This guy hasn't been to campus and has de-committed from one school already and they take his commitment? DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A COMMENT THAT IS FINDING FAULT IN THE COACHING STAFF!!! I REPEAT, NOT TRYING TO FIND FAULT!!! JUST AN OBSERVATION!!! Could just be gut-feel by our coaches, or maybe the coaches had or hadn't talked to the parents already. Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I agree with you. When you compare the situations it is odd, I was just pointing out that we don't know much about either situation and the coaches can't comment on it. It could be as easy as them having another QB higher on the board. Or maybe the coaches didn't know Thompson was committing... though they are recognizing it on Twitter Edit: meant to quote @StPaulHusker Quote Link to comment

Pure speculation on my part here. My guess is they really want Thompkins and they weren't as high on the Alabama QB. Again, speculation on my part. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'd imagine they would feel like they're limiting themselves by accepting a commitment from a guy so early in the process. 1 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post swmohusker Posted June 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2018 Coach Reggie Davis: It is tough to get complete backs to commit to DONU. Coach Held: Hold my beer! Dude is doing work. Completely changing that RB room in a hurry. Lots of speed and versatility seen from the guys they have targetted. Looks like Frost and Co. are serious about wanting to be able to run the football. 24 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I would think there would be reasons to handle a potential 2020 commit a lot differently than a potential 2019 commit. One of them still has 20 months left. 9 minutes ago, swmohusker said: Coach Reggie Davis: It is tough to get complete backs to commit to DONU. What's the actual quote from Davis?

Which is cool, but at the college level you need to get athletes and you need to get them on the field in a hurry. Quote Link to comment

I would think lots of high school running backs aren't good at it yet. Especially if they're a great back and the team doesn't have to pass a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment

They didn't do too bad in other areas of recruiting. I do believe Bo said something to the fact that it was difficult, though. Quote Link to comment
