Welcome to national signing day Uh coach human here we're gonna talk Today as much we can about um National signing day and everything that Goes into it Um and cover each team and break them Down A couple quick thoughts not number one And number two Looks like uh as far as from a Recruiting class standpoint Uh it's gonna be alabama which may have The best recruiting class Um they've had ever Uh so we'll go through each class we'll Pull them up we'll We'll go and and look at uh 24 7 sports And see what they have As far as rank goes and just kind of Talk about some of the players Uh as far as we know um all day long We'll be tweeting out stuff as well At nucsports.com and national underclass I mean uh coach human on twitter Uh before i do that i want to give a Shout out to to to my own guys Red bank regional um we already had owen Laughlin silent richmond And now we have the team abdullah silent Castle and state And uh brian novitskiy um Uh so who's gonna be signing today as Well And he's gonna be signing with baldwin
Wallace uh um ohio so It's really really uh two of our linemen And and our Quarterback linebackers so pretty cool Stuff um so But we'll get right into it um and i'll Share my screen as much as Much as i can as i kind of go through Some of the some of the uh Uh top prospects but Now you know i'm getting a lot of my Information from the net From uh 24 7 sports Some of the other outlets uh that do a Great job Of covering it but obviously we want to Make sure that You kind of get the the the skinny on Everything Yesterday i tweeted about the Controversy uh Around tennessee and um And their prospects uh and and how they Rescinded an Offer and before i talk about recruiting Classes i think that that's one of the Uh Um things that's happened more and more And a lot of people are confused about How that happens and why that happens And why someone rescind a prospect's Offer there's multiple reasons and uh You know obviously i don't know the Details of everything
Um but what what the prospect claims And and uh And what the top prospect claims and What tennessee claims are kind of two Different things Uh prospect claims that you know Tennessee basically Uh took their offer because they didn't Want him anymore uh or didn't have Availability Uh after being committed for all that Time and then tennessee says that they Didn't think he would be eligible from a Recruiting standpoint Who knows there's obviously tennessee's A big mess that has to be get cleaned up And um you know i think that's going to Affect a lot From a ranking standpoint and and what Continues to happen there Um because tennessee is in a situation Where Uh they got an uphill climb after many Years of having trouble Uh in recruiting and um You know they got a major major uphill Climb from that standpoint The other cool thing that's going on you Got a ton of uh Um offers that are going out as well That's become a new thing so national Signing day becomes One of those uh deals where People are siding because a lot of them
Sign on an early signing day And not as many sign as they used to on National sign they designed that early Signing period So you have a lot of schools that use The opportunity to offer players on for 2022 And 2023 and beyond um so that's really Cool Cool process that that i see happening More and more Um from from that standpoint so But this is this used to be the Uh the christmas day for four Schools and um but it's not it's not the Case As much as it used to be but it's still A Huge huge huge day this is a day That now people are solidifying their Class Um and there's all kinds of different Things going on which is really cool From a recruiting standpoint like i said This is definitely A a uh a bonanza Um with people trying to get their last Players signed Um you saw a couple i tweeted out Earlier today uh the raging cajuns had a Bunch of guys signed and they just had a Great great year Um you see in there they're reaping the Benefits of that as one of those sleeper
Schools out there Um uh alabama signed uh uh The running back that they were hoping To get signed Uh which was um uh a five star And and so they got that taken care of Um michigan signed a top-d Lineman so we'll we'll break down you Know who's who So far is signed Or enrolled in this 2021 class and What's really cool is alabama has Uh 14 already uh In enrollees in this class and then Another 12 that signed the letter intent so They already have 14 guys on campus they Got 12 more guys Coming in uh it's an incredible class As far as their national rank like i Said before They are number one uh Last year they were number two they They have an incredible number of five Star commits Um in this group they let's get the Breakdown of that Um and this up five The rivals.com or 24 7 sports are kind Of The main providers of those things so You could kind of look at Uh they're all pretty much in range but Alabama has one two three
[Music] Four fives Four five six Looks like six five stars just in this Class alone Uh and everybody else is a mega prospect Four star higher other than two or three Guys Um so some really really interesting Prospects Um they signed as far as from a top-tier Standpoint and he's already enrolled uh The number one tackle jc latham from img Academy Uh nationally ranked number two According 24 7 supports the number two Um Number two offensive tackle in the Country tommy brockermeyer Uh from all saints episcopal out of fort Worth texas The number one uh number one Cornerback uh jaquinci mckinstry Out of pinson valley alabama the number Two Uh wide receiver to corey brooks out of Img academy Uh just gonna get through their top guys And then get you some interesting ones Too In their class uh st thomas aquinas is Dallas turner Number one player at a defensive end the Number four player at defensive tackle
Damon payne from bellaville michigan Um we talked we announced this early the Number uh Number two running back in the country Five star kimar wheaton Um who is at 511 190 out of garland Texas lakeview Centennial and i think that's The bulk of the five stars uh in this Class Uh as usual they are and they already Have a lot of these guys enrolled they Have The two top tackles which is just Unbelievable Um they got the number two offensive Guard uh from fort valley georgia Terence Ferguson on the offensive line um They also got i'm i know i'm missing him Here i thought they got a center yes Yeah i said senator james brockenmeyer He's number one Uh player at his position um And then uh jaden roberts out of houston Texas Offensive lineman so they basically have A four out of five offensive linemen That are top tier defensive line which Is always a huge Huge get for them from from that Standpoint And um it's it's a situation where They they now have um
A lock on getting great lyman and so if You're a quarterback that goes there and They sign Dual that quarterback as well you're Talking about Uh a a group that's going to be Protected and why that's why you get More and more skilled players coming There Uh running backs receivers and their Wide open offense always You know they don't they don't hire Assistant coaches they they hire Um They hire they don't hire assistant Coaches they hire head coaches So you know as assistants which is Amazing And which brings in even more talent Because nick saban could say hey He's got so many former head coaches on His staff Um the guys he gots are has huge nfl Experience so that that parlay Is is a huge huge thing From a standpoint of what they're doing There from a recruit standpoint so It's incredible um so bam is number one This could be the best class That alabama has had of all time i mean 24 4 sports says the highest ranking class In Their history um
A couple other announcements i announced This earlier kentucky beats out auburn For four-star linebacker trevor wallace Who's definitely Definitely a top player um so now you Get over and you say You know how does it affect the recruit I mean the separation between Top programs and you'll see as we get to Number two here Uh ohio state and as you go through the Ranks and this is 24 7. i'll give you Rivals rankings too 24 7 has bama one right now uh Probably gonna stay that way but ohio State two georgia three Lsu four clemson five which i think is Interesting Uh oregon six usc seven which i think is Really really interesting As well as texas a m at eight notre dame Kind of consisted where they are at nine Michigan still recruiting strong attend Um and so you know that's your that's Kind of your top 10 uh other other surprises and I'll go through classes that had some Surprises as well And like i said i was wrong alabama had Seven five stars four Uh 15 four stars ohio state has ohio Uh five five stars thirteen four stars Georgia has uh four four Five stars and um
Eleven four stars he's still kirby smart Still getting top players Uh at orgeron so ryan high even though They had a little bit more of a Difficult year Um lsu at four with two Five stars fifteen four four stars Clemson with three And 14 oregon 19 four stars Usc one five star top player in the Country mind you Which i thought was really interesting 14 four stars Uh puts usc in a great position texas a M One five star fifteen four stars notre Dame twelve Four stars uh michigan one five star Twelve Four stars oklahoma's at eleven uh University of miami with big move with Two five stars Uh at 11 and 11 four stars Florida uh with uh At 13 north carolina 14 it's a big move For them from last year wisconsin 15 Tennessee at 16. uh if they weren't in The sec that would probably Be good um salvaging class it's Interesting what they're doing I don't agree with some of the stuff but You know i don't know the big picture Texas seventeen mara texas obviously Going through
Uh with sarkeesian he got a five star We'll talk about that Uh maryland with at 18 which is Incredible That's one of the top um in the big ten Ole miss at 19 nebraska at 20. Um and then let's go down a little bit Of the list pittsburgh Uh a little bit of a surprise at 25 Which real good class for them Um we go down kentucky at 31 it's pretty Good for them although for the sec not Great but Um some dips in in classes i saw With um washington down to 34. um [Music] Minnesota is definitely a little bit of A drop from where they were Rutgers with a big move up to 41 2 4 Stars 18 3 stars cincinnati at 42 24 3 stars that's an excellent class for Them Memphis with an outstanding class with 25 3 stars So really interesting uh from from that Standpoint Uh if you look at by conferences You look by conference If you look by conference um We go through these rankings and you'll See the acc's clemson one miami two North carolina three florida state four Pittsburgh five
Big twelve oklahoma one Texas two which is putting them back in Range oklahoma state three West virginia for baylor five big ten Ohio state one michigan two wisconsin Three Maryland four nebraska five penn state Is now six that's a little bit of drop There Uh like i said big mover from uh for Rutgers Which was probably last last year or Near last is now number nine Um so that's a big move for them talent Pac-12 Oregon one usc two California three ucla four Utah five i think it's pretty darn good By Uh being in the top five uh uh Some you know stanford's at eight i mean That's kind of they're never near the Top Uh from that standpoint and and uh Alabama won Georgia two lsu three a m four Uh florida five like i said tennessee's Held it together uh south carolina is in Deep trouble There's there's a lot that has to go on There That they've gotta do to improve and Then um Uh some really big surprises normally a
Top 10 When gus malzon was there or at at worst Top 15 uh auburn In the country that is meaning top five In the sec Auburn at 12 which is uh A shocker a shocker there that is a Shocker Auburn auburn at 12. so Those are those are some really really Crazy things things from you know Auburn's gonna have a A huge uphill climb huge uphill climb Here And i don't know with alabama in their State You know uh the move away from gus Malzon Curious move there sec we you know Other than that you got your big big Dogs up there up top Um conference usa cincinnati Won memphis to smu Three which is a big move for them uh Ucf4 Usf5 which is a A big move there houston dropping a Little bit they're at seven Um temple at nine they they were more Towards the front early You know navy does it more with less Than any other team in the country And i don't mean less from a talent Standpoint they get their rankings they
They get great players that do what they Need to do and and so Uh independence ah i don't know much About Some of these but utsa is a big surprise At number one Um who's their head coach who's utsa the Jeff trailer where's jeff trailer i Perform Curious that jeff trailer was at Where was he at before I mean that's that's a big big move There By them um utsa Being number one in independence uh Uh that's that's pretty impressive north Texas two Florida atlantic three north texas has Been steadily getting better and better Recruits Uh fiu four a race five and then you're Kind of moving down the list there Um martial at 11 Is a little bit of a shocker uh You know they were they are one of the Powers Uh in that conference i mean Didn't you see what are we going to see You say The aac i'm sorry Cincinnati's aac i don't know what he's Talking about Uh aac with cincinnati conference usa is Utsa
Um these con some of these other Conferences Get confused by ac okay all right So why isn't oh that's right because Yukon went independent got it Okay independence notre dame obviously Number one byu number two Sixteen three stars army three liberty Four New mexico state five yukon six That at massachusetts seven So uconn is behind new mexico state in Recruiting I'm gonna take a hard look at that My goodness Brutal did they signing away from new Jersey Uconn didn't send anyone from new jersey He said dom mclean yeah mclean All right so my alma mater uh Hopefully that's not a reflect hopefully Those players get developed because if That's their ranking Brutal okay mac We go over to mac toledo is one michigan Central michigan is two miami of ohio Three northern illinois For ball state five uh Whatever the m west is i don't even know What i thought they used to be the Uh Mwa a mountain west okay san diego state Boise state unlv fresno state colorado State
San diego state eclipsing boise state's A little bit surprised unlv being number Three is a little bit of a surprise In that conference amazing off the year Why uh san jose state has that there's Still ten Everything else kind of makes sense Appalachian state Is winning the uh the battle for the Sunbelt conference the ragin cage is Doing a great job in coastal carolina Number three georgia southern forger State five Very interesting um Nailing their recruiting base coastal Carolina leveraging that great year same Thing with the raging Cajuns leveraging that great year that They had Um to really to give them an opportunity So let's look at uh Let's take a second and look at first of All the top recruit in the country Corey foreman um One of the things you'll see from from From corey foreman first going to usc The number one prospect in the country From beginning to end corey foreman Will will play a little bit there just So you guys could see What uh uh the top prospect in the Country looks like If i can pull up some stuff here It was never about the gold it was
Always about the goals All right corey foreman The quarry farming starts and then this Is that's right he's california from Centennial california corona Corona centennial california 6'5 275 270 uh defensive end we'll show you a Little bit what it takes now They didn't have a season so he started Out as number one player Um has has continued all the way through As number one prospect uh despite the Fact That he did not have a season him going To usc Is a huge coup for coach helton Um being able to get a prospect like Corey foreman to stay home Stay in his backyard at usc uh when you See something like that You know that there's that quietly like They played better this year They're quietly improving uh usc is a t As a program that i think if they Continue to Go in the direction they're going they They could end up being back Uh with an opportunity to be a power In uh the the pac 12 conference and That's a huge move For usc in getting corey foreman he was The guy that we talked about as being The number one we we featured him last Year
Um we talked about him uh in the past We've done a bunch of videos analyzing Him Um you can see those over on youtube if You're joining us from there Corey foreman's prospects as a recruit At 6'5 and 270 and who can fly Uh is incredible watch a little bit of Film here real quick and Have a little fun with this but it's Corey foreman All right there is this I mean the speed off the ball let me Just lower this a little bit [Music] But corey form and speed off the ball i Do like a little a little bit of music a Little bit of music Makes it a little more fun man i mean You don't want to just listen to my Boring voice the whole time get His ability to pursue is unbelievable um This is the number one recruit in the Country he's already signed early He's his his size is overwhelming For for high school players at the time Does a good job with his hands He has unique gift of size that most Prospects do not have He's going to usc can play inside could Play outside He's got to work on staying a little bit Lower that's my only complaint that was My complaint last year as well
But then what we have is that 2019 film Remember we don't have 20 20 film on corey foreman this is him As a Uh a junior so Um unbelievable prospect Yeah yellow glitch here okay and corey Foreman Um making plays coming down the line uh Physical i mean look at him his Punishment there Cory foreman is is the number one player In the country Uh listed from beginning to end and Uh i i you know i talked about a Prospect like him and what Kind of impact he's going to have on the Defensive side of ball Uh in the pac-12 the defense is going to Be a huge huge The team that has more of a defensive Line that can make sacks and In the spread offense are gonna have a Huge advantage Uh over everybody else so corey foreman Going to usc Uh in in that signing is Is is huge for them i can't underscore That I'll take any questions if you guys have Questions as you're going through this Process Um what should 2022 prospects be looking At
Uh so real quick rundown of usc's rest Of their recruits they're Ranked seventh nationally according to 24 7 sports Uh corey foreman was uh their number two Ranked Uh team in the pac-12 um a couple of the Guys that they picked it that i really Like pro style quarterback jackson dart Out of court Corner canyon uh draper utah 63210 he's Big physical Uh pro style guy uh usc loves those kind Of quarterbacks and and should be able To deliver Um because they also signed another Quarterback out of mission hills California Um miller moss from bishop alemany Uh high school so they got two Quarterbacks to work with And then i really like uh kalyn bullock They're Their athlete from john muir out of Pasadena Um you'll see the theme they signed Almost all their prospects from California They only went outside probably for Defensive lineman and offensive lineman Which is my guess But they did sign uh maximus gibbs from Saint john bosco which is a local guide Six six three eighty
Three eighty five he's a monster guard Uh ty buchanan from cal Cowlin uh corpus christi uh texas Another guard at six Five two eighty uh a real huge Emphasis um they already have three Enrollees and Anthony beavers from norman uh brandon Brandon cam both from katie which is a Powerhouse program in texas a running Back Uh for both four stars and michael j Michael jackson from desert pines out of Las vegas three star Uh excellent class for usc Okay and i said i get around to it it Took me a while but ohio state uh Who signed i mentioned before A good amount of five stars leading with The leading the way From a five-star standpoint Is uh jack sawyer i mean so they have 21 Guys that have signed a letter of intent Okay i didn't see any enrollees Yet uh player personnel mark Pantone did a great job of compiling Everything along with ryan day In this class they made some moves today As well At the um at the position Uh of d on defense and um So they made some moves around there Which i'll get to in a little bit but Want to kind of stick with so jack
Sawyer for pickering north Again they did they usc's Improved their national recruiting um Even more than when urban meyer was There and ryan days Really exploded that so getting jack Sora defensive end Uh 6'5 248 for pickering north we'll We'll take a quick look at him and a Little bit later Um they got him five star mecca uh Washington and went way out west to get Him they have donovan jackson from Episcopal in bel air texas Trey vyon henderson of hopewell Virginia uh running back five star Uh mikael mccord pro-style quarterback Five-star to saint joseph's Uh philadelphia pa uh fantastic prospect From the time he was young number three In his position treyvion number one in His position donovan jackson number one In his position at guard Uh mecca number one in his position a Wide receiver Jack sawyer number three in his position Number one in the state of ohio And i think we might have featured him Earlier uh this year uh so the Those are their five stars some other Prospects that i think Uh could do you know some amazing things Uh You know you don't have to leave the
State of ohio to to find A linebacker and they got a great one Inside linebacker from ironton ohio and Reed Uh kurico um and then marvin harrison jr Obviously son of marvin harrison Uh st joe's prep in philadelphia at 190 um we'll take a look at his film As when we're looking for at the ohio State guys in two seconds Um and then i love the size they got at The offensive tackle with With zen mikulski um at indiana They got a huge tight end sam hart from Colorado And they got a punter all the way from Australia so Incredible class incredible diversity as To where the players are From from around the country ohio state Taps the whole entire country and um So i'm sure something here but that's That's a huge component to what what They're doing now Uh ohio state and from a recruiting Standpoint That gives ohio state uh the ability to Call themselves a National national uh recruiting base Um that's huge For ohio state huge to have a national Recruiting space and not just be locked In To the midwest states they do a great
Job of getting the best players out of The midwest But they also went around the country And um two pulling two guys out of Florida i mean uh philadelphia uh Qb and wide receiver you can expect Those two to have a connection That's gonna be uh fantastic out of st Joe's prep So let's take a little look at marvin Harris back in 2019 although we probably have uh Some film there for that And we'll get this going So this is marvis harrison marvin Harrison jr Son of marvin harrison who played for The indianapolis colts hall of famer one Of the best receivers of All time played with peyton manning Fantastic route runner we'll watch a Little marvin harris and see what makes Uh him so special Isolated one received for side he's got That same length length his father has Um you play against top competition he's Got some Good speed he really has a similar body Frame There's that comeback route that made His father famous Uh marvin harrison making a staple on His own He has the ability to go and get it high
Point the ball Puts his foot in the ground great route Runner You know it's interesting when when kids Grow up and and they mirror the athletic Movements of their father Or mother and um you know that the Genetics on that is incredible And he shows that like the toe tap there Uh the great route running on the on the Quick out route I mean you could see that he could run Every route and as he continues to work And improve you're gonna see marvin Harrison Um little glitch there marvin harrison Really Becomes something special marvin Harrison jr that is Uh and having a chance to play with his Quarterback From his old high school could make a Unique experience for them Uh that's marvin harrison jr i think one Of the Uh interesting pickups for them At ohio state the number two Number two rated Class according to 24 7 sports we'll Take a kind of gander real quick over at What rivals.com Has and i'll just take a second to pin This video here so we have this uh This coverage here for you pinned
And then uh over here on youtube here [Music] If you have any questions you could Always go you could hit me up here If prospects have questions about Recruiting if you're a 2022 2023 and you have a question about Recruiting Don't hesitate ask those questions that You that you need to get answered now Um don't don't be shy in asking those Questions It's important to find out 2022 and 2023's you you guys are on the clock And it it's time to to start you know Establishing yourself from your process You got to reach out today's today's a Great day To start this process if you haven't Already they're going to move on from 2021 Most have already obviously started 2022 And if if you're 2023 this is the time Uh to start getting your name out there Because recruiting is critical Uh we just summarize alabama ohio state They locked up most of their class Very very early on in the process Uh most of their players signed early Signing day i think Ohio state didn't have to sign anybody If i'm not mistaken I think that Alabama had to decide the running back i
Don't know if they had to sign any Others I didn't see too many others that had Spots that to get filled so that's Important to know from a recruiting Standpoint What the roster looks like at these Places And when you're choosing a place it's Interesting because it seems to me That the rich keep getting richer in the Recruiting process And uh the ohio states of the world Um let me just put this up here national Signing day The the ohio states of the world Uh the um the Alabamas of the world now you see Uh some of the other schools that have To have a chance there To try and get move into the top five With auburn kind of Jumping out of the mix so you're going To start you know obviously lsu was in The top five Notre dame every single year is in the Top ten It's important to to start reaching out To those schools right away because They are going to pursue the next class And the earlier you start getting in the Mix there Uh the better off you're gonna be the Earlier you start
Getting your name out there the better Off you're gonna be And from a recruiting standpoint it Makes all the difference Um because offers go out early So players like corey foreman was the Number one player in the country He was out there and and talked about From the time um he was on varsity And he was at camps dominating camps Uh and you know so those those are kind Of things that Every prospect needs to start doing they Need to To to you know get their name out there Now start reaching out the prospect uh To schools now In in finding out you know what they're Looking for and finding out what their Rosters are So they have an opportunity to get Recruited i'm going to be at coach human Over on twitter And you guys can go um and i'll put this Up here for you guys So you can see it This is one of them i also have this Video here i'll share with you quickly This is one of the most tricky issues For athletes right now how to get Recruited during covid There's some specific things that you Can do to really help your situation Um but if you're a class of 2021 and
Possibly even class of 2022 this is Gonna be a difficult process because The ncaa has allowed uh athletes to be Able to come back And uh have another year so With them having another year uh coaches Are gonna stick with a lot of times Players that have already been in the Program And uh part of the system as opposed to Getting new players Aka high school high school athletes or Even Uh some of the juco athletes or even Prep school So that's the number one most difficult Thing that you have to deal with Uh number two thing that you have to be Aware of Is the transfer portal so in this 2021 and maybe a little bit for 2022 as Well The issue is there's been a huge Increase in players in the transfer Portal signing with Uh division one programs and fcs Programs How does that affect athletes that Are looking to go to schools well Ultimately less scholarships So a simple way to think about it is If if a team has 20 scholarships Available For their class for 2021
And five of those are taken up by Transfers And 10 of those are taken up by players Returning that normally would have Graduated That's 15 scholarships gone which means Only five scholarships available Now that's an important thing to Understand because It's it's simply a supply and demand Thing if there's less number of Scholarships available It's going to be much more difficult and A lot of athletes are going to be in Pwo which means preferred walk-on Uh up uh situation so it's important to Know the school who the scholarships That they have returning and ask those Questions about that So if you're interested if you believe That you really do have that level that You can play At it's important to ask those questions About Um what scholarships are available Um and how many players you're going to Sign that class because you don't want To waste any time With a place that's not going to have Any scholarships available for you Um so it's real important to figure Those things out within that process Covet has had a huge effect on the fact That you have a lot of athletes coming
Back that might have normally graduated And moved on in their situation from a Recruiting standpoint So it's important to ask the questions About uh at every school and The second thing is if you do want to Play in college And there are no scholarships available What do you do next So if you're a very good student i don't Recommend Going to juco route um because you lose Eligibility Each year you play in juco Go the prep school route if you feel Like that you need another year to Develop Because of that situation but there's no Guarantee So um a lot of athletes Have take preferred walk-ons that would Not have normally or Will have to take the opportunity to Play at a Division two or division three level Because if you think about it if guys Who were recruited Fbs level um Were no longer able to get scholarships Let's say Because there are fewer scholarships They get pushed down to fcs And so on and so forth so everyone may Get pushed down half a level or a level
Because of the fact that uh there aren't As many scholarships available So this is a key component to Understanding Uh your recruiting process then the Second ques the the next Question is how do i get recruited If i can't get on campus so everybody's Hopeful that this summer we'll be able To do it maybe the end of spring Nobody knows the answer to that question Whether be able to get on campus So there are three important things that You should think about Number one how are you going to Market your capabilities whether it's Your coach or yourself How are you going to get that out there Okay In the past um there was there's a There will still be a full slate of Independent camps which means Tied to not not tied to colleges which i Think are very valuable for Building your resume building your Competition base Um building your exposure The summer camps for colleges most Likely will be back this year but we Don't know So you can't take a chance that you're Hoping for that like you did last year Like a lot of athletes did last year And it doesn't work out so a really key
Component Is to figure out how can you showcase Your skills So one of the ways you could do that is Do a virtual combine Uh i've seen colleges like penn state Send instructions for it We have a instructions for it at nuc Sports And we'll break out that film for you um But they're Doing a virtual combine following the Parameters That the school outlays asking that School what they'd like to see And then doing those drills videoing Them And sending them out okay camp film if You go to independent camps if you can Get Yourself camp film from these combines Or camps You're gonna have to utilize that until Things go back to normal usually it's Used for purely exposure but now you Might need that film Okay obviously your game film if you got To play this year your game feels Important If you didn't get to play this year and You played in an all-star game or you Play or you attended the camp You're gonna have to use whatever film You have or do a virtual combine
And send that information it's not as Good as what you would normally get Um but it's definitely better than doing Nothing Okay or seven on seven as well if you're Doing if you're with a club 717 Next thing you have to do is how do you Position it out there you're gonna have To Have all of your traits that make you A recruitable player be able to tweet Them email them Text them whatever opportunity you have To reach out and you're gonna have to Reach out Over and over again if you don't reach Out over and over again You're gonna limit your opportunities Okay that's a critical component to it You gotta reach out over and over again Okay i would make phone calls to the Schools that you're most interested in Talk to their coaches and see if you're Someone that's gonna be on their radar Screen I would do all those things in order to Put yourself in a Better position okay Uh and then finally you're gonna have to See if you can Schedule appointments with coaches that You can get on Zoom or whatever online conference call Program they use to be able to meet them
In person I recommend making a video of yourself Introducing yourself Showing all your your intangible size Height weight and reach Doing all those kind of things uh your Wingspan And then also showing your athletic Skills with an introduction to who you Are what kind of student you are Uh why you think you could be a division One player if that's what you're looking For Um you know what it is you love about The game just so they could get a little Bit more insight because they may not Get to meet you And then hopefully you can schedule that Zoom call or Or uh conference call with them where They can meet you Online before uh if they haven't again If they're not Having a junior day or some sort of Opportunity there If things open up you gotta attend Junior days you gotta get on campus Combined with all the other things that I already mentioned Okay you're gonna have to be proactive In this process More than you've ever been okay and just To get in a situation where you think That um
Uh if you think that not you know Waiting for someone to show up at your Door that's this is not gonna happen Anymore it doesn't happen anymore period Okay there is no such thing as being Discovered where you could send huddle Links and they get 10 000 of them You have to be persistent you have to Showcase yourself you have to show why You're different And you've got to put multiple things Together that can help you Uh from that standpoint hopefully these Things can help you get recruited Uh if you get a chance subscribe to my Channel Uh and you see sports uh and you see Foot Football um follow give us a like Comment if you have any questions if There's a video you'd like to see me do Hit in the comments a video you'd like To see me do because i'll be glad to To do for you great so we covered A ton of stuff there if you're prospects That uh Uh you can find you can ask questions me Over at coach schuman if i don't get to It right away i'll get to it at some Point today i'll ask Answer any questions i'll try and answer Them live for you Here as well if i can um And and so if you ask me questions on

Uh i want to get one of those mics that You can kind of walk around with because This Is sitting in one place thing is not for Me but it's it's important tonight as Well I'm gonna be um a special guest uh For for mr gadny and uh the playbook Athlete You can check them out at Playbookathlete Um they do a great job of Helping prospects and i'll be his guest Tonight this evening So if you want to check me out there I'll be talking about the recruiting Process In depth again tonight uh live On the air on his podcast um breaking Everything down for you all of this Information this signing day stuff we'll Be Live for you at our podcast we're going To have them on all The prospect podcasts at the kitchen Sink i'll put it on our successful life Podcast So no matter where you go you could find Out everything That happened today in the recruiting I'm going into number I went through alabama already i went Through ohio state Um and now i'm going to go to georgia
So georgia You know i think if they could improve From an offensive standpoint and Continue to get the prop The prospects they have in opening Things up a little more Uh being number three again From a recruiting standpoint the state Of georgia is an exploding state Uh with recruiting prospects so It's incredible what university georgia Has Done They have jt daniels coming back they Had Two two um [Music] You know he was a number six player over 2018 Uh but georgia has signed some of the Best prospects Of a national signing day that anybody Has had Uh you could see kirby smart is on today Rivals.com Um with mike farrell and So their signees they had a heck of a Day over i mean well Early signing period was a heck of a day Um But they have their number three in the Country and we'll break down a little Bit of what they ended up getting done From a recruiting standpoint and like i
Said National signing day is no longer a Signing day Where uh He used to be everybody signed on this Day now people the majority of the top Prospects sign in the early signing Period so It's not as dramatic as it normally Would be But georgia according to 24 7 sports Number one a three team in the country Uh five started signing is already Enrolled they have uh 16 guys already on Campus Um four guys you know that have uh had Had to sign the letter intend Um that have signed their letter intent Uh All the five stars are already on campus So the four guys Marius mims from beakley county in Georgia offensive tackles Six seven three fifteen brock van der Griff Up uh and emeritus number three at his Position at tackle number one player in The state of texas brock van der griff Dual threat quarterback fantastic Prospect athlete Uh can put the ball in the money we'll We'll break down his film quickly Uh number two prospect at his position Xavier sorry number one prospect
That outside linebacker at 63214 could Fly Smail mon and and and xavier stories is Part of a lot of the way the new Outside linebackers are even more so Than it used to be They have to be able to coverage like a Like a strong safety Um and then be able to come off the ball Because a lot of times You can't just sit in a 4-2 anymore um With linebackers coming downhill Otherwise you can get taken advantage of In the passing game Smail london from baldwin county dallas Georgia another outside linebacker Georgia in my experience from running Camps all over the place Have literally uh been loaded with Prospects from that standpoint Um mike morris is a unbelievable four Star so the outfits of tackle that's two Gigantic offensive tackles That they've gotten um corner they Signed nyland green who i love the Number four prospect has positioned out Of newton georgia we've seen him in the Past at camps David daniel out of woodstock great Athlete can go anywhere on the field for You Uh a third in his position a bunch of Guys signed from them That are already there and then a big
Prospects The best prospect of the guys that have Not yet enrolled their dylan fairchild Offensive guard um along with jared Wilson so you got Four five six lyman five linemen in this Uh Group four lime yeah four lyman in this One two three Four offensive alignment two guards two Tackles That are they're gonna make a huge Impact they're really trying to shore up That offensive line so they can really Improve their run game get Get the dual threat quarterbacks going Um and and really leverage jt daniels For For next year but the guys are bringing In for the future are going to make a Huge impact Uh there and uh so That that's georgia we'll take a quick Look at brock van der griff's film From uh prince avenue christian school Out of bogart georgia One of the things you'll notice about a Lot of the sec schools now alabama goes All over the country georgia doesn't Have to go too far outside of its state Just because of the number of prospects It's it's probably It's it's always it's past california a Couple years in prospects but
It's three or four in the country every Single year uh from a prospect Standpoint And uh obviously brock van der griff had A season so i'm trying to See if i can get any of kind of his his Uh Future these this year's highlights Um [Music] Let's see All right here we go this is just some Highlights from the big game they won by A lot and you'll just Kind of see some some basic things but His deliverability his Athletic ability and his size are unique Here And then i'm going to take a a brief Pause as i come back to to break down More of the classes here but Let's share the screen So brock van der griff Huge prospect the off the power reed Throwing the slant and delivers the ball With with great velocity Runs an offense that translates really Well i mean spread he has the mobility Can deliver the ball like so his quick Release is is Is a game changer um which is why he's Going to be an unbelievable prospect From You know playing a private school which
Will be some some real good athletes Um you know but they'll also Uh they'll dominate some programs too Because of that Um he could run the ball well i think He's a good runner Uh he's got excellent size which will Allow him to be that kind of downhill Runner Uh and he has you know some explosive Speed Um but you'll see the quick release the Ability to get the ball out of his hands Now and deliver it fast and furiously is A huge impact that's good that's the Kind of prospect of quarterback that Georgia needs especially With some of the turnover they've had um And And you know they got they got a little Lucky and that jt daniels is exactly What they You know is a better prospect than they Might have thought Uh they weren't sure if he was gonna be What he ended up being This kid right here brock van der griff Is gonna be uh what they need Uh his arm and his athleticism but just To release the ability to get the ball Out of his hands Is is electric literally electric Um i mean you can throw from any Positions interesting
Really really interesting prospect we'll Return a little bit Later i'm going to take a a little break Here Um and uh just come back with you guys So just pause here This is one of the most tricky issues For athletes right now how to get Recruited during Covid there's some specific things that You can do to really help your situation Um but if you're a class of 2021 and Possibly even class of 2022 this is Going to be a difficult process Because the ncaa has allowed uh Athletes to be able to come back and Have another year so with them having Another year Uh coaches are going to stick with a lot Of times Players that have already been in the Program And uh part of the system uh as opposed To getting new players Uh aka high school high school athletes Or even Uh some of the juco athletes or even Prep school So that's the number one most difficult Thing that you have to deal with Uh number two thing that you have to be Aware of Is the transfer portal so in this 2021 and maybe a little bit for 2022 as
Well The issue is there's been a huge Increase in players in the transfer Portal signing with Uh division one programs and fcs Programs How does that affect athletes that Are looking to go to schools well Ultimately less scholarships So a simple way to think about it is If if a team has 20 scholarships Available For their class for 2021 And 5 of those are taken up by transfers And 10 of those are taken up by players Returning that normally would have Graduated That's 15 scholarships gone which means Only five scholarships available Now that's an important thing to Understand because It's it's simply a supply and demand Thing if there's less number of Scholarships available it's going to be Much more difficult and a lot of Athletes are going to be in Pwo which means preferred walk-on Uh up uh situation so it's important to Know the school who the scholarships That they have returning and ask those Questions about that so If you're interested if you believe that You really do have that level that you Can play at
It's important to ask those questions About Um what scholarships are available Um and how many players you're going to Sign in that class because you don't Want to waste any time With a place that's not going to have Any scholarships available for you Um so it's real important to figure Those things out within that process Covet has had a huge effect on the fact That you have a lot of athletes coming Back that might have normally graduated And moved on in their situation from a Recruiting standpoint So it's important to ask the questions About Every school and the second thing is if You do want to play in college And there are no scholarships available What do you do Next so if you're a very good student i Don't recommend Going to juco route um because you lose Eligibility Each year you play in juco uh Go the prep school route if you feel Like that you need another year to Develop because of that situation But there's no guarantee so um A lot of athletes have taken preferred Walk-ons that would not have normally Or will have to take the opportunity to Play at a
Division two or division three level Because if you think about it if guys Who were recruited at Fbs level um Were no longer able to get scholarships Let's say Because there are fewer scholarships They get pushed down to fcs And so on and so forth so everyone may Get pushed down half a level or a level Because of the fact that there aren't as Many scholarships available So this is a key component to Understanding Uh your recruiting process then the Second ques the the next Question is how do i get recruited If i can't get on campus so everybody's Hopeful that this summer we'll be able To do it maybe the end of spring Nobody knows the answer to that question Whether be able to get on campus So there are three important things that You should think about Number one how are you going to Market your capabilities whether it's Your coach or yourself How are you going to get that out there Okay In the past um there was there's a There will still be a full slate of Independent camps which means Tied to not not tied to colleges which i Think are very valuable for
Building your resume building your Competition base Um building your exposure The summer camps for colleges most Likely will be back this year but we Don't know so you can't Take a chance that you're hoping for That like you did last year like a lot Of athletes did last year And it doesn't work out so a really key Component Is to figure out how can you showcase Your skills So one of the ways you could do that is Do a virtual combine I've seen colleges like penn state send Instructions for it We have a instructions for it at nuc Sports And we'll break out that film for you um But they're Doing a virtual combine following the Parameters That the school outlays asking that School what they'd like to see and then Doing those drills Videoing them and sending them out okay Camp film if you go to independent camps If you can get yourself Camp film from these combines or camps You're gonna have to utilize that until Things go back to normal usually it's Used for purely exposure but now you Might need that film
Okay obviously your game film if you got To play this year your game feels Important If you didn't get the play this year and You played in an all-star game or you Play or you attended the camp You're gonna have to use whatever film You have or do a virtual combine And send that information it's not as Good as what you would normally get Um but it's definitely better than doing Nothing Okay or seven on seven as well if you're Doing if you're with a club seven and 17. The next thing you have to do is how do You position it out there you're gonna Have to Have all of your traits that make you A recruitable player be able to tweet Them email them Text them whatever opportunity you have To reach out and you're gonna have to Reach out Over and over again if you don't reach Out Over and over again you're gonna limit Your opportunities Okay that's a critical component to it You gotta reach out Over and over again okay I would make phone calls to the schools That you're most interested in and talk To their coaches and see if you're
Someone that's going to be on their Radar screen I would do all those things in order to Put yourself in a better Position okay And then finally you're gonna have to See if you can Schedule appointments with coaches that You can get on zoom Or whatever online conference call Program they use To be able to meet them in person i Recommend making a video of yourself Introducing yourself showing all your Your intangible size height weight and Reach doing all those kind of things Uh your wingspan and then also showing Your athletic skills With an introduction to who you are what Kind of student you are Uh why you think you could be a division One player if that's what you're looking For Um you know what it is you love about The game just so they can get a little Bit more insight because they may not Get to meet you And then hopefully you can schedule that Zoom call or Or uh conference call with them where They can meet you Online before uh if they haven't again If they're not Having a junior day or some sort of
Opportunity there If Okay so we're back here i don't know if I was Muted for some reason okay We're good and so now the next thing That i want to talk about so we We went through one two and three so Georgia Uh was three number two was ohio state Number one was alabama we broke down Their class um the next one which Really really i had an unbelievable Class Off of a two years ago Winning the national championship um This year Struggling a bit um having to make some Moves but defensively was a huge issue Huge issue for them uh hopefully they Fixed it And uh they had to move some people out At the coaching position Um but the recruiting stays strong And uh their pause that's lsu Uh according to 24 7 sports has them at Number Four and uh You know they're a program That is completely uh with that orgeron Ed orgeron first of all is known To being a fantastic recruiter Fantastic recruiter there's maybe No other well nick saban obviously is
Number one uh probably recruiter in the Country um Ryan day quickly is establishing himself As being uh maybe a Top maybe being the number two i mean That's You know i would have said edwards are On but you know kirby smart Ed orgeron now ryan day Um i don't know if it's because of ohio State or or Ryan day is that good but whatever it is They're winning ball games they're Getting the national championships And uh ryan day has improved upon What what urban meyer was able to do Which is is just a huge impact in their Recruiting But number four being lsu They're recruiting and what they were Able to do in this class Is fantastic again Lsu needed to fill A lot of spots having lost a lot of Players To the nfl last year and so because of That You got a situation where Uh lsu struggled this year with opt-outs To fill all their spots that needed to Be filled so Receiver spots defensive on defense it Was a disaster And they should be able to fix it with a
Lot of the prospects That they put in the pike last year and The ones that they got in the pike For this year so let's take a quick look Um at lsu's Signees here Okay and lsu [Music] First of all they had a huge signee with Uh Saving jones keeping him at home I think that was a big one they wanted To make sure They had their um Saving is a dynamic Prospect who can run Um from the defensive end defensive Tackle position He's going to get bigger but that's a Huge huge keep for them [Music] Louisiana state university is huge Huge on keeping louisiana prospects Louisiana the state of louisiana In my opinion is the most Underrated state in the country when it Comes to recruiting Having run many many many many many many Camps there I'm always impressed with the athletes And their dedication to football so Louisiana state university Lsu has done an Unbelievable job of building a football
State i call it little texas Because of just a number of prospects Per capita there's only four million People there and they have something Like 80 80 or 90 division one prospects every Single year Probably more i gotta look that up i got A fact check on that Um but lsu In in accordance to 24 7 sports Is the number four rated team in the Country Five star mason smith already enrolled They have nine enrollees Eleven that have signed the letter of Intent their other five star sage Allen from lafayette christian academy Um he's the number two in his position It's safety Mason smith is number two at his Position At defensive tackle at terrebonne omaha Louisiana and sage lafayette Um again louisiana their theme You know they now have the ability to Recruit nationally But when you see their recruits most of Their guys give me louisiana And then a little bit of texas a little Bit of mississippi What eduardo has been able to do is be Able to get a couple of guys here and There from different places like greg
Penn from the math a catholic four-star Prospect inside linebacker Uh he went you know out to um Ohio to get corey keiner which is from Roger bacon another a powerhouse program A running back that's what they you know Much needed uh someone who could be Dynamic in that position going forward On the defensive side of the ball where They really need to get some Some defensive players they got derrick Davis four star from gateway High school which is a traditional power Program out in pennsylvania for many Many years Uh they got wide receiver dion smith From jackson academy in mississippi Uh they are quarterback uh gary Newsmeyer Is that um i wonder if that's nusmeyer's Son Doug it doug newsmeyer is that possible Am i uh 61182 Um four star prospect Out of flower mound um Uh they got uh an outside linebacker That could Fly again i talked about that those Outside linebackers now are like Borderline strong safeties they used to Think about them as strong safeties at Six Four 193 from hateful charter in in Atlanta georgia
Um they went all the way to georgia to Get that four-star prospect there loving 11th grade that is also a linebacker Position he is an athlete and a half Uh landon jackson from pleasant grove uh Defensive end at 6-6 240. um wasn't a huge Class in the offensive lineman only Signing two That is a little bit of a concern for me I want to see the Their class very heavy in what they were Missing skill Running backs galore it was also signed Armani goodwin from From trussville alabama and so lsu Got a lot of things that they need to Feel they need to fill some of the skill Position they lose because so many of Their guys go on to the nfl Um it's one of those kind of deals there That uh they see happen Uh for prospects by the way today um [Music] If you do go to nuc sports or Topprospectelite.com first of all we go To ngc sports there's a wealth of Recruiting information there for you Topprospect elite.com is where you can Go and sign up for events You could use code nsd21 Nsd 21 to Get 60 off today um For national signing day celebration of
All the prospects Getting signed today i love National signing day it's one of my Favorite days of the year Uh it's so interesting to see all the Different prospects of where they're Going This just came a couple of interesting Ones just came in um Akron just signed dante pollard that's The guy they were waiting on a defensive Pack Unbelievable athlete at penn hills pa They just got that in that's a big big Get for them Let's see if a couple other ones that i Just saw coming through here Uh I just saw michigan state Michigan state is is has not been able To hang with michigan Or some of the other big ten programs uh Which is surprising Let's see what i saw here i just saw Michigan state And by the way if you sign um And you want us to retweet it out this Is the time to do it we're we're We're getting them all out there colby Fields signed uh with south carolina Um and kaden white so that that's a huge Deal over there two prospects Um signing with south carolina It's everything you know they they need
A lot of help from Beamers got it really worked at uh we Covered savion jones earlier today Uh from lsu uh i don't think we covered This yet i love louisiana carriage and Cajuns their class man there's plenty of Prospects in louisiana Uh the raging cajuns signed another one From uh karenko Karen crowe kendall williams uh Running back who's definitely one of the The sleeper prospects of that state So kendrell i'm sorry williams It was i just saw a michigan state Prospect come through that I want to comment on What we got here uh Let's see appaloosa Catholics high school keon coleman Signed with michigan state Which is a big yet for them uh explosive Athlete at louisiana And anytime you're able to dip into States like louisiana or georgia if You're from out of state Those are florida obviously these are Hotbeds Um on what they you know you need to be Able to do michigan state needs more of That Um it's it you know The biggest the biggest news of the day Was michigan flipping uh oak park's ray Sean benny from michigan state
Um and then he all they also added a Colorado flip so Harbaugh i guess getting stability there From from a situation where he signed You know contract again and so they're Getting more stability which is why they Got a top 10 class Let's talk about stability in these Recruiting classes before i get to the Number five Class in the country before i wrap up my Early part of the day here On national signing day Stability in the coach that you have Has become a huge part so Some of the uh upstart programs That are signing coaches but lose them Every few years that's been a problem In getting top recruits nick saban has Shown stability at alabama It looks like kirby smart is showing Stability at georgia Um todd helton at usc They gave him vote of confidence he got Time to do it If he continues to win they could have Stability there in usc In getting and getting recruits oregon Has some level of stability there um So you know does texas a m have Stability with jimbo fisher i think so i Mean he's always been a great recruiter Uh lsu and edward geron lsu has always Recruited great is there stability there
That's this year is a big year for lsu This year is a huge year for lsu Because then they can establish that Stability that they need In order to keep pulling those top five Classes every single year Uh ohio state obviously ryan day In a very very short time period has Given recruits the understanding that That's a stable place to be able to get Recruited So it's it's important for recruits To be able to feel like even though a Lot of them are looking to go to nfl in A very short time period Recruits seem to want to have some level Of stability in that school and if they Don't That they have a a cachet coach or a Coach with personality That really can get other players to Come there and i say that with like You know what remains to be seen well Mike mike leach at mississippi state Um um lane kiffin at mississippi Uh sarkeesian we'll see what happens at Texas But some of these other places that have Not so arizona state is starting to get Obviously uh some stability there so With her mad words And if they could win and create that Stability Then they're in good shape so we might
Bring that up is Michigan's signing harbaugh I'm guessing they're thinking they got Stability there just because their Prospects are pretty good Even though they haven't been able to They didn't have as Good a year this year and so that Stability goes a long way Why do you think rutgers goes and gets A much improved class i would say Even though it's his first year shiano Provides stability Okay and if people believe that their Stability in the program Top prospects are going to be more Likely to entertain The opportunity to go there and i think That's a huge huge Part that's underestimated and Undervalued In recruiting the stability Of a prospect and what uh the prospect Is looking for From from a recruiting standpoint so i Think that's a key key thing And i think that um you know When when prospects are looking uh To find players that's what they're Looking for Uh let's find coaches they're looking For a level of stability That is a is a game changer for them and There's no doubt
About that that's the case there At a lot of the bigger schools that's Where you do see that separation And the up and comers um need to have That stability as well It'll be curious to see what happens With programs like minnesota Indiana going forward who had In the end had a great year this year Minnesota expected to be better Did not iowa state um which doesn't get The ti i mean what were they ranked and Then recruiting iowa state is Is iowa stadium in the top 50 They must be in the top 20. Yeah iowa state according to 24 7 sports Is 53 and indiana is 54. So you know when you talk about the Recruiting rankings too like How important are these recruiting Rankings and how good are they are they Just Rating the top guy like i guess in the Top five yes When you get out of maybe the top ten is There big differences in the three star That's going to indiana versus the three Star that's going to arizona state i Don't know that there is i think it's How they develop I think size and athletics is a big part Like i love what What ioa state does with their Recruiting they they sign tyler moore is
A 6'5 245 Pound tight end out of iowa they sign Uh a a canadian wide receiver six five Two hundred pounds tristan Michael their they're thinking outside The box From a recruiting standpoint they signed An offensive lineman Dodge saucer from at the state of iowa They get Their iowa prospects better than the University of iowa maybe even They sign a 6-7 260 tackle that needs Development out of davenport iowa from Assumption he's going to give you Everything he has They signed jim bone bonafide 65 255. These tight end like tackles who they Can develop Into big giant guys when they get them Into the weight room they signed What a weak side the end 64220 out of North scott Iowa joey peterson i love What iowa state is doing even though it Doesn't look Traditional okay that's an important Thing to understand malik vernon from Hamilton ohio that's a big giant athlete 64205 They're going gonna get themselves uh You know a a prospect um From an athlete position that can do a Lot of different things for them
And um as long as they can keep getting A quarterback that does the what they Need to do they're getting The different all-purpose backs out of Florida out of lutzfarta d gonzalez They're 53 rated but they got a class When you look at these class I think size in athleticism If you have height is going to have a Huge impact at the college football game And iowa state has done that So you can't underestimate what they Have done Okay so we go into the top five Rounding out the top five like you know I can't be remiss without and and then The show until i get back with you later Today Clemson number one in the acc i would Expect that But uh simon will shipley is an All-purpose back Five-star fantastic athlete number one Apb in the country out of weddington a Powerhouse program In north carolina now clemson has to dip Into a lot of different places because They're not going to get enough of Players from south carolina They go into states like georgia they go To california they go to florida they go You know st joe's pa which had a ton of Prospects this year Jeremiah trotter at inside linebacker
Six feet 210 a lightning fastens on Linebacker They got gigantic jake bringstall stool Sorry for tennessee Out of ravenwood at six five two fifteen Another star wide receiver from st john Bosco and beau collins At 63 195 And let's get to what you know the guys That i really really like here so Um you know at offensive guard marcus Tate from true prep In florida uh i love the length of Nathaniel wiggins From west lake uh georgia Uh i love the size out of defensive Tackle peyton page you can really That's that defense tackle position Where you just can't run on them They like to clog it up there with the One tech uh at a dudley green uh Greensboro in north carolina um they got A big back out of grayson where they're Just Produced players like you can't believe Out of grayson High school in georgia loganville Georgia phil moffa At 6 1 2 15 and a fantastic center At a ryan lithicum at damascus high School in In maryland so those guys are all Enrolled they did get an Uh two five stars that have yet to
