'13 TX DE/OLB Deon Hollins Jr. (UCLA Soft Verbal)

[IrishEyesAreSmiling]

I think he'd do wonders in our defensive scheme

 

[Domina Nostra]

Based on our depth chart, the Keith Arnold article, and the fact that we are pursuing him so hard, I'd be suprised if he or doesn't start out as an ILB.

It's either Hollins or Randolph.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think thats the only thing holding him back is the position part of the equations. However, during AA week a writer I can't recall right now said that he though Randolph would be better suited for ILB in our scheme vs. OLB. When I read that it definitely stuck with me.

 

[Luckylucci]

Haven't followed II much today so just read through some of their recent threads. In the Kelly visiting Texas thread Sampson says that the staff likes Hollins a lot. Which we kind of already know just another source confirming it. Something we also know but he states it really well is that we most likely close with two more guys. The staff wants it to be one from Texas and one from Cali. Hollins/Prevot and Vanderdoes/Fitts. Again nothing new, just perspective.

I don't believe anything a recruit's father says to a random fan on twitter.

 

[ShawneeIrish]

What is the ND alumni base in Houston like? If his dad is asking about UCLA alumni there this may be something he considers very important and maybe something BK could sell him on.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

There seems to be a complete combining of reality and fiction this year; reality of programs and recruits doing their job, and fans living their fantasy lives. None of any kind of stuff means anything, from dad's tweets to alumni associations.


The next step: our alumni association rumbles theirs for a given recruit from that town . . .

This is why so many schools are dirty. It isn't even the programs. It is the fan-base willing to walk all over each other and skull#### anyone for the acceptance of their fantasy recruit.

If they even let him get a shot.

Sounds like he is pretty committed to UCLA.

It's not a guaranteed visit tonight?

Not according to that ISD update above. UCLA may get in before hand and remove our chance.

I wouldn't count on that tonight.

I wouldn't count on that tonight.

I would count on it within another day or two. Looking good for Hollins.

Poster on II (docwcm) said he heard from a very good source this afternoon that we will get Hollins. Pete Sampson (Editor at II) then chimed in and stated he wouldn't be surprised if he is proven right tomorrow.

There's some good news for you Arrowryan!

That's sure better than maybe not even getting in the door! But who knows how well this UCLA in home is going to go?

 

[Big23Head]

His dad has been very pro UCLA again today on twitter, but with recruiting today...who knows...

I'm going to say it...it moved.

With Tate the great possibly getting a medical shirt, I wouldn't mind taking Hollins and Tordney.
