I really wish we could get him to cancel his Cal trip and visit this weekend.
Would be hard to do that. Free trip all inclusive is hard to say no to

UT pulled his scholly
Can anyone with a 247 subscription summarize the article written on the good impression we made on Moon??
Good visit, liked Sirmon, had a good time, but probably sticking with UFQuote:

What's more nerve-racking? Trying to get commits in the boat like this year or holding on to recruits like last year?
We've got a portion that is going to freak out either way. That's the sum mean of their existence on these boards...Quote:

Maybe he just used it as an excuse to have Bama athletics pay for his trip to Graceland.****Quote:

Im hearing that Marquez Callaway may not visit this weekend, it looks like he is about to commit to UT.
Fine by me save that visit money.Quote:

Yea his heart is set on UT. I agree though his future is at CB instead of WR.Quote:

Yep & a couple of the processed guys have started to speak out about it.Quote:

Basically when no one is trying to schedule you for an official visit, to the school that you are committed to, its a problem.
Is this what brings on the early signing period for football?Quote:

Not sure if he will take a visit, but my money says he does visit.

Are all these wr offers committable or are we keeping them warm? If warm, might be concerningQuote:
