Justin "battery" swatkins. Because he keeps going and going and going....(and he likes that charge)

There's another decommitment from this class that  has a high probability of flaming out.

And we are still waiting on Waddle

Who were the decommitments from this class? Watkins, Rondale Moore, the dude from Oklahoma, and ??? I've moved on and I don't remember.

[Bevo 13601]

I think he was talking about Tatum

DWA.  Did he ever make it to Tennessee?

DWA. TE that ended up at Tennessee.

DWA! How could I forget that guy? Good lord. 

Frankly, if you told me that any of Watkins, Tatum and DWA were going to be busts, I'd believe you. Tatum is dumber than a concrete cat and has family issues. Watkins we know about. DWA is not a brain surgeon. While Waddle was never a guy that Texas was in on, I expect him to bust at Bama due to his family hangers-on, him being soft, and him being tiny.

I think so but he didn't make it in on his initial enrollment date. Based on his recruitment process (especially on twitter) that should be a wild ride for Tennessee.

I find this so offensive. My concrete cat is way smarter than Tatum. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

I'm not sure if Herman is blowing smoke up everyone's ass but I hope he really is evaluating these type things. Something that's become obvious from following recruiting over the years is there are certainly attrition candidates you can avoid. 

I'm all for stacking talent but there's some recruits we should be avoiding. Talent doesn't mean shit if they don't stay in the program.

I would be shocked, SHOCKED, if a guy who engages in these kinds of antics flames out.

 Wasn’t he the one everybody was saying needs to get out of Florida? Yeah he probably should’ve done that...

He should have gone to OU. Would have been redshirted for the assault and battery, but wouldve been ready to go the next year. 

 

[Scholz 11959]

Let's see if Lincoln Riley carries on the long and proud OU tradition of taking wife beaters.

Jalen Redmond of OU is out for the 2018 season due to blood clots.

He was a stud recruit and was expected to contribute this year. It's a big deal.

[Machinator 32099]

I posted on the football board about it, but it's worth noting here, too. He's the second of their 2018 DL class to go down with injury (Michael Thompson tore his ACL).

Everything I'm reading on OU's defense tells me they are going to be a dumpster fire. 

Guys changing position, young players getting lots of reps, moving parts, injuries, and so on.

I have a feeling his commitment to the Florida State Pen will be extremely solid.

No, no, no, if he'd come here, he'd have sorted out all his problems. After all, we deserve it.

Perhaps this is all a big misunderstanding.

 What is this dude’s full name? And does he have some game tape? I think I’ve seen two videos of him and both times he’s going up against air.

He dropped the first & second balls that were thrown to him.

He only held onto the third one.
