Tyrone Sampson

Looks like he didn’t commit to anyone. 4* Army All American. What gives?

 

[HotMop]

Doesn't look like we gave him an offer.

 

[Bucksnort_Dawg]

Must be something behind the scenes we don’t know about. On the surface he looks like the guy for us. That said, I have full faith in our staff.

He’s got to have some felonies or something in the works. Makes no sense that NOBODY took a 4* OL

I think he may be waiting on an offer from us. Interesting that he has offers from all of his "warm" schools except us and he hasn't signed anywhere yet.

247 has several CB's to us, though more are to Nebraska, and just as many to Western Michigan

Also his HS coach said another reason Sampson hasn’t signed quite yet is that other programs that were interested in Sampson decided to go the graduate transfer route to bring in help along the line.

Wonder if that is us? Seems like it would likely be, as we're the only school he is warm on that has not yet offered. And if it is us, I wonder who the GT targets are?

I do know that a GT OL was mentioned a couple months ago on 24/7 but don't know 'if' it will work out.

A GT OL is really NOT a real need while HS OL are a HUGE need. '18 looks good .. we lose only one starter from '17 and have a replacement with experience. BUT, we don't have the young OL needed on the team to replace those leaving in '18/'19. That's the problem.

From an article yesterday via The Detroit News:

Sampson, a member of The Detroit News Dream Team, played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl last month is San Antonio. He is ranked No. 4 on The News Blue Chip list and had narrowed his choice to Nebraska, Mississippi State and Arizona State, until other coaches came calling.


“It’s a case where he had a couple of schools come in real late so he won’t be able to visit until after the dead period, maybe next week,” East English Coach Rod Oden said.




Oden said West Virginia, Missouri and Illinois all joined the picture. Sampson had originally committed to Syracuse and planned to enroll early before de-committing in December.

Not sure how true, but heard via the Twitter that there was some sort of trouble with him during his Syracuse visit. It just seems strange that State wouldn’t pursue a 4 Star OL guy. Got to be some behind the scenes reason.

 

[Col. Forbin]

We had our in home and chose not to offer him.He will be waiting for a while because he won't be getting one from us.

Looks like based on name alone, that's worthy of an offer.
