Safe to assume he is a PWO?FUwolfpacker wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 8:31 pmSo I guess the question now is, would we still take Burnette since Leavy is just listed as a punter? I would think so. Like what I saw from Burnette's film.

Reported an offer. Might be a partial scholarship offer? Not sure.
I haven't done a deep dive, but it certainly seems like the lsat few years we are more commonly recruiting against the Academies and Ivies than we are most of the rest of the SoCon. Occasionally we seem to cross Wofford or Mercer for a recruit.Paul C wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:55 pmI re-sorted in positional order
Also am updating with the Paul C "star" grading system that I just made up
* 1 star = good recruit...this is the lowest grade because we all know there is no such thing as a bad recruit
** 2 star = really good recruit
*** 3 star = OMG WOW I can't BELIEVE WE GOT HIM

Just looking at what's reported on Twitter, it looks like our coaches are starting to follow kids from the 21' and future classes and are starting to hone in on PWOs.
I expect we'll have a solid group sign next week. I'm inclined to think there might be a surprise or two.
Evan Dimaggio and Buford won the Georgia 5A state title yesterday.
If you needed a commentary of the growth of Metro Atlanta, Buford has now won a state title in 5 different classifications and will move up to 6A next season. 20 years ago, Buford was a 1A school. Now they are moving to 6A.

Lost one. Looks like Ambe Caldwell is going to sign with Miami of Ohio Wednesday.
Must have been excited about those Tuesday and Wednesday night ESPNU contests! But in all seriousness, Miami Ohio is a very prestigious school and is an up-and-coming program in the MAC. To each their own, but I at least prefer to lose players to FBS schools than our fellow FCS foes.
Will we sign anyone Wednesday? If so how many are expected to sign?
Found this on Twitter, an Atlanta based company that uses AI for predictive analytics & advanced performance data to discover talent.

All of the examples of the software that I saw posted were of FBS players except one.
Furman signee Ivan Yates gets a shout out as a DB for his very tight coverage on a pass break up.

It has been interesting to watch this coaching staff's almost laser-like focus on recruiting defensive backs.
I really like what Furman is doing here. You can build an excellent defense around physical defensive backs with good ball skills. Needing less help downfield, a defense can free up more defenders to attack the run.

DBs kinda fly under the radar in recruiting - we get wide-eyed about skill positions. To your point - we saw the emergence of Blackshear, Chizik, and Ryan last year… Brinson and Jones were redshirted and will compete. We now bring in Micah Robinson and Ivan Yates both longer, physical DBs as well as two more safeties that are definitely physical players.The Jackal wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 8:51 amIt has been interesting to watch this coaching staff's almost laser-like focus on recruiting defensive backs.

We need some physical safety play. No doubt there
