'12 TX LB Dalton Santos (Texas Commit)

[BruinVol]

I'm not saying Texas offered him one, just that they could have given him a non-committable offer months ago.

True but they recruit in such a different way. They might not use that practice since they get so many early commits.

They gave him a Verbal offer Thursday or Friday. Will be an official this weekend.

Texas had a spot open up. Santos was their 3rd choice. He is ok with it.

Ah I see. That's kind of what worries me. He knew that he was down on their LB list and accepted that. Now all of a sudden they have room. Danny O'brien need to get on the phone with Santos.

just assume the only commitment a recruit can make is on NSD and it makes following it much easier

I do think we need an early signing period with some head coach out clause, but what is good for the goose is good for the gander. If a coach can revoke an offer, the kid can change his mind...and vice versa.

Yeah. Texas is a different animal when it comes to recruiting, especially in Texas and out West. I can't remember specifics, but the percentage of recruits who OV there and then sign with them is really, really high.

Sarcasm I hope I couldn't imagine this board if we knew nothing til signing day. Talk about a bunch of people jumping off bridges.

But schools retracting their offers is ok.

I didn't say that. It should be vice versa. Would make it a lot simpler.

What is the uphill part? Is his father pushing him away from Tennessee? Every quote I have seen has been Positive toward Tennessee and him sticking with his commitment. With the work that the coaches have put into his recruitment, it would be a major disappointment to have him back out last minute. It is what it is. I sure hope Derek Dooley closes well with this kid.

Texas had a spot open up. Offered Dalton Thursday or Friday. He then called Dooley. One can only assume what it was about. He said Texas is special to him and his family. Doesn't look good.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm mostly caught up now. It's still so late in the game though.

How do we know he is ok with being a backup plan? That will certainly be our selling point in counter acting Tex.

You don't know that.

Why worry? it is just recruiting. Can't let your mood swing based on an 18 year olds decision. Unless he ends up signing with USC....

I dunno. The guy I replied to tried to put some words in my mouth, so I was just clarifying that his post wasn't responsive to what I was saying.

Being from Austin, TX and knowing that state I think there's a high possibility that Dalton goes there. There are a lot of kids who grow up watching Texas football and wanting to go play for the Horns. The only thing that may keep him with us is the fact that we play in the SEC and that they might be late in the game. just my :twocents:

Texans are an odd bunch when it comes to Texas. it can get irritating pretty quickly.

He is visiting and contacted Dooley after Texas offered. It is was it is. Believe what you want.

You don't know that.

You don't know that he isn't.

 

[cncchris33]

If he bolts for Texas, you can't blame him anymore than you cam blame Aaron Craft for going to Ohio State.

However, it would really minimize the importance he really put on playing ball in the SEC.

Flirting?...they are already on second base!

How do you no he contacted CDD? You don't know all the facts you claim to know.

Hubbs has reported this.

didn't say know nothing but nothing is 100% from the school or the recruit. It's a business

 

[vol2013]

You don't know that he isn't.

But he is not claiming that he knows he isn't ok with it
