2019 commitment

[paladinduece]

Have seen Barton in person he is very athletic for a young man his size. I think Jumper has a chance to be a big get as well. Lots of room on that frame and again mobile. Here is a link to highlights from the db on the list Jones https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5616371/5b ... 0c60c37c57

per twitter, Furman just picked up another commit tonight. Pearson Toomey - Boles School 6-3 250 OG previously committed to Army. Rivals two stars. Great film. Had offers from all three academies plus Costal.

I mean, yeah, sure he’s fast & quick, with great feet, very athletic, uses great technique, looks strong, throws everybody ‘out of the bar,’ hustles, has played against strong competition, and plays mean & nasty (but clean), but he’s only 6-3.

Are we really sure we want him?

mid-season highlights…

Bear, what do you think?

Nice pickup in Toomey. Love the way he keeps his balance and feet moving.

NICE - thanks for the brief analysis FUBeAR. let's keep getting these great OL and DL. I agree - I mean he has great technique and effort but don't you want a slow guy who is 6'5 ? Have to get those measurable of height.. LOL

Anyone know what recruits were at the Wofford game?

Is that ok to share? I don't want to break any rules! I would think it's ok to share because when I see them they have stickers on identifying them usually.

I don't know names but there were a lot of recruits Saturday.

One similarity you notice between Toomey and Jumper is how they finish plays. They have an assignment, and that assignment is usually driven to the turf somewhere on the field.

Now, the play may not go for big yards, but their assignment sure enough isn't making the tackle.

Furman had a large group of recruits at the Wofford game - a few recruits in attendance mentioned on twitter it was their first junior day visit. I'm sure I saw Toomey at the game.

I saw a few other high-interest recruits; based on 247 at the game. A coach from a local high school was sitting next to me - pointed out Jalen Miller of Byrnes an OLB commit. He described Miller, as fast, strong, and plays with his hair on fire. Miller was wearing a white Furman Paladins shirt and was acting like a host to other visiting recruits. Evan Jumper was there with I'm guessing his dad.

btw… there is another commit out there not yet confirmed. My wife confirmed that commit to me last night from a conversation with a local high school's AD. I'll be going to their game tonight against their rival… hint hint!

...their assignment sure enough isn't making the tackle.

...and, like the hokey-pokey, THAT’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT...

...or “length”...I get confused sometimes.

I'll go ahead and post this at the St. Joe's vs CCES game - it was senior night - so during halftime they honored the seniors - DT/OT Jacob Johanning has committed to Furman it was announced as a full-ride. Johanning was the man among boys playing at this level. He's listed at 6-3 255, Johanning looks bigger and already has a college body.

I'll be curious to see where he plays for Furman??? Johanning and Barton on the DL could be a force. But I was told by a teacher(FU Grad) that she thinks he's being recruited for the OL.

Also, Luke Bynum (QB) is reporting offers from Furman and Wofford, I think both schools are offering him preferred walk-on spot. SJCS runs the option and is coached by two ex Terrier coaches. I thought Bynum looked really good running their offense.

Worth keeping an eye on… Junior Rashad Luckey 5-11 225 running back. Luckey is similar to Stoddard who also played at St. Joe's. Luckey ran for over 240 yards and I believe four touchdowns against CCES. He has made a junior visit to Furman.

Lots more recruits yesterday at the game yesterday..

I don't pretend to understand recruiting, but QB is a position where we haven't heard a lot of information. I wonder if with Lincoln/Grainger/Sisson there's less of a need to use a scholarship at that position in this class. Maybe they go the walk-on route with a player (like Bynum) who has played in a similar offense and keep a scholarship for that position next year.

I think we'd like to get back to having guy spend a few years in the program before throwing them out with significant action.

There was a junior QB sitting behind me yesterday. He understood that we usually threw it more ... he knew we were playing our backup QB. Same w the TE sitting behind me. Both juniors. If I’m allowed I’ll say what high school they were from? I am just very careful not to break rules
