Recruiting, 2013

DB Deondre Singleton (6-0, 175) of Archer High School in Lawrenceville, Ga.

Note the all caps NO on the comments feed from Deondre to what's seems to be a commitment question.

Also a player that goes by Michael - @cant_touch_me_ visited this weekend according to Drew Davies. I quote "app states pretty awesome cept it's so secluded" ....Julian?

I can't figure out who this Michael is, but I'm betting it's not Julian. Rivals has Michael Julian visiting Toledo this weekend.

Michael Julian's Twitter is @MJ_22_ballin so unless he's got another account it isn't him.

78', You think it might be Michael Wamer? He was listed by a SC prep site last month as a heavy App State leaner despite having Ga State and NC State offers.

Could be. I don't know. All my search engines are coming up blank.

Mine too. I've been burning it up for the last little while trying to figure out who it was. I must have had 20 tabs open a few minutes ago. I think my computer is mad at me.

Thanks for the update Charlie! I appreciate you connecting all the dots for me. Saw Gilchrist's post on Twitter but didn't know who it was.

With Law and McGowan coming back, Vinson and now Gilchrist coming in, looks like we are going to keep churning out the talent at LB.

[AppGrad78]

Thank, Mike. You might want to take note of the Michael Raiford mention, too. That one could flip our way.

[moehler]

the Collins pickup was huge, I believe he had offers from about half the SC, including Wofford, GS, and Furman, Great pickup!!!

Well your internet goes out for a few hours and things are jumping when you get back on.

I'm going to give the Collins pickup to my sister. After all, she did have the one on one with him and his parents for the College of Health Sciences about his interest in one of the programs.

I'm glad for the Gilchrist pickup also. He was backing off a little in the past couple of weeks. I'm glad the visit showed him App at it's best.

[firemoose]

Just saw on Twitter that Tshumbi Johnson was one if the recruits here yesterday. Many sites still have him listed as a Cincinnati commit after decommitting from USF. His Rivals profile shows him as having no interest in App or anyone else except Cincinnati. Guess he must have a little interest since he came here.

[moehler]

firemoose, will gladly, and happily give your sister credit, this was the one recruit I thought App could not afford to lose, especially to one of our rivals, we have just lost too many recruiting battles for OL linemen the last 3 or 4 years.

I was joking with her and telling her to say exactly the same things to whomever she meets over the next two or three weeks because it worked. Then I read on his twitter that he said "I want to make something real clear. I'm going to school for two reasons. To get an education and to play big time football" so I may not be too far off base.

I would love for Tshumbi Johnson to pick ASU. After following his high school career, he's a high-risk, high-reward kind of playmaker. He'll make a mistake or two, but the good he does on the football field far, far outweighs the bad.

I was impressed with his video. You are right in the assessment of his play. I kept thinking when I was watching his videos that he looked a little like Armanti. About the same size, quickness, and moves on the run and he had a good arm. Everything I've read said that everyone was recruiting him as a WR (sound familiar) so I guess it's down to what does he really want to play and where our staff told him he had the best shot. Past conversations I've heard said he was being talked to as a QB (just after his USF decommit) so I guess it will be interesting.

Just saw this and was coming to put it on but stopped at MI and had to post. I need to update my list of uncommitted players. They're dropping like flies today and I like it. These next visits go as well and we're going to be doing pretty good.
