They should be 10 steps ahead of the game when it comes to the in state kids. There is no reason that every in state player they offer doesn't have it unless they are a back up plan. I understand if their process takes longer with out of state kids, but if it were me, I'd make sure every junior (soon to be senior) that is in Missouri that I want has an offer by junior day. Might pick up some early commitments that way.
Having said that, I've been biting my tongue a bit because frankly I haven't seen him play football but I have seen him play basketball. I am shocked that Bama even offered him. In basketball, it always struck me that he was getting pushed around (granted by guys a year or 2 older) and didn't seem to be the most athletic on the court. Maybe that has no correlation to the football field, but I remember thinking when his name first popped up thinking "Football?!?! Really?!?!?!" Wish the kid well and hope he proves me wrong and is a helluva player, but I'm not losing any sleep on this one. There are literally 200 more TE's in the country that are better, the same or hardly a noticeable drop off.

I can't believe Henson told Scales they needed to get some numbers on him.
BS.
He's in your backyard. Henson and staff should know what they need to know about him.
You know you're going to offer him at some point, offer him upfront.
You want the hometown discount, gotta bring the hometown offer at the very beginning.
It's like waiting until a player hits free agency, and then courting him with a cheaper salary than the rest of the market is offering.
