I like our chances with Khamauri as of now...
What I’m waiting on is to see what happens once the indeterminate Dead period is lifted & he starts visiting SEC campuses, will we have a strong enough appeal to keep him interested for the long haul. I still remember when Daran Branch (a Louisiana kid) was all Miami & even gave us an early verbal, stayed with us until like November, then all of the sudden we started hearing about sick Grand pappy’s & wanting to stay close to home before the inevitable decommit happened & wound up signing with UGA.
Same thing with Jardin Gilbert last year, he was high on Miami in the Spring/Summer, but once it became apparent we were going hard for the local kids he fell out of the plans, at one point he was considering committing though, but even if he did he more than likely would’ve still de-commd anyway.
That’s the only caution & hesitation I have with getting too giddy about kids from deep in SEC country, they all love Miami in the Spring/Summer before they start taking visits & making their rounds to Bama, UGA, LSU, TAMU, Ole Miss etc, we’re always an intriguing team to those kids early in the process, but once it’s crunch time & NSD nears closer we usually don’t get’em or if we had’em we end up losing’em.
We’ll know where we stand with Rogers come Sep-Nov, if he’s still high on us then, we may just end up with a big time steal from Mississippi.
