Will he grow into a tackle position?

4 star per 24/7. Not sure if he's gotten a grade from the others.

But did you read his full statement? "I would still LOVE to let other teams recruit me and show interest in my talent."

 

[patdog]

So, "committed" but not committed then. Right?

 

[The Peeper]

Sounds like the negotiations are definitely still ongoing. This is why I lost interest in everything to do w/ recruiting. I don't even care to hear players names anymore until signing day, too many drama and attention seekers for me

The NCAA needs to make "commitment" mean something. They need to say something like other coaching staffs can't contact a recruit except in person if an athlete is "committed".

The kid from Newton who announced his "commitment" to State although nobody took his commitment. He has offers from State and Jackson State but still wants teams to recruit him (although he's "committed").

Easy solution. Eliminate signing day. You can sign a player any time you want to. But once he signs, both sides are committed unless both back out of it.

I like this idea. Recent history has shown how futile NSD is. The current system seems too archaic to address technological changes.

 

[SSBGDog]

Me too. Just tell me who shows up for practice in the fall. That's really all that matters.

Looks like State lost OL Charles to LSU. He didn't write in his message that he would teams to keep recruiting him, so it much be legit.**
