The Blue Board

He decomitted, we were then still recruiting him. Had him on an unofficial visit I believe and hammered out all the basketball issues and concerns he was supposedly facing. Multiple times he said Texas was leading and that's where he wanted to end up but he wanted to keep his options open because he felt he rushed his original commitment.

The knee injury has nothing to do with it, we have three or four commits who have season ending injuries that are 1 still have an offer and 2 are still committed.

We haven't been told any specifics other than the staff got a bad vibe from the recruitment and felt it was better for everyone to go their separate ways.

Would I like to have him in burnt orange? Hell yes, but if the staff felt something wasn't right and backed out of it then it is what it is. It's happened before and it'll probably happen again. I'm happy with other WR targets we are pursuing.

Of course not. Being an idiot on this site is a full time job for you. How about another teary goodbye thread where you bid adieu?

link please

it's not street agents, it's his aau coach, and that was the reason for the decommit in the first place.

i love the cut-and-run theory though, as if texas has never lost out on a recruit it pursued to the end.

does it matter why were not recruiting him now? point is were not recruiting him anymore whatever reason you think is your own. this pointless bickering is annoying. good luck to the parties still involved

"I don't know why, but it is what it is," Seals-Jones said. "I'm going to move forward, and they'll move forward, so I'll just find another school."

Chester said that Texas was still leading Ricky's list when the Longhorns dropped out of the race.

"I'll be honest with you," he said. "Texas was on top."

It is very unusual for a school to publicly distance themselves from a prized recruit. Especially when they lead. I remember something similar happening with Albert Means. Texas just stopped recruiting him.

no, we're saying the people around him are shady. his aau coach is shady as hell.

Link?

Why would it matter what offense LSU or aggy have? RSJ's best position is not WR.

That said, it sucks that Texas is no longer recruiting him, but Texas will be fine. It should be noted this isn't the 1st time Texas has pulled away from a 5 star kid for the state, and I think the past shows that when Texas does pull away not everything is right with the recruitment.

what part of that is incorrect?

everything he said was dead on accurate. when texas distances itself from a top flight recruit, there's something going on behind the scenes they aren't comfortable with. why else would we cut bait w/ a kid that talented?
