU. Jabi only has 1 offer, also doesn't define a " lock". Pollack was committed to Miss State before committing.

If you don't understand stil I can't help you anymore.

He's not making anything up as he goes along. He's stating what lock means when spoken in recruiting. Although, his explanation in terms of Russo is a bit off. Russo was basically a lock minus something crazy. The point is there have been recruits that have been "locks" to RU under Flood but they are never highly ranked 4 star types.

come on guys. your bias is oozing through here which is why I am having a little fun here.

"With Flood no recruit is ever a lock"

that's just BS. you want to say he isn't killing it with the top kids, that's fine. I wouldnt argue with you.

Just last year, I think you would have to agree that the following guys were LOCKS: Dare. Griffin. Snorweah.

I could name others, but I am sure chipper will come up with a few more rules for why these guys dont count as locks.
 
"Lock" in this content), a figure of speech. And, with every lock there will always be someone who can pick it! Lets just all wait until Feb. 2016, what other choice do we have?
 
According to their coaches, Bah and Mack were both pretty much locks once they got the Rutgers offer

So there's two more, Chip.

Isn't "killing it " is the understatement of the year .

Tell me coaches who are killing it with the top kids?

I don't think anyone on here would say he's the best recruiter ever. But the lack of any balance from some people is unreal

I would say the jury is still out but he's trending in the right direction. And at the end of the day he will get measured by his record

It just makes me laugh how so many so called fans twist logic to make him out to be so much worse than he is

And you picked the wrong day to hammer his recruiting...a 4 star and 2 3 stars...

Lol. Classic rutgers "fan"...
 
I believe Mitchell plans to get out of state, not much can be do e there. Harmon is our best bet. Walker wants and maybe needs to get out of state and JG always wanted out of state.
Same with quite a few other top kids. Fu. Y thing is that almost all their family have preferred their kids to stay home. Kind of strange but typical of a lot of Jersey kids
 
Hey! Yesterday was a really good day and I still feel we will get a few really nice additions to this class.
 
This is the perfect strategy for Flood. We don't want to have another situation as like a couple years ago when we were only going after, and then eventually getting at least for a short time, just a couple of the best and then call it a day, and then be left at the altar without any quality WR in the class at all. Harmon and Mitchell will always have a spot in our class even if that means they commit a day before signing day. However when a couple of very solid prospects love us and want to commit then you let them pull the trigger. Remember these kids are not 2 star players, they are solid three stars and if you watch the film they may not be Mitchell but are very very good. This way even if we have worst case scenario and none of the top kids want to be here we still have a class of solid three stars and a decent class. Let the 4 stars be the icing on the cake but the foundation of the class at this stage in our program should be solid three star players. This is a winning strategy as proven by teams like MSU and TCU.
 
I love these posts where "with Flood no one is ever a lock" Duh while this is true it is true for every other D1 coach/program out there as well, it's the nature of the recruiting game today, kids commit early to insure a "spot" and then their recruiting blows up if they have a great senior year, college coaches continue to whisper in their ear and friends and family often encourage them to look around to "be sure" recruiting is a nasty game and everyone is in play prior to NSD, while lock can probably be applied to some % of a recruiting class a significant % of a class will not be locks in anybody's class until NSD.
 
Harmon offered by UNCheat-someone tell me they're not ahead of us now:weary:

Yes, they were locks by default because they had no other offers when they committed. Griffin was the only on who got any other offers after he was committed. If you are using those three for you're arguement then you are arguing against Flood more than anything since you're implying that Flood only can attain recruiting locks when the kid has no other offers.
 
Mitchell is going to UM. Too early to tell for Hawkins, he just trimmed his list to 15 (RU is still in it). RU is the favorite for Harmon.

Did that with a simple Google search.

Ok...so flood CAN lock guys up...but only by default...and only by all the rules added on after the fact by chippie...

This is getting really confusing

Joking right ? Look at last year's Top 10 NJ recruits and you will see who is "killing it" . That arse clown from State Penn is having his way with Flood. And "wrong day" .....What 4 star recruit ?
