Proud2BAHoosier Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I saw where former Navy recruit Devin Mockobee, grad from Booneville HS, has decommitted and will play for the black & gold up north. He is quite the athlete having won a state championship in the long jump I believe. This is a good one that got away..... Boonville grad, Devin Mockobee, heading to Purdue, decommits from Navy (14news.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 This kid might end up being decent, but he isn't even in the top 2000 on 247. They show his offers as Navy, Valparaiso, and Hanover College. He's ranked lower than any commit we've had since 2018 (the one guy lower that year was McFadden lol). Purdue can have him. Their recruiting has been terrible lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their recruiting has been terrible lately. I was thinking the same thing. Not knocking the kid for taking the opportunity to get a BIG level education and play football while doing it. But his offer list is virtually nonexistent. There are two guys Brohm have picked up recently that had 0 power 5 offers outside of PU. It reminds me of Lynch recruiting at the moment.

Caleb Murphy (West Washington) - IU 7. Kyle King (New Pal) - MSU 20. James Bomb (Bloomington) - Miami 2021 4. Zen Michalski (Floyd’s Knobs) - OSU 9. Austin Booker (Greenwood) - Minny 10. Luke Collinsworth (Brookville) - Cincy 12. Aaron Steinfeldt (Bloomington) - IU 17. Jaelin AVD (Moorsville) - Purdue 19. Zach Richards (Moorsville) - Purdue I’m not too concerned. Obviously rankings aren’t always perfect, but the recruits from the southern (very tough to get agreement on where the region even is) end up all over the place.

I wouldn't count Booker, the Mooresville kids, or Kyle King as kids from So IN. I would count Preston Terrell though. He spent his first 16 years living in So IN. The state is producing more and more.. we just have to stay solid instate. 5 of the top 12 every year or so. OSU and ND are going to get theirs.

Their recruiting has been terrible lately. Not having on-campus visits plus a few sub-par years certainly hasn’t helped. But bringing Hagen back is already paying dividends. Great hire IMO. Will really help in the Strickland recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unrelated comment, but what are the odds that a kid named Collinsworth commits to Cincinnati and isn’t related to Cris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because a guy like Steinfeldt had roared up that list and had a very good ranking after the season. I don’t see any reason why he would have fallen. Big guy with athleticism.

The composite takes into account the 247, ESPN, and Rivals rankings. In his case he is 4 on 247, 10 on Rivals, and 18 on ESPN. It looks like his composite is pulled down by ESPN. I’m not entirely sure how the scores are combined, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like Collinsworth is that common of a name. That and you never know when it comes to kids and physical stature. My 10 year old is only about 6” shorter than me at this point. About a year ago, I had to break a 5th-6th grade football coach’s heart by telling him he was only going into 3rd grade….lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always given the most stock to 247. I think they put the most resources in and their thoughts tend to bear out better. Just IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
