We offered in April.  Since then he's also picked up offers from Louisville and Wake Forest among his other Power 5 offers.

 

Said recently that Nebraska is recruiting him the hardest.  Kentucky, Cincinnati, Arkansas and West Virginia also after him.

Another tall WR with good speed. Keep building up the WR unit like this and we have something going. Now bring in a second WR that is even bigger and just as athletic.

Honestly, when I watch his video, makes me think he might be a better cornerback/safety... In his video he utilizes his size to his advantage but he won't have that advantage in college. His quick feet I think might be better suited on the defense but again, i'm a novice football fan.

Victor is an example of great evaluation. Wait until Duval and co. gets ahold of him. He's an elite athlete.

I’m not worried about Duval. I’m worried about developing our WRs so they can actually play in the games mentally

Whoa.  Didn't see this one coming.

Olympia has put out a lot of kids, (Chris Johnson, Trevor Siemian, Deandre Francios, Joe Milton off the top of my head) but they aren't a very good program.  I also believe Fabian Washington is still coaching over there, so that might be part of the connection here.

 

Don't know this kid, but I do know both his QB's, and they are both, let's be nice and say subpar.  So, perhaps there's some upside here.  

[Mavric]

This is moving pretty well, especially for someone on the taller side.

Every year this staff gets commitments that the message board journalists have no clue about. The Clouse and Mike Schaefer types are pretty useless for getting information under the Frost staff.

Um ... no.  The fact that 1-2 out of 23-24 are a surprise does not make everything else useless.

Did you just call yourself a message board journalist?
