i have no doubt that we can compete with 2 star players. however, we will never be a player on the national scene consistently unless our recruiting takes a step up

DT Ty McGill commits! Not bad.

And according to Pack Pride on Twitter and Facebook 2012 DB Niles Clark (don't know anything about him) committed as well.

Niles Clark was recruited by Jon Tenuta. I guess that dispels the myth that Tenuta can't recruit.

Clark tried to commit a few days ago but didn't have an official offer yet. I imagine after getting word that he wanted to come the staff did their homework to make sure he was a guy they could take this early. I like how that was handled

Plus when you add the 2 early commits to the good early feelers we've gotten back (last year the early feelers were poor and it showed with how long it took us to get rolling) I think TOB should get a great class in 2012

ive followed recruiting for quite awhile now and i don't ever recall getting junior commitments (i.e. verbals of a rising senior before the signing day of the current senior crop)

^Then clearly you don't follow it that well.

It's not something that's happens often, but it's not uncommon either. It also usually happens with local kids and local programs. Some kids don't have the desire to go through the whole recruiting process and have been a big fan of local teams for their whole lives.

One of the early '12 commits is from Georgia (Niles Clark). The other is from Nash County (Josh Sessoms).

He made it clear that he was referring specifically to NCSU recruiting, in which case he is right. We have not seen a junior commit before the senior's signing day, at least in the last six or seven classes. (Obviously excluding military academy commits because of academics)

thanks MORR, not sure how jbrick missed that.

yeah, the Sessoms kid while still surprising is not as surprising as picking up regional recruits, really shows how this year paid off.

GT is trying to steal DT David Mann

http://blogs.ajc.com/recruiting/2011/01/26/georgia-tech-makes-last-minute-offer-to-n-c-state-commitment-dave-mann-of-lithonia-high/

Hopefully with the current dead period, TOB can hang on to him.

Also, ESPN has a couple of pretty good articles up about the recruiting class of 2007. It's fun to go through and see all of UNC's highly ranked recruits who couldn't play this year:

^ Conflicting reports of whether or not Mann got an offer. However, he didn't go visit them this past weekend and told Steve Williams at PP that he was solid (after the offer in question). Either way, he's project to sign with State on Wednesday.

Hopefully not. Only potential ones I can think of is Chris Jones going to Illinois (he visited them last weekend) or Michael Peek committing to us (committed to Navy currently). Maybe Cedrick Cooper but wouldn't count on it.

Definitely hope we don't have any decommits, only one that even seems a possibility is Dave Mann, but it hasn't been determined if the GTech offer is legit.

If we manage to snatch Peek away from Navy that would be huge.

Also, sounds like we're making a push for Tre Jackson (former GTech commit). Steve or James started a thread but it got deleted pretty quickly, not sure why. I tried to click on it but it re-routed me to the board because it was gone.

I think FSU is offering him a gray-shirt but he doesn't necessarily want to do that. May take an OV after signing day to NC State.

I didn't know where else to put this, so I'm posting here.

I just checked on the Senior Bowl results b/c Irving was out only guy there. For some fucked up reason, NC State is in the South, but UNC is in the North. That makes zero sense.

^I can see how that would make sense from a national (northern bias) media perspective: they see UNC-CH as a more progressive, evolved, shit-dont-stink place than the rest of 'redneck NC'...

I guess that makes sense. We've already got 5 on the roster

Sr - Underwood
Jr - Washington
Jr - Barnes
Soph - Greene
Fr. - Creecy

Maybe we'll wait for a bigger fish in 2012.

Peek's tape is impressive. He needs to put on some weight but otherwise would be a good pick up. Hopefully TOB can sway him away from Navy

Here we see a classic Jaybee troll technique

He asks a question he could easily answer himself with a five second google search

In reality, he already knows the answer, and knows that superficially it looks bad for State, so he decides to broach the subject in hopes of garnering a bit of outrage

This is kind of off topic but there is nowhere good to put this since a countdown thread hasn't been created yet.

When can we expect the 2011 football schedule to be released? I've got 3 weddings and some other events mixed in during the Fall and I'd love to get my calendar together.

Some guy on PP said that it is looking like Shaun Underwood will de-commit from UNC and sign with us tomorrow. Sounded fishy, especially since the guy only had one post, but another poster who is a regular who claims to live in FV said he's been hearing the same thing. Just a heads up in case some signing day drama actually does go down.

Other names that you may see commit to us tomorrow or soon after are the following:

CB Tyrrell Burriss
LB Michael Peek
OG Tre Jackson (former GT commit, could be us or FSU. heard FSU wants him to grey shirt which he might not be down with.)

Maybe Underwood is jumping ship because the Heels are gonna pick up 5 star DT Delvon Simmons. That would be a bittersweet victory.

Would love to get Underwood regardless. Kid is a player.

Getting Peek was big for this class. Guy has a nose for the football, and wraps up tackles.

Maybe the steal of recruiting season for us.
