Hasn't this guy already commited?
Bone says yes but i didn't see it anywhere. Did the Boneman jump the shark on this one?

Bone has taken down this video he had on his youtube page. In it he says blackshire has commited. Maybe he jumped the gun on this one. Bone is pretty well connected and usually spot on when it comes to recruiting. Just a matter of time i think.

He's a silent commit...he's been a silent commit for months....just waiting for him to go public.

I don't think that's what happened. Bone is a good dude. Bone thinks, and with good reason i hope, that KB commits soon. He prerecords a short segment, it was just 3 or 4 mins long, talking about his commitment. So let's say KB commits at noon Monday, he has a quick segment ready to go. All media does this. The problem happens when it was published by mistake, should have put on file, to be used later. Just a simple screwup. My theory FWIW

that’s what I mean by unprofessional. It takes a lot of accidental clicks to put things like that in tweets.

It was an accident...it was always a video posted on Youtube not a tweet. A lot of recruiting guys have stories set on automatic especially if a recruit tells them that they are committing and a time to make sure that they have the story ready to break in a timely manner. Blackshire may have told Bone a certain time (there were heavy rumors and I also heard that he was committing either Friday or Saturday) and changed his mind. Hate to say it...but Blackshire has no thunder with this one. Everyone sees this one miles away.

It’s still his moment. Bone should’ve double checked with him, and if necessary, canceled his automatic whatever he had scheduled. It’s responsible journalism. If Bone is trusted by these guys and “sources” he has a responsibility to keep mistakes to a minimum.

He doesn’t look like he is in high school. Reminds me of how developed physically Shane Lee was last year coming out of high school.

I'd say better than Lee. Lee had a LOT of bad/unproductive weight that significantly limited his mobility. Blackshire doesn't appear to have the bad weight, so hopefully his mobility will be better than what we saw from Lee in year 1. Lee still has time to adapt (like Foster) and lose the weight to gain the needed speed and mobility to play in a modern offense
