That's been the feel from the 9.95ers as of late. Basically, he could commit any second but don't expect that he ends up in the class.

Without knowing any of the details, hopefully he can pull his shit together and have a productive college career. It's a hell of a lot easier to provide a great life for your kid with a degree than without one.

1) I thought RGBIII's post about TFB meant he WOULD end up in the class, if Texas took him.  

2) Outside of his commitment issues and the drama related to that, does he have off the field issues?  (Handlers/$$/grades?)  If he does not, why wouldn't Texas take him at some point, if he made a credible commitment?

3)  Purely from a football standpoint, is he a clear take?

1) Right. He wants in, don't expect the staff to take his commitment is how I interpreted that. 

2) If Texas is waffling on whether he's a take or not proves out that he does have off-field issues, imo. Because, see #3.

3) Yes.

Possible.

- I interpreted it as a statement not about commitment, but about whether he would actually end up in the class or not. 

- So, ignoring commitment/"accepting" commitment, I took their statement to mean a) he wants to be in the class b)  at signing time, if he's not in the class, it's because we've said no.

We'll see ....

I fundamentally don't understand how what you're saying is different than what he said more succinctly

Posted (edited)

He has off the field issues, he is clearly a take on talent, the staff is holding off on accepting his commitment but I have heard that is because they dont want another public decommit in addition to his off the field stuff (it isnt a legal issue) so they are just waiting till further along in the year to allow him in.

What are the off field issues? Has our coaching stuff gone full Bill O'Brien because Quay Davis has a baby mama?

He's already publicly committed and decommitted twice. That's a big red flag for them already.

Expand  

I recall his two decommitments. He does seem like a "today's special" kind of recruit ala Jordan Elliott. I thought there was something more when off the field issues were mentioned like legal trouble or poor grades.

No one has ever mentioned anything specific that I’ve seen, but he had a kid at 17 and goes to skyline, so  some other red flags, like qualification concerns, wouldn’t be surprising.

It also doesn't really matter what they are. He's a talented kid with off the field issues. Knowing what those issues are won't give more insight into whether he comes to Texas or not, and speculating is just Surly board porn.

Jordan Elliott was a pain in the ass, but he also turned out to be a really good football player at Mizzou. I get being annoyed by guys like him, but I don't feel great about the idea of Herman turning away talent because they are annoying teenagers, especially when he's an annoying grown man.

We already took his commitment once, qualification concerns didn't stop it then. I guess maybe the grade situation technically could have drastically changed since then, but if there aren't any legal issues, I'd guess this is Herman being a stickler about a kid's indecisiveness again a la Noah Cain.

There is apparently data that suggests the college success rate of people who decommit multiple times during their recruitments is pretty low.

We also didn't kick out Elliott, he left to be with Brick.

Oh sweet a Bmore/DC recruit CB'd to Bama. I see great things for us in this recruitment.

Well to be fair, Elliott was at one time a silent commit to a Herman lead UH program. He must have fallen in love with Brick, but the results worked out well for him.

TFB thinks he ends up in the class

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we only take Brooks. This class is deep enough that I think our current depth could support reallocation of that spot in the class. A wr perhaps...maybe a pass rusher project...

Expand  

Considering at this time is very funny and sad. As of today I am hoping for more to be excited about at that position but perhaps Brooks turns out to hit a high ceiling.

He’s a top 3 WR in the state.  The rankings don’t do him justice because Skyline doesn’t have a QB that can throw.  He tears it up and dominates at all the camps and 7 on7 tournaments.  Bama and LSU would take his commitment, if that’s any indication of his talent.

Following this recruitment, he’s a 17 year old that may not have the right guidance or support to help him through the recruitment process.  He’s committed and de-committed twice.  He wants to commit to Texas but also still wants to take visits.  He also had a baby but that isn’t why Texas isn’t taking him.  Herman just doesn’t want to be dumped twice.  They will recruit him and take his commitment close to signing day from what it seems.  Being 17, he may also go to a visit to LSU and commit on the spot...

LSU has a pretty great crop of in-staters (Thomas, Hilton, Pazon) that their boards will be pretty familiar with. Fud has been banging the drum for offering all of them so we can get the ones LSU has to pass on for national talent, Pazon specifically who can FLY.

If you're LSU, you take any of the highly regarded national guys (Quay may be in this group), then fill the rest of your spots with in-staters. Boards always favor local products.

This is the kind of shit Hamm used to always post and you could always tell when it came directly from the kid or his circle. In the race? Texas hasn't even bothered to click the link to see what day the race would be on before closing the tab out of sheer apathy.

So Roach is joining IT now saying Texas is in a great spot for Landon Jackson?  Must be happening right?  Going to be funny to see which $9.95ers end up wrong on this one either IT and Roach or Perroni and Looch.
