Alonzo Winfield- Reconsidering Committment

tclowers23 · 12-14-2006, 09:55 AM

I think there was something posted about this in one of these threads, but Rivals.com just put an article up about it. Apparently, Winfield likes South Carolina a lot now. Maybe this is because of UT signing a couple high-profile LBs (Walker and hopefully Donald).

I don't like loosing recruits to anyone, especially to Spurrier, but I think it would work out for us in the long run. Only thing is, I believe he would make an excellent SS and I think that's gonna be his strong suit in the SEC.

This is one step towards us being able to "make the numbers work" with this class. If we ranked our recruits 1-23 at this point Winfield would certainly be 22 or 23. It just frees up a scholly for one of the players we will be landing in the next month.

and looks to be headed to SC.

**VolunteerHillbilly** · 12-14-2006, 11:58 AM

word is that he has officially decommitted. I started a new thread before I saw this one. oops

Good luck at SC. He'll get more playing time then he would have at UT.

Yeah, his father has comfirmed that he changed to South Carolina. This is a win-win situation. He would have struggled to find playing time at UT. He will be able to get on the field at USC. And, it helps UT because we can now use his scholly for a better player.

Other news, Joe Chiasson is struggling right now. We are officially out of the picture because we no longer have an offer for him. His only visit is to Arkansas and they have not even offered yet. I think he is going to have to end up settling on a lower level school.

nvm I was thinking of Kinne to Baylor

I thought all along he was a wasted scholly. His game film was 100% unimpressive.

Then he's a perfect match for SC.

If he turns out to be a stud, I'll be sad, though.

tclowers23 · 12-14-2006, 04:09 PM

He may end up being a stud at strong safety.

**hvwarrior58** · 12-14-2006, 04:33 PM

He may end up as a stud, I just don't see it. He doesn't have great size, nor speed. He isn't very physical, nor explosive, either.

Come on now. If he didn't have great size, speed, physicality, nor explosiveness, we wouldn't have recruited him in the first place.
