Offered back on May 18th. Didn't get a profile built.

Committed to Elko and WF in June.

When he was offered Panda wrote the following in the 2017 Master thread:

Maybe I'm dense... but is this an indication of Elko getting the DC job?

This is an... in case Elko gets the job, here's his version of Elijah Hicks he's got committed at WF. Just doing a little shopping in case something falls out of my cart on the way to checkout.

Well now that the staff needs another DB time to bring up Simon again.

Good video. Well spoken, liked WF because of IMG ties (to an internship). Have to keep an eye on him now.

I know Coach Elko told you he wasn't gonna be able to bring you along to the big show well... there's been a change in plans. . Keep your phone close.

I realize that Elko was being respectful to his past employer, by not recruiting previously committed players. However, it would be quite nice to have Troy in this class.

Could have been more than respectful. Might have been a condition of the release from contract. I know of a case in basketball this past season where it was included in the language. I have no idea if it was in this case but it's hard to believe Elko and Lea couldn't have pulled a Fleck and gutted the cupboards if they wanted to.

that's my guess because we didn't even sniff at them
