Okay. I looked earlier today and it wasn't showing him committed to us on his page, nor was he listed on our page. Unless, I have finally lost my mind. Hmmmm.

@UNTLifer you're not losing your mind! It was not showing as committed when I originally posted that link.

Honestly, I thought you meant you could not find his 247 profile.

All good now, though.

So when we sign a "athlete " what does that actually mean? We are not sure where he will play? It would seem if you are building a team you want to get the pieces for your plan?

UNTLifer · July 18, 2023

He has one of my favorite highlight videos. How many of these young men start off their videos with two plays where they are blocking? I think that is telling that he probably doesn't have a huge ego and is willing to do whatever it takes to win. Micho was probably the best athlete on his HS team and played everywhere on both sides of the ball.

I think he could be a sleeper in this class.

The athlete designation is given by the recruiting services. Not by our coaching staff. He’s going to play linebacker here.

A lot of times the “athlete” designation is given when a player is going to play a different position in college than what he played in HS, or he plays multiple positions in HS that he could potentially project to in college.

For example, with a high school QB who projects as a receiver, that player is most likely going to be classified as an athlete because it is hard to rank that player amongst receivers who are actually playing receiver in high school. Hard to call a high school QB “the number 8 receiver in the country” when he has never caught a single pass in high school due to playing QB, for example.

I like how they still rank Athletes, though. lol
