T-Husker Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I guess the main reason I think this kid would be a good get is exactly what Zoogies said. That name is bombin! His parents knew what they were doing. Quote Link to comment
Redmusky Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 This kid says one thing does the other he states he is ready to shut things down.wants to commit and focus on his high school team. Names his top four Texas, Florida, Alabama and Missouri I am not big on traveling,but will try to visit Georgia and LSU, Will attend Texas on 27 seen Missouri play Navy and Texas twice. Cancelled trip to OU Diggs says, academics rank one and I have other factors in the mix.The only place he has visited is Texas why would you shut thing down? Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Word is that Texas wants him to try DB. Quote Link to comment

Watching Mizzou play Navy should have been enough to cross them off of his list. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Word is that Texas wants him to try DB. That could be a sticking-point. Rumor was that Burkhead was in a similar situation, had an "implied" offer from the horns but it wouldn't be as a rb. Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 UT won't offer him. They always sign to top rivals guys. Malcom will be their #1 guy because he's got the big size and they have had a lot of success with the big backs in their system (Reggi Williams, Cedric Benson, etc.) I think Mack Brown & Co. have no problem evaluating talent on their own. Assuming they just go down Rivals' list of Texas players 1-50 and make their offers lacks a basic understanding of both recruiting and how the rankings work. The best explanation I've seen has been from S. Mandel: "While Rivals' star-system isn't a definitive assessment of a recruit's talent, it's a pretty good indicator of how sought-after a certain prospect is." Because teams like Texas can almost have their pick of recruits - if Texas offers, the recruit imediately gets bumped up a notch in that "sought-after" measurement. Brown, Meyer, Kiffin & Saban will have a hard time not signing all 4+ star recruits for the simple fact that if the best teams in the country want you, you must be a solid prospect. It's logical, and to fault Rivals' for adding or weighting this component of their ranking would be an injustice to the recruits. If you're good, you're sought after...if you're not very good - you aren't. To say kids go unnoticed in today's world of you tube highlights, and streaming information is a stretch. It doesn't always work against us either. The same things happen when our coaches discover tallent. At the same time we uncover the "diamond in the rough" we generally alert Rivals to the prospect as well. Before you know it that diamond (Enunwa) becomes a "possible difference maker" and what was once a two-star risk, is a solid three-star early contributer. 1 Quote Link to comment

He is a high priority to them as a DB not a running back. Quote Link to comment
Redmusky Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 He wants to be a running back Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 He wants to be a running back If that is the case then he might have to look at other places besides Texas. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I would be willing to bet that they took him as an athlete and not a RB. Quote Link to comment
fro daddy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 E, I think your right. Everything that I heard and had read was they are taking him at DB/CB. Diggs is best friends a 2010 MU recruit and was supposed to visit during the spring game. The MU people had talked to him a lot and everything that was being said was TX wanted him as a CB. If they offered thats what it would be and if they offered he would be a TX lock. Heard he got a verbal offer 2 days ago and commited this morning. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I believe it. I heard that he was a high priority to them as a CB/DB as well. That may increase our chances with Franklin Shannon though Quote Link to comment

I think the koolaid might get to you. That's ok . . . I am probably more pessimistic than I should be. Quote Link to comment
