Sniffles
His twitter from a couple weeks ago said he's playing JUCO in Cali this year. Not saying where yet, but I'm guessing Laney College in Oakland. He's from San Pablo, which is really close to Oakland, where Laney is located, and Laney has a decent CC football program. There are plenty of other options, including City College of San Francisco, though they have recently lost their accreditation.Quote:

His instagram yesterday said he's playing in the SEC this year.Quote:

I'll defer to you, then. I really don't know. Just googled his name and found his twitter.Quote:

Yesterday you said there was NO way he would be at State in 2014, has that changed?Quote:

Im assuming there is a chance since we are going to sign him - but everyone I have spoken to says that he has a long, long way to go, but hey maybe we can get him on a plan;Quote:

ETA: Just saw where he has 3 years to play 3, so I guess he redshirted during one of the past 2 years. So that is good news.
What about his transcripts?Quote:

So this year we have secret commits, rabbits, and ;). It's the most bullshitty tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime.........of the year.
One more week and it's over for awhile thank goodness
H2H was saying this afternoon that if he stayed at Holmes he could graduate this summer and be able to start in the fall at a d1 program...provided he passes everything. Based on that it appears he has found a way to play this fall.
Rabbit, yes.Quote:

Back in the day, "deaf and dumb" was about the worst insult you could heave.
I agree Cadaver. Get this crap off the board.
1) In that context "dumb" means mute, not stupid.Quote:

3) Within the last day he retweeted something noting that he's legally deaf. It's public knowledge.
There's No Place Like Holmes (school slogan when I was there....and they are correct)Quote:

I stand corrected and willing to admit it. Nice find. I hope we land this guy.Quote:

Wow, he doesn't seem like a guy who needs to be taught much. Obviously he'll need to learn scheme and what we like to do, but in terms of the basics of playing CB, he's got it down. And you can't teach those feet/hips. That's elite level there.
This kid is a player and by all accounts a great kid. He would be a great pickup.
I also really like that he has 3 years to play 3.
3 to play 2Quote:

Pretty big. He did sign with Notre Dame out of HS.Quote:

Absolutely, he was no lower than the #3 CB coming out by anyone, and some had him among the top 20 players in the country overall.Quote:

I love this kid, but I have an honest question: how does the hearing disability affect his and our game? There's a lot of verbal communication on the football field. Anyone have insight?
