Arkansas, Alabama, and Michigan.

Has Bama offered? They didn't show up on 247.

quote:

Highly regarded tight end commitment Kedrick James said Arkansas is one of his top three schools after visiting the Hogs today. James, 6-6, 247, 4.81, of Waco (Texas) La Vega has scholarship offers from schools like Arkansas, Michigan, Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan, Illinois, Miami and numerous others. He said Alabama and Michigan are his other two top schools.


quote:

His grandmother, Dr. Charlene Johnson-Carter, is an associate professor at Arkansas and his uncle, Damani Carter is a fullback for the Hogs.

*Being reported in Arkansas he has committed to Saban

I wonder when he got downgraded from a 4*? At one point in time, he was like the #4 overall TE in the rankings.

Dunno? 328 ranking overall now. Maybe a mad BU writer helped with a downgrade?

So he is gonna be playing with his uncle?!
Also, when did 3* top 3 lists start making the lists for "topics" on the sec recruiting board? Not a flame, but it's typically reserved for higher rated prospects or kids that schools are really fighting over. Is this guy really underrated or something?

Kid is considered one of the best TE's in the nation. Was a top 200 player overall while committed to Baylor. He decommits and his ranking all of a sudden plummets. Real Odd.

Has offers from Ark, Texas, aTm, Auburn, Michigan, Oklahoma, etc.

This type of thread actually makes more sense for the recruiting board than when folks are just posting when a player commits.

That is some good intel. I remember he tried to commit to A&M a while back, but his mom asked him to reconsider. Strong family ties to Arkansas and their recent success with developing TEs would be a win-win for the kid.

There was a ton of smoke between us and this kid a while back when the Baylor stuff was going down and all of the sudden it stopped. I was wondering what happened, if he just cooled on us or something. I thought he was a solid prospect

On a side note, I saw an article yesterday where Cameron Clear's JUCO head coach threw some shade at A&M. I know you guys say the same things he was saying about A&M not using the TE but it was odd seeing a head coach at a feeder school like Arizona Western actually say it. I wonder if someone got James to listen to the same pitch.

Most of us all know that Spavital was an idiot. Hopefully things will get better under Mazzone.

That being said, Clear doesn't have any grievances adopt his time at A&M. Maybe this coach was hoping to leverage Clear fir his own personal gain?

He just put on Twitter he will not and will make a decision soon.

Maybe this is good for Arkansas since he just visited.

This was unexpected, I don't think anyone had him pegged as the TE or even the potential 2nd TE in the class.

Not a knock though, dude is built well and can run for hi size. Plus if Arkansas was after him, that is a pretty good indicator of talent for a TE.

A&M was trying to get him at DE. Will he play DE or TE at Bama?

Kid was rated much higher when he was a part of Baylor's class. Once he started looking around and stated he was no longer going to Baylor, his ranking just fell off the map.
