Offers from Army and Navy. You have to assume he's a high quality kid. Love to see that type of recruiting.

I agree. Burns also said that the mystery commit will likely announce tonight.

I'm about to throw this one into the bin with Sid's facilities announcement. Burns has to either regret that tweet or he's smiling b/c the subscriptions are probably up.

I seem to recall Burnsie also said there would be a couple commitments at the BBQ last summer that never materialized. Obviously we are dealing with kids and their minds can change at the last minute...but c'mon man!

He said the kid pushed things back until tomorrow.

Edit: also, I had my day wrong. The announcement was supposed to come tonight, not yesterday.

Wait. Tonight? So you edited at 12:25 so that means we have 23 hours and 35 minutes before the announcement?

Or tonight...like it will happen before the sun comes up?

Damn recruiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The announcement was supposed to come yesterday (was still Tuesday in Utah when I posted) but will now supposedly come sometime today (Wednesday). Sorry for the confusion, I'll be back on Central time for the next 2 weeks as I'm catching a 6 a.m. flight to visit my family.
 

per ESPN:

Big Ten recruiting scorecard: June edition

MINNESOTA
2015 verbal commitments: 3
ESPN 300 prospects: 0
Highest-rated recruit: Safety Jacob Huff
Spotlight: All three of Minnesota's commits have come since May 30, and none have been rated yet by ESPN.com. Two of the three are twins, as defensive back Jacob Huff and linebacker Julian Huff each gave their pledge on June 5. Twin Cities, indeed.

can confirm that #Minnesota has landed a commitment from Akron (Ohio) three-star OT Ted Stieber (@TheBigBear75). pic.twitter.com/4jhb29bfMz

That's the mystery commit.

Happy, but don't think it was worth all the hype lol

No Western Michigan offer. Makes one wonder.
 


Welcome aboard Ted

I do think the whole mystery recruit thing was way over hyped in this case:

Seriously?
 

Connelly actually made a section, the first section of his hudl highlights titled "vs Frank Ragnow." Funny, i've never seen a player single out his play against another elite recruit when watching film. Made some plays against him too.

For those of you who were wondering like I was, apparently #BBN is Kentucky (Big Blue Nation).
 

Hudl just added the capability to embed videos just like YT videos. Let me try

<iframe src='//www.hudl.com/embed/athlete/1496765/highlights/107805413' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>

It works!! I feel so proud of myself.
 

Bronson Dovich and the Huff twins just got evaluations by espn. Jacob has a grade of 76 and the #44 S, Julian has a grade of 75 and is the #26 ILB and Bronson has a grade of 74 and is the #88 OT. 79 is the highest grade a 3 star can get and 70 is the lowest a 3 star can get.

Funny how they got their evaluations in just now. In the off season, after committing to a team.

You'd think if they really were evaluating somebody, the numbers would come out right after seeing them play some games or at least after attending a football camp.

I can't really say I trust these evaluations.

Do you realize how many HS football players there are? There are only so many hours in the day. They can't evaluate all of them. Why would they evaluate someone if they don't have a compelling reason to do so? I will never understand why so many of you guys get your panties in a twist over the recruiting services.

Dude, are you really calling me out about being high strung?

I don't really want to argue with you. But I was just stating an opinion about what I think about some of the evaluations given by these sites.

If you want to call somebody out about that, than I think it is probably you that has their "panties in a twist" this time.

BTW, I do appreciate what you have bring to this board a lot of the time. But, I do think you get carried away some of the time.
