Maurice fFrench Article

Offensive player of the year but not good enough for an offer from Flood.

Unbelievable that man was a Big Ten coach for two years

Ffrench had major test issues holding back recruiting until recently.

I've also said before, as did the article, he's projected as a cb at pitt.

That's interesting about him being projected as a cb. Maybe we didn't recruit him because we're already overstocked with lock-down corners? (sarcasm)

Okay, seriously. Knowing that he's viewed as a potential cb makes me want to see him flip to us even more so now.

Didn't recruit him because he could not have gotten in before the new test scores.
 
I do recall something about his test scores but his spots were also pretty filled with a couple of prospects on the board still that may have been a bit higher.
We had Jabbie, Mack, Bah, Write at WR and a couple of guys we would wait until LOI for
We had Rene, Hays and Campbell(who was ready to bolt when Rene committed) at DB with Butler and the two Fla DB's on the board

I remember back at the time this board was discussing Ffrench- most said he is a very good player but also understand why he may be on the outside.
Looks like his scores are in and he had a good year- let's see if Ash can go get him.
 
first not suggesting he is not a good, or better prospect, but its not as simple as it appears.
Five weeks ago , as stated, you had Hayes, Rene, and Campbell.
Fuller, miller, butler, sails are really good players also. The problem, theorhetically is when you offer a nj kid you do not want to renege.
Would you have preffered to take Maurice and lose a chance with one of the above
Remember before the Hewitt decommit we were at 19 with maybe only 2-3 ships left
The timing may be that Rutgers does not like the chances for the cbs and had to move

Also hs players of the year, all state, all conference are based on production as a hs player and not the suspected potential

That may also be true of Dwumfour and if Hewitt, or Watts lose interest. you simply need a large body in this class
 
From the Article: "In June of this year Ffrench committed to the University of Pittsburg, and has since been made an offer by Rutgers University."

At least the writer knew it was Rutgers University and spelled it correctly. Maurice would be a good get.
