Decarlos Nicholson. This kid will be the Chris Jones of this class. Remember I told you.
He played QB at Petal and was great, didnt work at MGCC but they moved him to CB in the spring. We will have to fight to keep him. Great get by the staff to jump on him early. He is 6?3 long and is a legit 4.4 on a slow time. It wont be long till Bama comes calling. He is an NFL CB.
Boy we are becoming CBU it seems.Quote:

I had him and Walley on the same team for awhile.
He actually ran a laser timed 4.3 at baylor.
Good stuff as usual commerce. Preshate it.
Dude, I'm jealousQuote:

And with him being the Chris Jones of the class, do you mean he will get “swag bags” from OM and sneak off up there late at night and bang “college” girls , yet still sign with State.?? **
I can give you a little insight into Decarlos as I've know him since he was 5 and coached him since he was 9. He's always been a State fan. His dad is HUGE Cowboys fan and they both love Dak. The Dak connection is huge here. He wants to stay in Mississippi and do something great in his home state(he always wanted to play at State but figured he would wind up at USM). There's no guarantees in recruiting, obviously, but Decarlos is solid as they come and I'll make sure I keep giving him my wonderful advice, ha(he's always told me I'm his all time favorite coach lol). Great kid and great family! Here's a funny little story about his mom. We were playing in the national championships in Atlanta. The kids were sitting in the hall at the hotel around 8pm,playing cards and some parents and coaches were out there with them just chatting.. Some old guy opens his door in his boxers and starts yelling at us to quit making so much noise(now there wasn't much noise mind you). Decarlos mom looks straight at this guy and says, "Really, sir, in your underwear?" and she never cracked a smile, guy turns around and goes right back in his room without saying another word. She can be a little intimidating, lol!
Thanks doe sharing! These are the kind of kids I pull for most! I believe these are the kind that leach is after as wellQuote:

Sounds like instead of a coach talking to the kid we need a PR/Marketing firm with a presentation of what we have lined up for him if he commits.Quote:

Honestly I never thought when I started that I would get the chance to coach so many talented kids. I worked my tail off recruiting every year though so it paid off. Now I'm just sitting back enjoying watching my youngest son play juco baseball and my oldest started his high school coaching journey this past spring. I can honestly say "It's been a good un".Quote:

Extremely intelligent kid but eats and sleeps baseball and just now realizing the importance of school. He did make the presidents list this spring though, so maybe he's figuring it out!Quote:
