'15 FL DE Marques Ford (FORMER UT commit)

[Lulu]

It appears the first phase of downsizing has begun

Seriously? I mean, I can't think of a couple other kids I would have downsized before Marques.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Wow. If we are turning aways these types of guys then you know your on the way back. I'm really suprised with how much his stock has risen and he has been very solid to TN.

Anyone know anything about his grades to know if he is a borderline qualifier maybe? I'm just suprised we chose him without a good reason

Making room for Richmond

If that ends up being true, it's why I concede I'd never be a good GM in baseball (trading promising prospects) or HC in college football (recruiting over early solid commits)...things that have to be done to win...but ugly and unsettling.

I don't like this at all. Unless it's grades, in which case you may resume regular programming.

 

[delfonic]

Kid had a scholly offer to West Point. I doubt grades were a concern.

The only good thing about this is that it means we are recruiting at a level that allows us to turn 4-star DL away.

This guy would have been a top 5 guy in a Dooley class

 

[gray0306]

maybe not such a good decision on his part...oh well...perhaps he saw how hard people are already working and really isn't ready himself.

 

[Nashvegas31]

So weird coming off the official visit and he had a great time. You would think we would have brought it up there. So I'm not sure what happened between now and then

Florida's gonna get a good one. I hear they've got plenty of room.

[Stark_Vol]

I'm going to reserve judgment and let Butch work, but this don't feel right... :ermm:

 

[Brianchevy]

at least the Dylan Jackson kid made the move himself .. insider info tells me that he's headed to Stanford, if he can qualify...

 

[BigVol80]

Buckle up gentlemen

Who else can we expect, heard any rumors?

I definitely did not see Ford being cut, WOW.

 

[Lulu]

Someone needs to make me feel better about this, stat. I need one of vol lady's xanax pills.

 

[dtboggs23]

Let go of Vickers or somebody...
