Somewhat off topic, but Strong and Texas don't seem to be having the recruiting bump that is usual when a new coach comes in. Maybe they will make their hay next cycle.

They've lost more than they've gained, and a ton of their commits are slipping out for last-minute OVs elsewhere.

 

[ResLife Hero]

you are def right, but i think the reason being is that he was coming from louisville...franklin was coming from the SEC, sark--well usc is usc...same thing w/ peterson--he was coming from boise and he hasn't made a splash either

Peterson might have stolen Baker from Oregon, but otherwise, dead on.

This @247blake must be the tool that said it was 99.9% done deal, right?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

This is like a party that's winding down. BK found someone to take home with him. Strong is at the same party, but hasn't found anyone. He's now running around talking to all the chicks (Hill, Yeargan, etc.) out of desperation. The girls see the desperation in his eyes and they don't want any part of it.

Having said that, relax gents. He's not going to flip, especially with BK coming in to finalize things.

It always amazes me! How do you know all this stuff, man? I am amazed . . .

(laughing aloud)

Yup. Don't make a matter-of-fact prediction like that if you don't want the scorn. More people should follow the Jason Sapp model than the blind-homer-no-facts model.

Agreed. Did you get any responses?

Awesome. He can suck it.

Yo, Texas:

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Just spread some tiny reps around for everybody on this thread. Let me know if you didn't get any!

 

[#1rish]

Great news!

A little confused though, he a considered WDE or a LB? 247 and scout have him as a DE but rivals lists him as a ILB.

Pretty sure he was told SAM by BVG.

BVG told him that he's a LB. I could see him playing 3-4 CAT, 4-3 DE, and 4-3 SAM depending on how everything shakes out.

He's a good sport haha

I think the reason that he is so important to this class is that he can play strong side linebacker on a three linebacker configuration, and put his had in the dirt.

Everyone is so happy on the thread. I have a perfect story for you. It is about an IE poster, tweeting an asshat about a statement. The punchline is, "Thank God for that 0.01%, am I right?"

 

[Emcee77]

Haha. That Texas reporter may have been a little hasty, but Kolin did seem like he'd be gone to UT if he got that offer when he took that visit in December. But things change.

Honestly, there's kind of a dark side to this win ... I keep thinking how many prospects we missed out on by not offering earlier, just like Texas did here. Enoch Smith, off the top of my head, and countless others.

Damn now I feel kind of bad for retweeting your tweet.

Did that guy just call Lax a giant douche? T-'ouche, or T-douche. Short for Texas douche, and you know how they all brag about doing things bigger down there! WOAH!

What an experience for Hill. Went from being just another under-recruited 2 who couldn't get a fair hearing from any of the majors, to a high priority target for two of the biggest programs in the nation.

 

[SaltyND24]

JAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!

Yeah, but he's not here anymore. And looks like we are getting what we need.

Harry Hiestand should have been enough of an inspiration.

Actually started as a 2 star, believe it or not. What an ascension.

 

[Redbar]

Very impressed with this young man and his family. What I have heard about them makes me really appreciate the character instilled there. Commitment, loyalty, appreciation, accepting challenges, reciprocation, it all mean something. Fantastic talent and I hope in four years he goes in the first round, first overall, but whatever his future holds if he continues to develop into the man we see being formed right now, he will be a huge success. Bravo Kolin.

 

[Irish8248]

I will gladly hedge my interest in this.

100m to you if he sings with ND. 100m to me if he signs with Texas.

Game -- Blouses

kuehnja needs to put down his crystal ball. A lot of dough he's lost on Yeargin and Hill lol.
