But why would that drop his ranking?

Perception influences Rivals' ranking. Just another reason you shouldn't pay it any attention. There should be a disclaimer when you view the prospects, "this information is for entertainment purposes only."

Who is coming in with Prater? Mom and Dad or a friend or coach?

I think if it is the fam then that is a really good thing.

Yeah... I remember this also but as far as I know, there is no credible source. Coaches would know more than we do so maybe they have been scared away.... Either way, I am not going to assume. If we are assuming it happened.... I am going to say it could be worse and at his age, a lot of us would have done it. She would be more responsible for it in my mind. He is younger and she is the one with the husband. He has no obligations to anyone. I am not defending the situation. Just saying. I do think it's wrong if it happened.

I think he should get a medal if it's true. I seriously doubt that is the incident that has scared teams off. You don't back off a top WR prospect like Ambles just for that. Doesn't happen. It doesn't affect team chemistry, doesn't really indicate anything about character (could just be a young, naive kid) and doesn't have a damn thing to do with what kind of player he is.

i'm not passing judgement i'm just stating the reason why ambles is not the #1 receiver in this class even though his talent level is that of a top ten player.

If we can somehow pull him in, it will shut up everyone about our offensive recruiting if Milton's commitment hasn't already.

Explain this to me. Sure, he will rise in the rankings, but how is it so awesome as to shut people up by getting the 46th overall receiver ?

Get Prater, yeah, but is getting Milton really on the STFU level ?

We landed Ambles, we landed a 4 star receiver in Milton - he's only 4 spots behind Keiwone Malone - and we are right on track with our offensive linemen. Fulton will be a 4 star guy before the end of it - even if he doesn't get the ratings, he's there as a player in most minds. Pair is a solid scheme guy. Jose Jose will make a good center if they can get the weight off of him and they think they can. These are guys that have been recruited heavily by top schools.

Everyone kept saying that not having a QB was going to kill our offensive recruiting and it doesn't seem to have affected it at all. Who out there do we get that we don't already have if we land Scroggins? We are going to get James Stone anyway and we lead for Demarco Cobbs. We are in really good shape offensively. We likely take three more O linemen, a guy that fits the system like Cameron Clemmons, James Stone and then a JuCo guy and I don't see a QB affecting that outcome one way or another.

Hahaha. That's pretty awesome. The reason I'm against it is mainly because I'd hate someone to knowingly hook up with my wife. I am not married but thinking serious girlfriend in this situation. I don't blame him though. I blame her. He is doing what a lot of kids his age would do. But yes, his talent can't be over looked. I'd much rather have him over someone like dog murderer Vick who smashes them against pavement for losing. This is understandable. What Vick did will never be. 70,000 fans and 200 million wasn't enough so he bet on dogs killing each other and funded it. Sorry, sorry. Way drunk by now. I hate him though. I really do. Vick that is. Prater is ok in my book.

Only 3 more lineman? I really think we should take a few juco guys cause we need lineman that can play from day 1

on top of that...who knows we might already have our qb locked up and that's the reason these wr's are committing.

I would like to think that but I'm thinking they will be the reason a quarterback comes. Either way.... I'm happy if we land a quarterback.

So your saying it's the cumulative affect of getting Milton.

It just sounded like you were saying getting him would shut mouths alone.

:eek:k:

If that were to happen, I would personally question the decision-making of my wife way before the kid.

We will obviously work on firming it up tomorrow, but right now we're hearing that Kyle Prater is expected to be in town tomorrow.

There had been some doubt as to whether he would make it in, but late word on Friday is that he'll be here.

Yeah, no. I wasn't saying landing Milton was such a coup that it would quiet naysayers. Until we land a QB, there will continue to be doubters. I just think the direction that the offensive recruiting is going should be enough to satisfy those of us that are approaching this from a realistic standpoint. Hell, I'm thrilled.

Also don't discount Milton. He is a big, strong kid and he runs a 4.57. That's great speed for a 6'6" guy. You don't see guys with those abilities fail very often. He is an excellent pick up for this staff and a perfect fit in Kiffin's offense. Basically the only big guy we have right now is Quintin Hancock and he's a senior.

Check that Alabama thread I posted if you want to see what picking up Ambles and Milton has done for the perception of offensive recruiting.

Oh definitely. It's probably easy for some people to judge a 17 year old at the age of 40 or w/e age they may be. I am not that far removed from high school that I forgot what it's like. Lane is one of the younger coaches so he'd be more understanding than the Joe Pa's of the world. They had 3 kids by the age of 22 in his day. :p

Yea, I'm content even if we don't get a quarterback.
No disrespect to Milton intended at all. If we got him, I think he's the best.
