Unless we get Chance, today was largely a flop

I mean losing Sampson sucks but if you call today a flop, you're not paying attention.

One of the 2 four star crown jewels decommits. What would you call it?

Right, I think the fact that we've got so many in who appear to be fine academically is a phenomenal start to the class. Now we've got 6 weeks to backfill whichever spots don't get taken today.

It's like guaranteeing 60-70% of your class before the Feb. NLOI day.

I certainly feel much more comfortable now than in the past.

In late here - are RBs in?

Neither.

Nope.

...I don't see the point in following this stuff year round anymore. ...

Yeah, this is where I stand. There's a gut-punch every year with this stuff, it's easier to just wait until August and see who's on the practice field.

Still a lot to be pleased with in this class but if you also want to say today's a flop I can't help you

 

[upperdeck]

I think people who thought he came in and started next year were reaching though.. Great to get a 4 star kid but he may well have been 2 yrs down the road to see the field.

Any link to Lewis’ departure & Sampson changing his mind?

Any link to Lewis’ departure & Sampson changing his mind?

Some people on the recruiting board saying they know why, but not related to the departures. They are not being forthcoming with info to respect his privacy.

Wait wasn't this our only 4 star recruit. Any way u slice it or dice it, it's bad news. Not sure why we're trying to spin it. I never heard any news about him not being 1,000% committed until he wasn't.

It's a loss but hopefully they have a backup plan. I never really understood the fake commitment before the real one anyway if you ask me. It's alot for a young kid to make his plans so early in process and then let it fester and see things develop that may be better. It's completely human what he did.

 

[Orijinal]

Could this be a Sean Lewis casualty?

 

[Cuseregular]

That totally sucks. Wonder what happened as was pretty sure he was 100% committed.

I'd imagine another 4-8 happened that's what. Blows

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[Moontan]

Wow!
Didn’t expect this, especially after Lewis’ departure.

 

[TexanMark]

Awesome...helps the sting of Sampson

 

[Yegorange]

Awesome news!

yeah that's it...smh

Grades, maybe? He just tweeted he is no longer graduating early.

Maybe Cuse told him he couldnt sign today since "grades" and that pissed him off, knee jerk reaction, boom opens recruitment.

 

[Cusegolfer]

So here’s what stands out to me. Size. Especially the skill guys. All are long and lean or jacked.

Lutz is probably our smallest kid and even if he’s 5-11 he’s still easily 195.

I was just noticing that a big upgrade in size coming with the speed and talent!

 

[TexanMark]

On Sampson...reading the tea leaves

Sounds like something personal... doesn't feel like a flip

Suggest we let Young Sampson and SU work things out if possible
