So Phillip Wilder didn’t sign anywhere? Did we back off towards the end?

Damn. That sucks for him.

Just because a kid says he has an offer, doesn't mean he has an offer. We can't comment on it.

Pretty sure came on an OV, think this was a grades or other off-field issue.

Could be. He visited Tennessee and a few other power schools on OV's

 

[smokey_wasp]

Yeah, Wilder had an OV here and other legit offers. IIWII

 

[Architorture23]

He had an offer but he played around and lost it. Some of the other offers he said he had, he didn't. Seems he and Wiggles and Morton all had off-the-field issues that the staff chose to steer clear of in the end. Wiggles is at UTC, Morton at JUCO in Kansas, and Wilder hasn't signed yet.

Interesting look here. Who would have thought Auburn would beat uga in GA? Arizona State killed it in California this year

Auburn always kills in the state of Georgia. They must have some serious bagmen especially around the midstate. I've always noticed, if there was a quality prospect out of Macon/WR or points west of there, always a very good bet they would pick Auburn.

We definitely lost several guys to Auburn this year; going head to head with them a lot now.

Ehhh... HAD is the key word here.

Overplayed his hand once he started getting attention? Wouldn't be the first but it still looks like other issues to me, though.

Edit: Wilder signed at SE Missouri State.

Lol at Bernie in VT

Georgia is recruiting more nationally now... good for them short term. However, long term that’s going to hurt them in my opinion.

While they’re out recruiting Nevada, teams like Auburn and GT are getting in tight with Georgia HS coaches. There is enough talent in GA and surrounding states to be winning Natties...ask Clemson.

We are going to be bad news for Aubie.

And if FSU can get reestablished, they ded in the panhandle region

Clemson having the #3 class but losing SC to USC(e) while winning Florida is... coming to behold.

To your point, there is this.



Top 3 states for blue chip recruits

1. Florida (we do well there)
2. Texas (trying like heck to break through)
3. Georgia

How do we "steer clear" of a kid that we have made an offer to? Do we rescind the offer or something?
