Breaking WR Commit

[TreeFiddy]

I was hoping this was going to turn out to be flipping Dhailon Philips from TxSt.  He good.

Saw this earlier but didn't wanna post it up if this kid wanted to keep it quiet

You were scared he didn't want people seeing his own tweet? JayD was keeping the commitment quiet. Not the offer.

Again, don't feel hesitant to post public information.

such a tease.

One other active FBS offer.

He told Vito we were recruiting him all year yet just offered. Smells like a fallback option.

so we complain that we are not out recruiting 3 star guys and settling for 2 stars.  So we go out and find a 3 star, offer, and then get commitment and we complain because its a fallback option?  It continues to amaze me the level some around here go to, just to complain about something.

Perhaps you missed that he has one other FBS offer from a non-passing team and was committed to Grambling.

It's a fallback option, and makes me think Bradley is indeed gone to Houston.

We don't even know if this is the right commit that the post was about.. LOL

Unless there is another 6'3" receiver out there, this is the cat.

If not, my apologies in advance.

Offers are what matter. Always have been. Where you been?

I've been right here listing to the same crap year after year, and using whatever formula one wants to use to make his point.

Stars matter when you have a class full of stars

Stars don't matter when you have a class full of no stars

Offers matter when you have a class full of kids with lots of offers

Offers don't matter when you have a class full of kids with little to no offers

Rankings matter when you are ranked high

Rankings don't matter when your not

 

All I'm pointing out is that while this kid may well indeed be a fallback player, the fact the we had a fallback option for our highest thought of player with a player that will be thought of as the 3 or 4th highest thought of player is a recruiting win.

Bradley wasn't our highest thought of player. He had an offer from UNT and Tulsa until Houston came in late. That's it.

I really like him, but am smart enough to know that is probably my prejudice showing through.

While I often times agree with your points, as true and painful as they are at times, who do you have as our top recruit even if bradley is included. He was the most excited player for me and I just noticed he is our highest ranking on 247. Take that for what it's worth. This does seem like a "fallback" but I'll take size and speed with this staff all day long. I feel like we can develop well enough, if we get the un-coachable (size and speed) attributes we can get more out of a player the most expect.

This is a forum about recruits, and a thread dedicated to a specific piece of recruiting news.

Stop turning it into a slap fight about a different school.

THIS. Thank you. We should be happy for this young man not arguing about another young man.

Let's just keep both of them.
