GREAT news this afternoon

[Toxik76]

We really worked some MAJOR OT this past week getting offers out and touching base with out of state guys & found one we believe to be a MAJOR diamond in the rough, not hardly ANY attention yet, but his film is so impressive, best I've seen since Dareus, much faster seriously, a little lighter as well, but power is comparable, and his other offers are Arizona, Kansas, & SMU, so as soon as we offered we shot up to the top of his list and we will get a commitment soon. Just as good sideline to sideline on film as Clowney from last year, video is so grainy though LoL since it's a small high school.

His name is Donald Hopkins from Lago Vista HS in Texas, his measureables are 6'3 270, much larger frame. An opposing HS coach was reviewing video who knows Coach Davis & sent him the video & as soon as he saw it he showed it too Coach Saban & Saban called him that same afternoon, that tells you how impressive this kid is.

Also got great news from Gunner Kiel, it looks as if he will be our QB prospect in this class, strange how Jameis Winston's recruitment has sort of become much more shady lately (preaches for months about playing baseball and visiting baseball coaches, then all of a sudden takes a trip to a program with a nonexistent bball program in Ohio St and a program whose department is stqring down major sanctions, and says it's the best, he's so impressed blah blah blah, when I KNOW Bama and FSU have better facilities etc.) and we've invited him for visits a few more times like he said he weanted and he hasn't contacted or set up any more dates when he has been to FSU like 4 times in the past 2 months so I woul;dn't count him totally out, but Gunner is higher on the board as well, also Gunner coming gives us a HUGE leg up on Dorial Green-Beckham since they are really good friends

Good news.

How can a kid from Texas with that much talent only have one in state offer and that is SMU?

  Good post by the way.

Good question, but Texas is huge with over 1700 high schools. I can see how one guy, maybe more, might be missed by the recruiters.

You gotta love a QB with the name "Gunner". Great post Toxik

that type of Frame being compared to Dareus, sounds so awfully great. I hope he commits and stays committed. RTR!

Great read for a slow holiday weekend.  Thanks.

Out here in Tx, there are so many athletes some could get overlooked.  We had a OL guy who was getting very little looks from Tx schools.  He was told we would take you if the other guy doesn't commit.  He ended up going to KSU and was the first freshman to start on the OL for KSU.  He also was on the Saints roster when they won the Super Bowl.

Make sure CNS knows about those "overlooked " players.
