I don't think so I think ari was talking about at Bulldawg Camp this summer.Quote:

Marcus Johnson is the connection. He was recruiting him while at Duke.Quote:

thanks for bringing that memory. who knows, maybe Marcus has a grudge against tsun. I would like to see a video of him on the practice field.Quote:

Like I have said OL is a recruiting club that’s in my bag but I don’t hit it very well.
There are some big boys after this kid. Would love to close him this weekend but not holding my breath ..
but yeah Coach MJ doing work .. Practice is night and day compared to fat ****. Ask any player they will tell ya .
And no this is not the news I’m waiting On to post.
I think we get commits from Emerson and Pruitt this weekend
And wouldn’t be shocked if the big OL from Pa., Hubbard gets in the boat.
still not understanding the Hubbard planQuote:

my concern is why doesn't he have a Penn State or Pitt offer?Quote:

Good point, we need at least 5 OL in this class. They've got to come from somewhere. Not a great year in state for OL and we've already flipped the best one from Miami.Quote:

I'm just wondering if anybody had any inside info on the guy that's causing our staff to be showing this much love for him this early on.Quote:

I know there is some worry from Oxford that Ealy May flip to Bama. Well they might want to worry more about him flipping To MooU
Nice, Ari. Not surprising, considering their last decent back was Brandon Bolden....Quote:

Maybe but it's just too early to say this.Quote:

Is he not draft eligible for the 2018 draft in 43 days?Quote:

People are getting WAY ahead of themselves on his draft status. He's a Mississippi high schoo position player and that demographic is pretty bad historically.
He'll have to earn it this Summer
The high school football commits are completing their junior year in about 4 weeks. They can sign in the middle of their senior year, in December. So they are the graduating class of 2019. The baseball draft will draft a kid in the summer after their senior year. So Ealy won't be drafted until the summer of 2019.Quote:

They have money and they use it accordingly. I.E. they cheat.Quote:

Oklahoma doesn't have that. Midwest is void of a lot of really good athletes. Their ability to elevate themselves and recruit out of state is impressive.Quote:

There is something to be said for playing a schedule that only requires you to get up for 2-3 games a year.
People see that he is number one after his sophomore year on PG and don't understand that there will be a lot of guys developing and growing over that course of 2-3 years. For example, I remember Luke Alexander was I think in the top 10 of his class at one time on PG when he was in 8th or 9th grade and people were telling me that he would never make it to campus. A lot happens over the course of a few years with high school players that are growing and developing at different rates.Quote:
