Did he de-commit?

 

[StillTbonewannabe]

He is just decided to take some official visits since Sirmon was his primary recruiter.

Sort of concerning that we are now down to 10 high school recruits, 9 if Oliver has decommitted.

ETA: After doing a little math on the classes, it appears we can afford to have a small freshman class, looking at averages. The recruitniks could already be saying this, I have no idea, I don't keep up. And assuming we redshirt a few JUCOs, overall the classes may balance out, with the except of the senior class, which by all metrics is small. There again, having a bunch of seniors sure did not help us this past year.

I still wish we had another battle ready offensive lineman or two, besides Rankin and Jenkins. We will only have 15 total on the roster if things continue on the way they are now.

Could potentially wind up with Sirmon at Louisville. Pretty sure Louisville was originally his front runner before he committed to us.

Not trying to bash him, but he's a lot like CJ Avery. Big HS safety that will play LB in college. I don't think he's big enough to be a 3-4 OLB. Maybe he'll turn into a different person once on campus like McKinney, but 6' 215-220lb LBs don't work in a 3-4. I'm looking at you JT Gray.

Put Hevesey on him STAT.

Fred Akines part deux.

Rosebowl says Kaleb Oliver told him he is still committed to State.

Where was the info coming from?

From a story on Rivals.He said he was committed to State but now open to other schools.[FONT=Merriweather, georgia, serif]

I'll trade K. Oliver and Peter Sirmon for Todd Grantham everyday and twice on sunday!

 

[TheStateUofMS]

So he has a reservation?*

Better yet: Tag team with Sallach.

I thought Oliver was in the 6-2 6-3 range? He looks rangy to me. Unless I'm thinking of someone else.


ETA: No, I was thinking of Oliver. He is big and rangy and looked to have good closing speed. Made a nice play in coverage. Good tackler and looked like a head hunter. He looks like he projects as a safety to me by looking at the 2 minutes of film I just watched on Hudl.

There's a few lineman we're going to take. Doesn't look like any rated higher than a 3 star though. Your classic Heavsy lineman croot. You know what I'm talking about.

Conner Estes is one who's committed to La Tech (I think) we probably will take at the end.

 

[BruceBruce]

He was named his regions most valuable defensive player this year, and he plays alongside the #1 ranked safety in the country. So he can obviously play.
