Recruiting, 2013

[appfan83]

Here's an adage that we could offer him. We play them in November and he could possibly show them a little payback. so, as Andy Taylor would say, "Call the man."

Here is a potential RB recruit who could step in and contribute from day 1. Malcome slated to be the starting RB for UGA this year, but then the NC boys gurley and Marshall flexed their muscle. I think we should at least talk to Ken Malcome as he will be looking for a FCS landing spot so as to not lose a year of eligibility.

He is a big back, 6-0 and 230#...would have been a perfect fit for the ol Committee divearooski play.

Colby Gossett just tweeted he has committed to App. Looks like a pretty good pickup. He was a man among boys on his highlight video. Didn't even need the spot circle to pick him out. Keep em rolling boys.

I'm betting coach Ledford is "over the moon" right now.

Interesting recruiting pitch with a possible future Mountaineer (Tyrell Brown) as the centerpiece:

Interesting recruiting pitch of what appears to be another future Mountaineer (Tyrell Brown):

I like that. Keep showing them some love

"I agree about the star rating system, too flawed and biased to place much credence for lower ranked players."


how about switching from stars to candy canes or fruit bars?

I like how this class is turning out.

"Well first the only thing that a kid cared about was the facilities and now it's the coaches fault we are underachieving. I think YOU need to ask yourself what makes a good recruiter. It sounds to me like a good recruiter is a guy who goes and sits down with a kids parents and says " you have just got to see our facilities and sign here please". " Well my son is just not sure he clicks with your position coach". OR "could you tell me about your accounting program" to which coach says "What are you stupid? We have an underwater treadmill!!! sign here!!"

the best recruiters have keys to an Escalade.....

Coach Ledford just tweeted: "Great day for the Mountaineers!"

Wonder what he's talking about?

[AppGrad78]

From coach Sloan via twitter:

"Picked up 2 BIG commitments 2nite after dinner. Hoping to finish up the wkend with 3 more in the am. Great recruiting class coming together! "

Anybody have any info/comments on Ken McDowell? His last two years at Grey's Creek he rushed for over 4,000 yards and 55 touchdowns.

Does anyone know who the second commitment is? Also I love the Gossett commitment. Great get for the apps!

Moving to a dedicated 3-4, we really don't need but maybe one DL player. Woody runs a different 3-4 than Stale Dale ran. We could use maybe a DE or two.

NT position has an overflow of players
Soph. Burns
Soph. Bronson
Soph. Millhouse
Fresh. Darian Smalls
Soph. Devante Harris (I don't think he has the quickness off the edge to play DE in Woody's system)

DE position is a little weaker
Jr. Blair
Soph. Greg Hall
Fresh. Tashion Singleton
Jr. Duece Robinson

We are super thin at LB, I expect one of the DBs like Henry Barnes, Middleton, or Alex Gray to add some weight and move to OLB

Woody in the past has used smaller very quick players at the DE spot.

Don't forget highly recruited John Law who redshirted last season. With McGowen (6-3 230) and Law (6 225) we have decent size position, but little experience. I could see Tashion Singleton move to the MLB spot and Greg Hall outside.

Tyrell Brown out of Lovejoy High School (GA) has just committed to Appalachian as of this morning via twitter! Another really good get for the Black and Gold.

Interested to see where he will play. could be either RB or S

I have to disagree a little about The Committee, they preferred 5'9" and 180lb for the Divearooski on every first down.

[AppGrad78]

As expected, DB Deondre Singleton (6-0, 175) of Archer High School in Lawrenceville, Ga., has committed to Duke. The Blue Devils put on a full-court press to get him, coaxing one of Barack Obama's best friends, Reggie Love, to do some of the recruiting. Congrats to him. He'll get an excellent education. Despite what one of the recruiting websites said, he chose Duke over Penn State and us.

Tyrell Brown needs a chance as return man in addition to wherever he plays, his film is impressive.

"You mad cuz App State didn't offer?" You'd be pissed to if you ignored other colleges phone calls cuz you thought you were going somewhere

Josh Nobles ™‏@jnowr5

I now HATE this school with a burn passion http://instagr.am/p/UteH3kQ3jI


Apparently ATH Josh Nobles is a little miffed at us now. These are just two of his rant posts. Rivals has him listed as a WR and other sites add KR also. I think we are pretty loaded with both positions. Sorry Josh.
