Post new commits/decommits - recruiting info - whatever fancies your boat about the 2016 UT Rocket recruiting class

Any of you guys have a position you would like to see get filled with some quality talent in this class?

I'd like to see us build up our Dline since we went so heavy on the Oline in last year's class. And as always, I'd like to see us get some talent at the DB position.

Need to grab a few Linebackers to play with Green and Coleman in a couple years.

Bingo….I would like to see LBs in the 6'3" to 6'5" range. I was really impressed with Utah State's LB corps' play and height in the Potato Bowl in Boise, This seems like the way LBing evolution is heading.

Interesting story on Pooler: https://ohiopreps.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1742295

He wants to get his masters in business, so that's cool. And he says he has started recruiting other players to come to UT ... interesting. But, he still plans to visit Indiana, Purdue & Cinci, so...

Reid Robinson http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2536656/reid-robinson one of Mitch Guadagni's WRs has tweeted that he commited to UT.

Late commit for the 2015 class?

Robinson. Wasn't he like Guadagni's "go to" receiver? Seems like I remember the name in some of the games I listened to. That could be cool to have a QB/WR pair who already have years of chemistry between them.

I'm wondering that too. He doesn't have a rivals, scout, or 247 page, but that Hudl page lists him as a senior. So how is he committing this late if he's in the 2015 class?

Yeah, didn't notice he is a senior. Maybe he's just planning to walk on.

I'm guessing a preferred walk-on. Nice size. Interesting that he was only honorable mention all-state with such a high profile QB throwing to him.

You are correct. Reid is a preferred walk-on and just recently selected Toledo over Ohio University. As far as awards go, he achieved All District 1st team, NOC All Division Team and yes, All Ohio Special mention. Here are his stats: 2014: 863 Yards Receiving, 13 TDs, 1 2 Point Play, 52 Receptions, 16.59 Average Yards Per Catch. 2014 Hudson scoring leader with 80 Points.
2013: 223 Yards Receiving, 7 TDs, 17 Receptions, 13.1 Average Yards Per Catch

Career: 1081 Yards Receiving, 20 TDs, 1 2 Point Play, 122 Points, 69 Receptions, 15.73 Average Yards Per Catch

It will be nice to see him line up with his HS QB.

A man with plans!

Rockets picked up their 2nd verbal commit for the 2016 class in DB Alonzo McCoy out of Detroit Redford High School. 247sports.com lists him as a 3-star recruit and 5'10" 180 lbs. He holds offers from Ohio, CMU, and BG.

247sports McCoy page: http://247sports.com/Player/Alonzo-McCoy-78927

Hustlebelt.com article on McCoy's commitment with highlights: http://www.hustlebelt.com/mac-football-r...to-rockets

Rockets 1st pledge of this class, DT Jeffrey Pooler, is visiting Western Michigan this Friday for practice. He also was recently offered by UConn. Looks like it's gonna be a battle to keep this one.

I thought that "boosters" aren't supposed to have contact with recruits???? Twitter or otherwise.

Aren't those tweets recruiting violations????

UT's athletic department is always warning us about doing these kinds of things. What about the nags carrying oars???

Twitter has really taken the recruiting stage to a whole other level.
