But why downplay it? Its not like OU is going to drop him. They will up their bag.

same reason we kept his visit hidden, I suppose

That’s all this boils down to, lol. We are going to drop it for one of these big ticket DL. Jones, Wilson, Johnson, etc someone will take it. It has happened every cycle for the past few seasons, feel strongly it will happen again. JMO

exactly
im hoping that is jones cuz while we stack elite ends yearly
we seem to only take elite DTS intermittently and so to me JJ at northwestern is who we should be giving the big bag too

Can Mario pull off another Lightfoot, Scott and Lowe? He's starting to have a track record with these flips.

We need 1 EDGE, 1 DT, and 1 at Safety as far as top Flips minimum imo. Do that and the class can be set.... I mean still would want another Rb and maybe a few more pieces for depth, but don't think we need an ELITE guys there... If we get more top flips, great, but that needs to be the priority - 1 DT, 1 EDGE, 1 Safety.

If he doesn’t want to come after watching Bain, Mesidor, and the whole defense, I don’t know what to tell him.

His future is inside for sure kids going to be 300 by the beginning of next season.

We’ll see … many said the same about Bain.

He’s already bigger than bain now and he’s still playing basketball kids going to explode in college

This guy is my first choice any recruit on defense. Second only overall to JC.

Own the trenches

Did I hear Pete right today where he said Jones is up to 275 or was he talking about someone elsE?

Let’s see when he’s on a better meal regiment… no clue what his diet is right now but I’m sure it’s not as dialed in as Bain is getting right now for his goals

Kid will reach 295 easy.

I also doubt he goes all the way to Oregon for school. Not saying it will be Miami but I doubt it’s Oregon.

Mobile to Eugene is a Long day of travel! Mobile to Miami is 5hrs.

It’s just too different worlds. Kid will stay in the south for college….watch.

Was that at PBI? I flew out yesterday there southwest. Seen a few Miami fans but bit players

Win and they'll come CIS said

One thing to look out for is there's a pretty high chance Lupoi gets some HC looks. Wouldn't surprise me to see UCLA pursue him.
