The older thread was anchored or something.

This is from poster ezrulz
quote:

How cheap are flights from dallas to br? I know its an eight hour drive. Fl St might solidify his commitment still, but Mario hasn't mentioned them for weeks. His dad had him at 16 and took custody when jr. was three months old. Mario, Sr. was a cb for the Cowboys and is a self-proclaimed football junkie, which is good. Maybe David Jenkins and Jalen Mills can get involved on this one. Don't know if his mom still lives in Pascagoula but his dad's from there so he may still have family there, which is less than 3 hrs from br. If we get the visit on Jan 20th, I think he'll be our signing day surprise.


He says he will announce his decision on signing day between FSU, LSU, and Texas.

Mario eliminated OU saying that he didn't like the players and soured on him after his december visit.
Texas fans remain confident and FSU fans are confident they will hold on to him.

LSU could be the surprise team here, charging up the board late in the process.

really interested to see his results from the UA practices. I know he is already pretty high on nearly every list, still would like to see him solidify a top spot.

I mean, if we get him..if not, we didnt want him anyway

It's a done deal if we get a visit. He would love playing in Chavis' scheme and he would get along with the coaches and players.

Mack Brown is a prick. And FSU isn't as desirable for him as most people think.

Nothing is ever a done deal in recruiting, and you will never know what is going on inside his head no matter how much money you pay for recruiting website memberships....

We could also have another crystal ball in our trophy case by the time he visits which would largely affect him

Was Miles still in Dallas when Sr. was drafted?

You guys seem confident that if he visits, he will be ours. Why so?

FSU people think there is no way in he'll he leaves them.

I think FSU has lost hin. If he is seriously considering Texas, then he obviously wants to be closer to home.

I always thought it was odd FSU reeled in him, Fowler and Casher. I think if they held those 3, it would be better than the Buckeyes

When they are now halfway across the country yes it is odd. Pretty sure Jr has lived his whole life in Texas

Right now I think its

Texas
FSU
LSU

If he visits we move up the list. I hope our commits can recruit him in the ua game. They are on the same team.

When he committed last spring, it seemed like more of an emotional decision than a practical one. I think he lived with his dad on campus while Mario, Sr was playing for the noles. So I'm sure he has early childhood memories of Tallahasee that are impossible to ignore. Part of the attraction of Fl St over the last two years has been a new young coaching staff who have recruited as well as anyone and the promise of being a BCS team every year. But starting out number 6 and finishing unranked will always affect some recruit[s] interest level because they lose trust in the coaches. FSU was a talented team that lost to several lesser teams this year and looked flat against ND in their bowl game. Mario is the #1 overall player in espnu rankins, so he probably wants to make a splash at the next level. Winning programs and their players get the accolades, and LSU is doing it better than anyone at the moment. I think Tx is our toughest competition in this one until further notice. Right now I like our chances.

Interesting. I would be so stoked with Mario Edwards Junior. Him and Landon would make this class epic.
