Thorpe is committed to Penn State. Any chance that we flip him?

[Rocky Bleier]

He's taking an official visit. So, yes, unless Franklin is sending him on a secret intelligence gathering mission, or he wants to see the shoreline of the Huron River.

[Hannibal]

He's taking an official visit.

That's not saying a lot though.

[Rocky Bleier]

I figure you have a puncher's chance if you get him on campus.

Now if we could just get Austin Jackson on campus...

Stanford is getting 4 of the top 28. I haven't heard much about them (small class).

[Rocky Bleier]

I knew those words sounded familiar!

[Wellington_beefhouser]

Tell me more about this Richardson fellow...

[Jeff Buchanan]

I'm assuming you see current FL OL commit Herbert going elsewhere and NM RB commit Samuels sticking. GA RB commit Kurt Taylor? Dunno, man. I'm reading he's shaky with an MSU offer in hand and an official at EL scheduled. Same for PA/PSU OL comit CJ Thorpe. Possible but not likely as I read it.

How do you see Clemson OL transfer Fruhmorgen fitting in. At all? Also TN decommit RB Cordarrian Richardson. Any chance there?

[iam416]

Everything I've read says Richardson is a likely clearinghouse casualty. JUCO.

Meanwhile, things are really trending positive for M and Solomon!

[Rocky Bleier]

Not according to Solomon:

[Wellington_beefhouser]

After the Najee debacle, I'm definitely going to err on the side of caution with Solomon. The Alabama draw is strong.
