Ahhh dang it!!

Are we recruting him for OLB or ILB? He seems on the short side for what we normally want in our OLB (I know that their are some exceptions). Thanks

I can think of a guy named Vincent Jackson who was a pretty good football player ... The beauty of Vincent 'Bo' Jackson should be remembered by this generation - The York Daily Record

Let's hope this guy turns out to be as good ... I like his tape. Not really explosive but a vicious mother, isn't he.

ND don't need any more ILBs for this class. They need the next relentless CAT linebacker type to follow up after Prince and Ishaq

Disregard this post. I see now he is a 2014 recruit not 2013.

AQM hasn't committed yet. Until you are committed you are uncommitted. Yea I know he is a silent committ suposedly, yes everything I heard leads me to believe he is ND. That being said you aint in till your in.

Then you won't be counting anyone until they EE or sign in Feb?

...then why not wait until they actually sign?

This kid looks like a beast. Love how he blocks on offense too. Seems like he loves hitting people

really likes ND, especially Alford who will visit him over the next couple weeks. Watched a lot of ND games this year, favorite player in the country has always been Manti.

Says his number one trait he's looking for is academic structure. He loves football but needs a place that will help him after football is over. Wants a "significant degree" and is also looking for a great family feel for both the team and school in general.

So when does he commit to us?

 

[clashmore_mike]

Ha, sadly not for a while, said he will not really get into recruiting much because he is young. He knows young kids change their mind all the time, and especially with recruiting. Says guys either go on visits or get visited then automatically have a new leader. He will try to take a more mature approach to it.

Yeah so to repeat Grey's question, when is he committing to us again?

Wow. And wow. Great offer list and this kid sounds great. I'm sold.

Isn't it kind of ironic that by saying he's young and kids his age aren't mature enough to make a college decision, he sounds mature enough to make a college decision?

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Kid looks like he will end up playing DE to me.

 

[ALLGATOR]

Different schools like him at diffident positions I think most colleges like him at TE. He through a big temper tantrum on twitter earlier in the year because Florida would not give him an offer.

Interesting. Wonder if that will have a Kyle Bosch effect. IIRC, everyone assumed we led for him because he grew up an Irish fan, but then we didn't give him an offer after he camped, which pissed him off and drove him right into scUM's arms.

I think he is one of those kids who would like to stay in state but the offer might not come from Florida FSU or Miami. I know he camped at USC and they do well in the Tampa area. He is also friends with Nelson A. One thing to watch out for in the Tampa area is USF now that they have Willie Tagart as their head coach.

 

[IrishLion]

I think USF could very well end up running the state of Florida if Taggart learns how to recruit with the big boys.

Following WKU, he's tremendous at finding those diamond-in-the-rough type players, and will turn one of his running backs into a star, no questions asked.

If he can hire a good defensive coaching staff and can recruit at home in Florida, USF will be back to the top shortly
