It's looking like I won't be able to go either. I'll let you know if anything changes though.

This video has nothing to do with recruiting but here is a video of Devrin talking about the matchup with Maryville tomorrow night.

I actually agree with Peter Post-alot on this one. From the sound of some people on this board if the kid isn't the next Devin Hester in the kick return game it will be a disappointment. Take him for what he is, an undersized shifty return specialist that ultimately got and offer because he was in the school's backyard and has good speed. Hopefully he'll do a lot to help the football team at some point, but overhyping him and placing unrealistic expectations on the kid will do nothing to help his cause of being accepted across the whole fanbase.

That's funny, because the same argument could be made for the people who are SO SURE that he is going to be a beast for us too. It goes both ways...it is all about perspective.

Oh no, for all of us who were crucified for questioning taking this kid...he better be an All American Specialist.

You have no clue what you are talking about. You truly do not.

Not sure, I will try to let you know if I find it. I would try 990AM, 99.1FM, 99.3FM, or 107.7FM. Those are the only ones I know of. SURELY to goodness it's on one of them. It SHOULD be on TV, IMO. I hope he goes off, he had a pretty good game against them last time. They should have fed him the rock more IMO. Problem is, they play at Maryville tonight. I can assure you the refs won't let him shine too much. Maryville is NOTORIOUS for having cheating refs at their home field. A playoff game at Maryville.... Don't be shocked if he busts an 80 yd run only to see hankys laying all over the field. I'm just saying...

Edit: Pretty sure the sports animal is having the game.... just an FYI. Thanks RR!
