I am simply amazed by the thought process of some here....
Blue's offer today has nothing to do with another recruit.
Most of you know, some people have offers and others have 'offers'......yet you get on here and create rumors and scare each other over nothing....

Unbelievable!
Here, I'll throw another scenario out for you.....maybe there is someone at Blue's school that is a junior or maybe even a soph... maybe we are trying to develop a relationship, with the coaches at the school, maybe Blue's the number 1 guy on our board after today!

This board is awesome!

I don't understand some of the sentiment here either. The guy was reclassified fairly recently and now holds offers from Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Colorado, and after today LSU.

Obviously, he impressed the coaches at the camp and was worthy enough to garner an offer.

Yes, I have a very hard time believing that Garrett Uekman and Trovon Reed have the same sheet of paper. And even if they do, it doesn't mean the same thing.

We can all refer back to Christine Michael last season.

At 5' 4" and 115 lbs, I don't think we can use him. Plus, he hasn't been 18 since 1941.

That's some funny shite right there...

The rant loves switching guys positions after Moffit gets a holt of em. Any chance Blue is an offer at athlete?

I have to think that Blue, having been re-classified from a 2011 to 2010, is nowhere near being eligible to play D1 next year.


That was my thought as well.

I was wondering this too, but where would you put him? KR/PR? Is he big enough to be a fullback? LBer? Saftey?


Also, is this us trying to pick up someone else like a younger brother/cousin or teammate?

I only asked because of the year we tried to make J. Addai a fullback. And I thought Les might redshirt and bulk Blue up to have Blue at FB after Allen leaves so we don't have another year where we have a question at FB. Just a thought.

Maybe we only take one back this year: Lache, Storm gets bussed for being vocal, and Blue is placed in Hargrave and comes in as a big back in two years.

Sounds like Storm is a silent commit. Don't know what's up with this Blue guy.

Yah, that really convinced me. Other then Nutt's ability to produce gem's, nothing on that list is amazing.

He's a real good looking kid. Taller than normal running backs. He didn't have the quickest feet compared to the other RB's there, but he has great gear change and coordination.

Maximus, why don't you pull your head out and acknowledge that these are 2 Big XII schools and 2 SEC schools. From my point of view they are all 4 from the 2 best conferences in the nation. Also, Texas A&M may pull in the best offensive line haul in the nation this year with the addition of Jake Matthews. You don't think A&M wants an elite back to run behind them? A&M's other runningback offers are to D.J. Jones and Dontae Williams. Jones' had statistics in 2008 that will make you do a double take. Williams' just impressed at a USC camp. Why won't you have faith in Miles and his coaching staff after their evaluation at their own camp? The sense of entitlement from some on this board is getting ridiculous.

I live in the Houston area and people tell me that dontae williams (loston's teammate) is really good. I am surprised that blue got the
offer over him.

any thoughts why?

He is the second back on the board, behind Lache.

That is the deal with him. LSU wants him BAD.
