It would be awesome if we could land both big body prospects, especially if the coaches project ZL to play WR. Then they could redshirt MA since ZL would only have 2 years of eligibility remaining.
Right now I'm still getting more info together but from what I've read I know we are really looking hard for 2 WR's 6' 4"+ for this class. With the limited number of ships stated for this year and the depth of similar receivers we already have they are mostly on the outside looking in right now. I'll know more in a little while but I'm figuring that Letman would be used as a WR. As I stated above he is a basketball player also, at least in his 2013 HS profile, and was shown on a couple of sites with a 40" vertical. Being 6' 3" would tie him as the tallest WR on the team with Jordan Noil and with a 40 vert that could be close enough to count as one of the 2 taller wideouts we're looking for. With the lack of available 6' 4"+ receivers on the market and the competition for them he would be a good fit and would have three to play two (2013 HS grad). Adams and Adonis Lee are really the only two 6' 4" offers right now that are still in play. The rest of our taller WR offers have committed elsewhere.

Hopefully with McGuire already on the team and Reed a solid commit this will help us with Letman. From reports he is a probable Jan enrollee (still checking that). Also looks like he's coming to the Ga St game for a visit. Would love to get him signed since I think interest in him will pick up before the Feb signing day. GMC has been good to App in the past and that is one pipeline I would love to see us keep working.

Yea it was disappointing to see Kadeem Goulbourne go from Weston, FL to Western Michigan. Do you know if the coaches are still trying to poach him?

I figured the roster was already loaded with enough 6' and under (slot) WR's but do you feel the coaches would take one more in Shaquille Green (5'8") if it meant landing Vaquan Small (6'3") since both are from Booker T in Miami?

Personally I hope the coaches land ZL and MA based purely on size. Looking at 2016, it doesn't appear that the coaches have offered any WR over 6'2". I wonder if the availability of 6'3"+ WR talent is better or worse than this year.

From internet reports DE Antonius Sims (6' 3" 245) of Eastside High School in Covington, GA/Georgia Military College in Milledgeville, GA has received an offer from App. A player page with highlights has been added to the Main Page. Sims was a HS teammate of current App DB Dante Blackmon and GMC teammate of current App WR Montez McGuire, 2015 App Commit LB Dezmin Reed, and new App offer WR/DB Zireycus Letman. Reports are that all three GMC recruits are planning to attend the Ga State game on Nov 1st.

I'm sure Goulbourne is still on the radar as there is a long time until signing day and anything can happen. As far as Small, as mtnjax mentioned him, Deltron Hopkins has made some tweets concerning him since his offer. I'm sure they have talked more in private about it but Small does hold a reported P5 offer from Syracuse so we'll have to see where it goes.

As far as 2016, most offers going out so far are high rated players who hold multiple offers. 6' 4"+ WR's are at a premium any year and most will find themselves with P5 offers, especially if they are 6' 4"+ as HS Jr's. Also some kids who might be 6' 2" now could be 6' 4" by the time evals start in Feb of next year so I'm sure we'll see some more offers go out on those.

Does anyone have any info on the JUCO WR that we offered yesterday?

ZIREYCUS LETMAN of Georgia Military Academy, he seemed pretty excited about the offer on twitter. There was also quite a few app players that spoke highly of him on there.

If I'm seeing what you are, it would be a boost to our offense

Actually it was the 21st. Go back one page on this thread and scroll about 2/3rd's of the way down. You'll see the post I put up for him. He is also listed on the 2015 Main Recruiting page. Highlight the Sports tab at the top of the page, move down to Football. A second window will appear with Football Recruiting listed. Move to that and the years will appear. Highlight 2015 and click. He's listed under the WR's for now but I have a feeling he will move up the page today.

I don't see how Letman is rated 85 on 247.. Just from watching his highlights.

From twitter and internet reports DE/DT Darnell Thompson (6' 5" 275) of Wakefield High School in Raleigh, NC/Highland Community College in Highland, KS has received a reported offer from App. A player page with high school and JUCO highlights has been added to the Main page. The Rivals and 24/7 3 star DL is showing additional reported offers from Ohio, UAB, and Western Kentucky.

Now that is prototypical 3-4 DE size. Perfect fit in Woodys system.

Yep. Sure is. Some sites have him listed as a DT and others as a DE but from the film he looks to be playing a 3-4 DE. I'm going to flip my listing on the Main Page to DE/DT

Not yet. I still feel that it will come just not sure now if it's going to be today or not. I'm still watching the accounts for a clue. I'll update ASAP.

It's official. We have commit #10 for the class of 2015. WR/DB Zireycus Letman (6' 3" 195) of Georgia Military College in Milledgeville, GA has just committed to App. I have moved him to the Commits section of the Main Page. I've been expecting this all day but he just tweeted it and it's been confirmed. This is our second GMC commit for 2015 as Letman joins LB Dezmen Reed on the board.
