The closer! Man o man I hope that's Solomon's last visitor. Is there a cutoff time for coaches visiting before Wednesday?
Yep and then go after an elite kicker in the 2018 class. That has not worked out for us in the '16 and '17 classes.
Yep, beginning to wonder if the last man in the house will be the winner. Sort of the recruiting equivalent of the last team with the ball.
Almost all of Solomon's comments over the past 2-3 weeks is we are way ahead. If a visit from Harbaugh with go-kart riding changed his mind then I will have to question his decision making process. With that said, I think the closer brings him to T-Town.
This time a year everybody thinks they are a insider or knows something nobody else knows it seems. Roll Bama Roll had their projections up last night of a few guys and both guys picking chose Georgia for Solomon their comments were he is playing both Bama and Michigan.
If Kirby gets the last visit on Friday or Saturday and he does commit to Georgia, I wouldn't be of the mindset that he was playing us all this time but rather that he seems to be a very impressionable young man who likes the last thing he hears. I would be a lot more excited right now if Coach Saban was visiting Saturday night before the quite period starts on Sunday. You can go ahead and plan on Kirby being there Friday or Saturday and I don't like our odds if it plays out that way.
We will win with Solomon or without him. Our roster is full of very good talent all of which made sound business decisions to come play for championships at the Capstone. He'd be a nice addition and I hope he comes but the class we have right now is close to if not the top already so I prefer to sit back and watch Coach add some whipped cream and maybe a cherry on top. Everything works out in the end and that includes this latest saga.
Getting a defensive lineman is not a cherry on top. We are in desperate need of defensive linemen.
It`s interesting to me. Arguably the premier program in college football, but it`s an absolute dog fight for these guys, even with such obvious playing time. Is it due at least in part to the fact that really good ones are not that plentiful? Don`t seem to have this issue so much at other positions.
Everything I've heard from people that I respect regarding recruiting is that, yes, strong prospects at DT -- the ones that are good against the run and pass -- are in extremely short supply.
It's not that hard to find somebody good against one or the other. But the ability to stop the run and apply pressure on the passer andcover a lot of ground against spread teams (which is pretty much everybody today) is rare indeed.
Oh, and we will get them. But we are not in desperate need of any one recruit at this point and if we whiff on Solomon and another guy then we have a plan for it. We actually have some pretty dominant studs already on the roster so if we don't fill this year's class the way we want then I am still confident we will continue to compete in the trenches at a high level and secure a whole host of D linemen in the next recruiting cycle.
Looks like Kirby is following the Saban recruiting blue print to the T visiting schools in a helicopter today:

I guess we'll need to graduate to a Chinook next cycle.
