re: Eldridge Massington

I thought that they have only 2 decommits so far? Massington is the second decommit so far...Max Redfield was the other. All recruits are allowed to take visits so we'll see who sticks it out and who doesn't. Vanderdoes isn't going anywhere unless Coach O leaves. Ramsey is one recruit i'm nervous about especially if Tee Martin ends up going back to the south and Chris Hawkins seems to be wavering as well.

Massington decommitted because we did not have a spot for him as an Early Enrollee anymore. This was as amicable a parting of ways as could be, but Massington is upset because USC was his dream school (he said this in an interview less than two weeks ago). But he brought it upon himself.

The coaching staff was not happy when he went to the Vols camps this summer and blew out his knee. He was told to go support his teammate, but not workout at the camp (which he did).

He is also pushing his rehab, and from what I was told, this is a concern. Until we hear otherwise, he have to be spot-on with our selection of recruits. Unfortunately we cannot take a chance with questionable recruits.

Coach Marvin Sanders visited him earlier in the week at home, and this is when these discussions came about. I wish the kid well.

Vanderdoes I am iffy on now. The fact he is visiting Notre Dame last now (instead of USC) is a concern imo.

Ramsey and Hawkins are solid. Ramsey just visted, unofficially, for the Notre Dame game. He stayed at the Hawkins household, and now has "family" out there. He is also very close with Sua Cravens.

Once we get 5* Leon McQuay III this weekend, our secondary will look good in this recruiting class.
