Re: DT Phidarian Mathis

So Mathis is headed to TCU this weekend fresh off the visit to Tuscaloosa last weekend. I doubt that we will have anymore contact with him until signing day other than a call or text message. I like our chances though it will be a tough pull from LSU. We seem to have a quicker path to playing time and have been showing a lot of love. I am hoping this is another signing day prize recruit to pull the trifecta - Mathis - Solomon - Ray.

Hoping we land Mathis. He has a great upside.

When looking at Louisiana we could end up with 5 of the top 7 players in the state if you count Moses which I am going to do, but technically he is a FLA kid since he went to IMG. That would be a rough start for Coach O with the corndog nation.

Re: DT Phidarian Mathis

Tim Watts CB'd him to us a little while ago. Tim has a good track record, so hopefully we get some good news later on today!
TIFWIW, I just saw where Steve Wiltfong CB'd Mathis to us. He is the director of recruiting for 247 and has an 89% accuracy rate on his CB's and this ranks him #1 in the category.

Re: DT Phidarian Mathis

Is there any podcast or TV of the announcement? I know he is doing it at the gravesite of a friend so don't know about a broadcast.
A bit unusual, not in any way saying that it`s inappropriate either mind you, but can`t help wondering what, if any, significance this might hold insofar as his choice is concerned (?). Nice to see that we`ve received a couple of rather " high ranking " CB`s.

No significance from what I have read only that they were great friends that came from the same hometown. I hope we get him because he seems like a real class act by doing this in memory of his close friend.

My understanding - they were close friends, and the guy died from a big hit in a 2014 or 2015 football game.

Well, if he is announcing in 18 minutes then I'm officially on pins and needles for the next 24 hours
