UM offers 2022 LB Devon Jackson

[fincane]

Was he always anticipating this?

He retweeted Graves when he committed to Miami so I don't think we were ever completely out on him. If the crumbs being laid are correct it is a good decision by the staff to give Medlock the go ahead. Houston area kids fit in at Miami where Jackson may never get comfortable making that decision.

I nevrr thought he was out of it just the backup plan. In fact this might even been in reaction to Tolan seeing that he tweeted this 3 days after his commit so either way I'm down

I think Medlock would be an ILB, Jackson would be a OLB/Striker. Both would be great (and I would love to see a class of WB, Medlock, and Jackson) but we have a bigger need for ILBs right now

Of the 5 “warm” on 247, we’re the only one he’s visited and he’s committing next week so….?????

Very much so. He’s literally the fourth dude on your board at a position you’re going to take two at.

That makes him a TAKE to me.

Hope things line up for him and us.

Kid can play but at this point he is almost a must. Him and Wesley is a very solid LB class.

 

[CaneDog66]

Wes and Medlock would certainly bring up the LB room. Here’s hoping now with Jackson playing wishy washy, that Manny is giving Medlock the green light now to commit. Would be a very good LB class, not great but improvement regardless

 

[Southbeach44]

CB's for Medlock will be rolling in soon for us. This is an easy one. Cane.

I find it odd that ou and Texas were hard after medlock and are now after Jackson as well. Maybe those schools put the pressure on medlock to commit and are now offering Jackson to send a message that they will take his spot if he doesn't pull the trigger soon.

 

[Sigma_Cane_7]

He’s worth it, his stock is about to rise. His feathers are ruffled

Sooooo, we saying Manny letting patty cake gang himself so we can land Michael Burrow in 2022??? Got it Lol

 

[miamian01]

Recruiting is fluid.

 

[TexasCane90]

I’m fine with Medlock as long as he’s paired with Wes

Plus I’m a Texas native so I love seeing more Lone star kids repping the U

 

[MaketheUgreatagain]

Lol he’s a pretty funny little dude. A “get out of your feelings” text will get the job done. He’s not overly emotional he’s actually pretty rational. Wesley aside he didn’t think those other guys were just sure fire better than him so it was a matter of pride is all

Considering we continue to miss on LB targets left and right, we gotta stop messing around and lock this kid up. Hopefully it’s not too late

Did Bissanthe commit?

This reminds me of when Elton Brand and Lamar Odom were both restricted free agents with the Clippers. The Heat wanted Odom, but first they put a huge offer on Brand. When LA matched the offer for Brand, the Heat scooped up Odom ever so easily.

Yeah it has the feel of Feagans and Little situation with Bama. Both put in a holding pattern while Bama chase the top dogs with the understanding only one spot will only be left. I believe Jackson and Medlock (more so Medlock) are in the same scenario as it pertained to OU and to a smaller extent UT. As Medlock leans to Miami I see OU picking up attention on Jackson. I don't think either has been "Heavily" recruited by OU or Tex though which has allowed Miami the good opportunity with Medlock. I'm Ok with this as Miami has allowed plenty schools this same opportunity to poach very good players from under our noses as we prioritize others.
