'18 ATH Antonio Gage (Dallas Madison)

This sounds to me like a kid who can't get test score or gps he needs so he's "keeping options open"

He deleted the post about his commitment date. I don't know if it makes you look good or bad to seek out coaches the way he has. It seems like it would rub the coaches that have already offered the wrong way. I'm wondering if he had a bunch of offers dry up and that's why he is scrambling. If you have offers from Tech, Colorado, and Utah, you typically don't seek out the receivers coach from SFA.

I'm guessing offers like CU, Utah have dried up.. I have no idea but just a gut feeling.. 

Tech I have no idea if they would move on from a kid like Gage, but I would like to think UNT stays in contact with him for him to recommit again.. @TheReal_jayD do you know if we are still recruiting or has this ship sailed?

My question is if that's true.. do we think UNT leaves a scholarship open for him? Sign and fingers crossed he makes it? Blue-shirt (thought it wasn't allowed now?)

Is he really that good?

I don't have a concrete answer but I would say that ship has sailed. I am thinking grades are a problem. I'm not sure how many offers of his still stand.

You would think a dude that is sitting on a dozen scholarship offers (re: a paid college education) would pull his head out of his rear if grades were actually the issue.
I hope he gets his grades/test scores up to qualifying, and our offer is still there, because he's a player.

Thanks for the insight

Still not committed anywhere, and he's not getting any big offers (I think he picked up a NMSU offer after decommitting) despite a pretty nice year so far.

Gotta be grades/test scores.

Still hoping he can get his grades/test scores up to par & if so, we're still there with an offer.

I would bet our offer isn't good any more.  This young man, unfortunately, is too caught up in the recruiting game and probably isn't hitting the books like he should.

Decides to go JUCO. I guess y'all were probably right about him not keeping his academic house in order. Damn shame.

Sounds like he needs to "book" harder.

[southsideguy]

If he is that good he will have trouble with grades at Ohio State or UNC.

[Green92]

This guy gave me bad vibes for a long time. I wish him well but grow up and go to class.

Hope we stay on him & he can get it figured out at Blinn or TJC.

[TreeFiddy]

Damn, he still can't decide.  A playa to the end.

[techdawg88]

should've gone to Trinity Valley

[BTG_Fan1]

Gage is this cycles Raveon Hoston?

[UNTLifer]

I kind of feel sorry for the young man. He needs someone to sit him down and give him some direction.

Hopefully getting away from home & under the wing of a good coach in JUCO will do that for him.

Or he is going to worry about who is recruiting him and not get eligible for D-1.
