Can't catch a big fish if you're not fishing for them.

Very true. However, the difficulty in catching a 50 pound fish with 10 pound line is real. Definitely worth a try though.

What’s the worse that could happen, someone said “no”

At least the effort is being made vs the previous regime

Walden got one big fish in Martavious Collins.

Big time get. Wonder if he plays or Walden is like Dimel and refuses to play first year players.

I wonder if he pulls a Hamilton. There’s gonna be a lot of voices and money in his ears.

I'm assuming he couldn't qualify academically at Bama and Auburn. I have no idea though. Hope you're wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Well, he's probably a military kid (being at andress) heading to west point. Odds are.....

Other offers? Meh....

A FEW may transfer out. MOST will probably become lifers

Not a military kid. He's super smart and athletic for a big kid. Unfortunately didn't get a lot of looks because he was on a pretty bad Andress team but he's got crazy upside. I don't think he was every offered by UTEP. Very hard worker as well and determined. Army got a good one.

There are only 2 true freshman players I can remember since Nord on forward where the coach and reporting media were like “Wow!”, “This guy is special (player)!”, “will be put in starting rotation” and made in immediate impact from day 1 at fall camp and on the field and that was Quintin Demps and AJ. Both top NFL players.

Even if you don't get them the first time around , if these players are looking to transfer after one or two years we might be at the top of their list

I wholeheartedly agree. Which is why I mention that it is worth a try.

Well Vittatoe was a 4 year starter and he put up quality numbers the whole way. Another I’d say was Braxton Amy. I remember he was exciting and had a lot of hype and then he just got injured all the time.

Has the thumbs down thing been figured out yet? What's that about?

Yes it has and if not who cares. It's not even a big deal.

This reply earns both a thumbs down and a middle finger up.

And then a forehead smack

It's a DB thing. If they shut down a pass, they'll do the thumbs down

His stats are 🤢🤢. He has been in school for 6 years. Not impressed with the last 2 commits.

Hopkins was a 3 star out of HS and he has experience. He's a good get. You have to remember there's 85 scholarship players and some will be backups. Green will be a nickel or dime corner.

 

[FiliUTEP]

Any guesses?? I'm thinking it's the guy that visited from Cincinnati.

 

[jdubb66]

Amazing how many players are hitting these coaches up and asking for a looksee.
