I completely expect him to commit to us this weekend.

 

[bbdude]

We need him. I'd like to snag Avery too while he is in town this weekend.

Would be surprised if he doesn't commit to the good guys. When he commits, instead of saying he lives in an orange house it will be he lives in an orange dorm.

I like the way he write and the way he play.

I do

I like this guy and would love to see us get him. But every time I see his name, all I can think of is: I bet he is glad his dad's last name wasn't Tang.

Friend said he saw Poona on campus yesterday, walking around taking a tour. He said Poona opened the door for everyone and held it open for everyone to enter. I already like this kid.

Damn near everything? I thought UT had EVERYTHING!

Damn near everything? I thought UT had EVERYTHING!

As now we almost do except a Poona...

This kid looks like a stud. He's ranked the #23 tackle nationally. His HS coach said he'd like to see the 22 in front of him.

Watching his video… it was almost shocking the way he detonated some of the other team's players.

The hit at the 1:08 mark is ridiculous.



"I think the numbers that he put up last year are absolutely ridiculous," coach B.J. Payne said. "They were mind-blowing. I know he led the country in tackles and tackles for loss last year (among tackles). Trying to do that two years in a row is hard to do."

"Ford has been among the most productive defensive tackles in the country the past two seasons. He had 135 tackles, including 28 for losses (seven sacks) in 2013.

As a junior his stats were staggering —154 tackles, including 44 for losses — with Payne saying he is believed to have led all tackles nationally in those categories. He had 10 sacks."

That dude will destroy the gate (those last three guys in front of the punter) on punt returns! Hoping he is enjoying his tour around the 40.

Not only is the guy a bamf, he has a great name for the position.

"You should of brought a gun instead of beer, mate"

"Nah, I don't need a gun... I have a Poona"

There must be some girls on campus now.

I've always thought it a mistake to bring them in when the students are away.

Then he would be related to Ketch. His first name is actually Kaylon.

Getting nervous havent heard any updates.

 

[utisdabomb12]

He probably won't commit today or in the near future, he still has some visits at other schools.
