I’m not worried about Daniels... if he flips it would be to Texas AM no matter where Buck ends upQuote:

I agree. I do wish they had done this a month or so ago to give the kid more time to find another spot.Quote:

Targets appear to be: Alexander KSU transfer, Hunter, D. Smith, Barber, Cooper, Calvin Johnson, and 2 best available. Hopefully one of those 2 is a grad transfer DE-major need
He will be fine.. has until Feb if he needs itQuote:

Looks like we're on a UCF DE transfer. He just tweeted out #HailState. Randy Charlton, 3 star out of HS.
Little FYI on Nabers.. he isnt going to Baton Rouge this weekend as of now.. that’s a very good sign..
Nice. The Rebs are pretty confident on Buckhalter so we need to hold onto Nabers for sure.Quote:

Our people seem pretty confident. Either way, as long as Buck doesn't effect Daniels, I'm good either way
Nice find. 6'3, 260. Had 18 tackles and 2 sacks in only 5 games this year before he entered the portal. He would have 2 years to play for us. Had an issue there, but doesn't appear too major. He's out of Miami.Quote:

He's a better RB than Howard.Quote:

He's probably a take, but if we get Watkins, White, or Goodwin then he'll be moved to defense. I don't see the need for this to be a two RB class with Marks, Johnson, and Witherspoon all being Freshman again next year.Quote:

Probably releasing a list of his finalists.Quote:

I don't see Pounders or Daniels flipping. Copper is a wait and see no matter.
I like the guys we're probably about to get.
I think they love "winning" recruiting more than they love winning the Egg Bowl.Quote:

I find that odd.
It is odd, but it usually means their just building up excitement. He'll be a dawgQuote:

I don't disagree, but my question is did he tell the staff he was opening his recruitment back up? Was our staff aware that this would take place? That's my biggest concern.Quote:

Like someone else said, he likes the attention. He's drumming up some. Let him have his fun and sign with us in a couple weeks.
Saw where Paul put in a CB for Buckhaulter to OM with a 9/10 confidence rate. Go get Simeon Price if he flips and I feel fine. Also, a guy who was committed to OM, then State, and then OM (if he flips), usually does not pan out.
If we get Price then it evens out.
We honestly need to move on from these prima donnas that keep doing all this bs. If you want to act uncommited then don't commit. It's honestly that simple. The good one's don't do this crap. Simmons never did any of this......1st round pick. Fletcher Cox never did any of this......1st round pick. Although OM tried to make it seem like he was, Chris Jones never did any of this......2nd round pick. The one's that just want to play are the one's you want. It's why you haven't seen any of it from Robertson, Knox, or Nabors. Coincidentally, that's why they'll play next year. They keep their head down and just grind. People who want to be front and center in all this bs are the one's that struggle to adjust at the next level because everyone isn't telling them how great they are for doing the ordinary things P5 players are supposed to do......RANT OVER.
Think we're gonna replace him with Kanarius Johnson
THere was a ton of drama with Fletcher Cox and Chris Jones, just didn't play out over twitter. Some of these kids just enjoy having their recruiting play out online.Quote:
