When SAB and Ish both join the team in the future, lets make sure to resurrect this thread.
2018 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter MilesBarkley
- Start date
Enis is listed on Rivals as having signed with the Utes.
This has been a hell of a thread - from Parsons to Fields to Oweh and Walker; great job by everyone who takes the time to share news and offer insight. But, it’s over now -
Iirc, that is the JUCO where the QB
They seem to have a very competitive program. Hope SAB succeeds on and off the field.

Walker's coach, the Ohio State fan, says Penn State's superior game atmosphere was deciding factor.
By Ken Pryor on 13:54:34 02/07/18
the tide did seem to turn the night we lost to the Nits on the strength of a blocked kick return for the win. The atmosphere really resonated with him. PSU took the recruiting lead that night and although Ohio State closed the lead significantly (mighta even tied it), the Nits never quite surrendered it.
We were both in attendance in Columbus this year for the game against the Nits, but I don't think the game day environment was as passionate as it was in HV.

I really, really took a shine to the kid. I hope he realizes that his dreams are still viable, still reachable for him.
Love his use of the word "we". He doesn't even make an attempt to appear unbiased, for the kid's sake.
My thoughts exactly. Kind of creeps me out. Honestly, I think this kind of approach is inappropriate.
All of the kids I coach/have coached know I went to PSU. There have been a few over 17 years that have gotten some interest but never during that time did I try to swing them to go as much as this joker has tried with RW. Let the kid pick where they want to go as a coach, dont try and make them go where you want so you can get free tickets all the time.
Reminds me of the coach who successfully steered Wimbush to ND (in hindsight, thank god). These high school coaches should rise above being fan boys.

Any chance that the Walker and Enis decisions were connected? Is it possible this is basically Franklin's last scholarship -- so Enis had to wait for Walker's decision before he could decide? The timing looks that way to me
Right after RW announced...like he was on the Ohio State staff.
It is finished. Gave it a ride. * - Ken Pryor [13:40:10 02/07/18] (19)
In other news...Dorian Hardy to East Carolina University.
Alright 2018 in the bag and a truly great haul. So time to move on from this thread, and tomorrow catch up on the 19 thread. Can only handle one of these at a time, With any luck the 19 thread will be 100% recruiting and not get bogged down with any petty bickering. Thanks to all for the great recruiting insight.
Off to shovel some white crap.....

Penn State game day atmosphere > Ohio State game day atmosphere
I'm sure that comment went over well with all those reasonable and objective Buckeye fans...
I dont think so, but JF may have known in Dec. that getting Enis was a longshot and thats how Jahan Dotson came back into the fold.
Good in space is very appropriate.....because this class is out-of-this-world!
Kudos to Coach Franklin and his staff and welcome aboard all these blue and white student-athletes!

Walker did say that .... along with he liked the players better, the coaches better and the peacefulness and tranquility of the area..... He's a really bright young man.
I'm truly not being biased, but I've thought the same thing. Walker looks better on film than NPF does, and apparently, NPF had some struggles in all star practices & game
A good read...

This just reinforces what I have been thinking all along. I went to a North Point FB home game back in Sept, the same one where I could see their coaches aren't that bright with formations and such. Anyhow, after the game I saw RW and pointed to my PSU jacket and and gave him the palms up 'what do you think' type look. he yelled back, 'we are' and gave a thumbs up. He's wanted to go to PSU all along but his dickbag coach was holding him back. The coach is the one who probably wanted him to set the late official to OSU and give them the last say.
Walker seemed to be at the top of Urban's list as well...
