Usually this goes the other way. Good for him and glad he is part of the class.

Holy cow that would've been a huge blow. The staff are very high on this kid's prospects.

Good for him. Wonder if there's anyone else were waiting to make official.

So what happens when you sign an LOI but don't get admitted? Free choice of any other school with no ramifications? Bo Wallace last year, right?

ACCORDING TO LOY ---there were NO ISSUES and Some just received acceptance a little earlier than others

Good to know. Would have been just our luck to have a class with no decommits and then lose 2 safeties to admissions.

Just wanted to give Jalen some recognition for taking a massive leap this year. What an incredible turnaround from a season ago.

Props to Todd Lyght for recognizing his potential several years ago and to Terry Joseph for unlocking that potential this season.

Good call. Him and Gilman have been balling out, Elliott is making a lot less mistakes than last year AND he's making impact plays in the passing game.

It's hard to know what really goes on behind the scenes, but props to Terry Joseph for the step up in consistency/production from the safety position.

Yeah, I have no idea who to credit but Elliot is by far exceeding my expectations.

What a hell of a surprise after last year to have Gilman be as advertised and Elliot to just show up all of a sudden.

Really good game for him. I've been critical in the past because of a few bad plays, but looks to be getting better and making the most of things.

Jalen has definitely improved immensely from last year. And I think having Gilman back there as a steady force has really helped him.

Saying that there is still a lot of room for Jalen to improve the remainder of this year and into next year. He can sure up his tackling a bit. And over time his already good ball skills could turn into elite ball skills.

Agreed with everything that's been said. Remarkable jump in production and has all the tools to continue growing into the position.

If he can shore up his missed tackles and continue on his current path in regards to tracking the ball, he could be playing snaps on Sundays. Not trying to get ahead of myself but he's playing very well.

He baited the QB into throwing in the end zone and if it was catchable, he would've come down with it. Nearly one-handed another one.

Player development. There is nothing I enjoy more than committed players that get better over time. It’s what college programs are supposed to be about. When you get a group of good coaches and bought in players, this is what you get.

Congrats Jalen!

Someone mentioned it another thread and I thought Jalen deserved a thread bump.

Should be voted most improved player from last year. Also, he sent a video message to Coach Kelly telling him congrats on Coach of the Year awards.

Elliot is rising up my list of favorite players.

Yup. 4th in Ts, first in INTs.
I'll be honest, thought he would get jumped by one of the young guys.
Both Jalen and Amsmar proved me wrong this year.
