Hamm Lite update on Princely :: 

Quote

 

Princely Umanmielen couldn’t make it this weekend so he was at the scrimmage tonight (Aggy)

I will have a full update tomorrow but Coach Price wanted him to come out before the end of spring ball. He says it really helped A&M’s standing with him. He’s going to the Texas spring game this weekend. It’s still A&M, Oklahoma and Texas with Oregon also in the mix now

Looks like aggy didn't want everyone bailing at halftime to head to ATX. 

I’m sure they’ll try to convince some guys to stay for something Saturday morning and take advantage of the extra time. 

We need to counter with some pre-scrimmage events throughout the day Saturday and convince guys to come to Austin Friday night or early Saturday.

Lulz. If that happened, wouldn’t it drop the number of non-committed 2020 prospects attending their spring game to like 5? I don’t even really want Omeire much, but it would be worth it just for the tears.

He could attend A&M's game on Friday if he wanted to, I guess.

SIAP but it looks like Tim Beck and Jason Washington will be out at a clinic in Scottsdale in May. We are really putting in work in Arizona.

 

Surprised Herman isn't attending this.  He and Michelle could have a good time in Scottsdale, or so I'm told...

I want to know where we stand with Wilson before wanting Omeire 

Same but the longer and longer we go without getting him on campus or at least setting a date for a UV, the less likely it seems. Hopefully we’ll get him on campus by this summer and then back in the fall for an OV. In that case, I’d tap the breaks hard on Omeire.

I've just assumed that we're getting the Cali guys in for JMBLY weekend, but we'll see

Looking at our class last year, here are the dates of the first visits for the Cali guys:

DGF: February 18

Adimora: April 24

Bru: April 28 (w/ DGF, who was already committed)

We've still got time for Flowe/Wilson, but the clock is ticking. I feel good about getting Wilson on campus at some point, but less so for Flowe.

This has been my thinking, but I think JMBLYA is a double edged sword, especially on first visits when the coaching staff wants as much face time with the guys as possible. Last year we used it for the desparation Leal OV and for Nana Osafa-Mensah, which was just a bad call by the staff. It's got a lot of potential to be a big event for us but only when done properly.

So it wasn't done properly with Leal, who'd already visited that spring above five times? 

Nana, a cathlolic school kid, might have been going to Notre Dame regardless 

This feels like stretching it a bit

That was a guy who wanted a small-town vibe and another who grew up hyper-Catholic. Should have done more groundwork there (hi Giles!), but the Cali kids probably won't have those issues.

The Leal visit was more of a throwaway. We were desperate and the concert was a hail mary. I don't think there was much we could have done there. The doing it properly part more applied to Nana. He's more of a serious type and I've heard he didn't like it all that much. 

In regards to the first visit part of my comment, I'm just kind of following the line of thinking Herman has shared. He talks about how gameday visits are hard because it's less time to spend with a kid so I assume similar logic would apply for a music festival. But then again, maybe JMBLYA is a way in that kicks off a relationship they can build on afterward.

All I'm saying is that it has the potential to be something really unique that we do for some of our top guys each year, like the pool party we do in the summer. Year 1 it didn't yield results.

I'm hoping the Duncanville group shows up.  They all visited about a month ago and nobody knew about it until they were already on campus.

Thompson Jr is at Auburn this weekend. Not sure about Jackson.

I forgot that those were the only two recruits in attendance last year

Hey man, all I said is that it can be a double edged sword. That implies it can be good and bad. I'm not saying it's terrible, just that it isn't some golden ticket for every recruit.

Since you mentioned it, I looked up who else was visiting that weekend and according to 247 it was Leal, NaNa, Tyler Johnson, Derek Stingley Jr., Brayden Liebrock, and Makiya Tongue. Johnson and Liebrock did commit within several weeks so it probably helped close them.

I think it's about reading the room with who you bring. Not a great weekend for the kids who want a country vibe or are hardcore Team Jesus. Hopefully the staff learned their lesson.
