Roll tide. Really athletic dude. Will play guard from what I've heard, but has size and length for tackle.

From his looks, he looks like he can do anything he decides to do. Welcome!

Seriously, he reminds me of some of those road grader guards CNS used to recruit.

With my crimson-colored glasses on, I’m very disappointed. With my completely unbiased view, I’m not surprised at all. If I’m an otherwise non-affiliated top-flight OL recruit right now, is our current line philosophy what I want to hitch my future up to? A change needs to be made on our current staff.

Not surprising since he hasn't been on campus since June. Wondering if the staff has someone else in mind...

Fingers crossed we have another person in mind. In the recruiting world, a committed recruit not taking several unofficials during the season seems fishy.

Surely the staff saw this one coming.

Who knows, we may have been slow-playing him hoping he'd see the writing on the wall.

Pony Express will not be denied. Too much money
