Ran into him today at Longs bookstore after the spring game. Really nice, polite kid. He was scoring some OSU gear. Said he really likes it up here.

The emotional commitments typically don’t stick. We’ll see if these do.

Wishing the young man all the best. Has to be a tough pull between where he’s from and where he is. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about OSU recruiting is that they practically always upgrade with the next kid when a kid decommits at any position.

How many high schools is that now? Three, four? Fortunately his reputation should precede him and he’ll have an easy adjustment. I moved around a lot and hated always being the new kid. Making new friends, figuring out who was real vs phony, guys wanting to fight just to show off for girls, etc.

Don’t worry we’re not gonna “me too” you on here lol We know what you meant.

When they weren’t getting their jerseys ripped off or tackled by the Chiefs tackles. All they missed holding calls made me sick in the second half. But not as much as having to see Taylor swift every five minutes.

Better now than early signing day. Now he can focus on the Ohio RBs and chase the ones in Texas and California later.

Now all I can think about is how sweet that would be if NCAA football did live player intros like in his video

I’m gonna REALLY go out on a limb here and predict that the staff has accepted his commitment but he’s holding off on announcing till tomorrow so Kirks gets his shine today. Edit: wait was I supposed to use the sarcasm font? lol

Is it illegal to maintain relationships with other staffs? I don’t think it is. He just said they supported him emotionally as he struggled at Bama. The NCAA would really be throwing poop at the wall and trying too hard to flex if they made something out of that. It’s not like he was gonna go...

I was at OSU same time as his dad and Dorian Brew’s mom (Donica Merriman). Makes me feel like ‍ an old man lol Especially when my daughter calls me old and she’s a year ahead of these guys lol

He fills the hole with the instincts of a LB and plays the ball like he’s the receiver. Can’t ask for more than that from your free safety. I’m glad the staff got on him with a year left until signing day. He reminds me of how Koi Perich looked in the AA game.

I can’t believe my eyes…all the chatter about him looking at apartments in Athens today and then this…I’m in shock yet excited.

Did anybody ever get a beat on why he was never interested in Ohio State?

Yeah I don’t think it’s a coincidence he’s committing on his mom’s birthday, like Aaron Scott committing on his dad’s birthday knowing he’s a big OSU fan. And just two weeks after Sanchez.
