still can't believe we cooled on this kid

Thought it was more that we didn't have room for another DT.

He said we are out of it because we have a lot of young DT's and he wants to play as a freshman.

Because that sounds a lot better in an interview than "they told me they didn't have room."

Announcing his commitment tomorrow.

we really blew it here

[NM11046]

We blew it because we don't have a need at his position?

 

I understand wishing he was able to be a part of the team, but I can't agree with "WE blew it".

we blew it because we let an elite level player go when we had a DT signee battling academic/qualification issues as well as the fact that Bishop Dunne produces many high level FBS prospects on an annual basis and his recruitment would've assisted in landing our other targets in future classes from the school.

 

You can't ever have enough big time players on the defensive and offensive lines. Avery has the skill set and frame to develop into one of those special players. Prematurely "cooling" on him based off of your numbers in April is, in my opinion, blowing it. Especially when he seemed to be a heavy NU lean.

We're not taking a DT this year. Should they string the kid along?

Can we wait to see if Avery is any good in college before saying the coaches blew it?

That's not dramatic enough.
