Might be a case that since he's 24 that he hasn't had a chance to go to camps to get exposure to bigger programs. Gibbs didn't blow up and get bigger offers until his senior year
 
Nope. No MAC.

just hit me this kid is just one yr older than my oldest. she's class of 25'.

damn. im old.
 
Kind of scares me when we sign an “athlete”. Will we actually put him in a position to use that ability, or will he just end up a special teams guy? Sounds like his leaning is towards RB.

He is in the 10th grade. He could stay like he is or add 4” and 50 pounds. Wayyyyy too early to slot him for a position.

I don't understand what you mean by that. But, at a minimum, it comes across as a slight to a young man who doesn't deserve your disdain. Why would you say something like that. He's in the 10th grade and our staff think he'll be a superstar by the time he signs the LOI to come here.

I don't think you are knowledgeable enough to even comment on this.

I apologize in advance for being so blunt but what the hell are you thinking. Do you really think LSU or OSU or USC or Oregon are going to offer this kid 2 years before he graduates? No, the reason he has so many small school offers this early is because he shows signs of maturing into a stud and they want to play the "we loved you before anyone else did" card.

The very idea that I have to explain why we offer kids like this so soon before they graduate tells me that you don't know jack shit about recruiting. But carry on making assessments of kids based on their offer sheet 2 years before they graduate HS.

im just overly cynical at this point. and dont trust a damn thing the coaching staff is doing.

my cynicism is on me and i should probably just not comment much or at all until the coaching change is made.

I get it - we all have the same concern. But when we offer a young man, I think we should defer to the staff evaluation of the young man.

Right or wrong, its the right thing to do.
