Not getting pooka per Seth Dunlap

Per Seth Dunlap, WWL radio. @sethdunlap
First tweet:
Sources have told me that Hahnville star running back Anthony "Pooka" Williams @laapookaaa will sign with @KU_Football tomorrow morning, after also receiving interest from @HuskerFBNation & @LSUfootball among others. Details inside
Follow up tweet:
LSU never sent Pooka any paperwork, so he didn't have the option of playing for the Tigers. This isn't on Pooka. Need to be clear about that. Also, LSU has had great success in early signing, and might have offered him if other guys fell through

no grades = no offer
it really is that simple....they won't take a risk with so many others that will qualify and that are just as good

Lol...ok.

I said the same thing in the 23rd Pooka thread
Posted on 12/21/17 at 10:37 pm to beardkp
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck why couldn't he just wait so we could make sure he made his grades? Why does he want to sign early?

Well, unless he didn’t get any paper because he didn’t have the grades to qualify?

I wonder how updates from Kansas will rank - L Scott to Trey Quinn level?

Good. Need the scholarship for better players.

Grades, grades, grades.....that was the concern for LSU, not his talent. Curry, Provens, Joiner? No doubt Pooka is a talent, but also a grade risk and more than likely JUCO. Good luck Pooka wherever you end up.

Isn’t he a grades risk?
Posted on 12/22/17 at 6:47 am to beardkp
LSU wanted Pooka but Pooka and his mother liked Kansas and what it had to offer. Bad grades was also a factor.

we just cant risk a spot on pooka. it sux, but its his own undoing. with the early signing period now in effect, kids better have their stuff in order. we're already at 18 and we NEED the people left in nola recruiting article that was linked yesterday. he's dynamic and would be a nice piece, but this isn't a fournette, Michael clayton, Marquise hill, Andrew whitworth type situation. hate to diminish his hs career, but he's not worth the risk as we crunch the numbers, imo.

We know.

LSU not taking Pooka
Posted on 12/22/17 at 8:22 am to beardkp
He doesnt have the grades.
Posted on 12/22/17 at 8:26 am to beardkp
Pooka is a gigantic grade risk. There’s no guarantee that he even qualifies for Kansas. LSU could not take the risk and miss on signing a running back
Posted on 12/22/17 at 9:04 am to beardkp
The kid is going JUCO wherever he signs.
Posted on 12/22/17 at 9:58 am to beardkp
Why were so many acting like he was a real possibility if he was a known grade risk?
