Got to be Sandidge, right?

Who is Spurs Up Designs? I am on twitter, but don't follow them. Pretty legit?

When is Tindall announcing? He said the other day that he was planning to commit soon.

I've been out of the loop all last week in an area in Texas where I had no phone or text except for short periods at night when they had the wifi generator running. And it took me 40 hrs and five flights to get home because of weather. And I think I have some sort of Pakistani flu because some Paki lady kept sneezing in my face, would not cover her mouth, on the next to final leg to Chicago ... been miserable all day and my mind is not working right but I finally took a call a few minutes ago and, based upon what I was told, we're trying to hold onto a K.J. (?) somebody or other ... a defensive end who draws a blank with me for some reason. I'm not absorbing things real good right now so take it fwiw. I know he said a DE. I'm pretty sure he said K.J. something or other. Has decided to sign early after saying he was waiting until Feb. Supposed to be the guy mUSChamp has been referring-to in his last couple of Q & A sessions. That's all I've been able to find out and with my wife doding over me and sticking thermometers in my mouth and making me take medicine and taking my phone away from me I'm not sure how I took the conversation completely ... but IMHO I guess you could say it sounded positive, who knows. I remember him saying Bama, UGA and Clemson were who we're up against.

Sounds like you are talking about KJ Henry a 5 star DE from NC, but from all reports I've seen we're a longshot at best with him. Pretty much has been considered a Clemson lock the whole time. Love to have him of course, but I wouldn't believe it until he actually signed.

Yes, that's him. Thank you KingSlayer. Like I said, take it fwiw. Evidently it has something to do with his Dad? Is that the guy? Something to do with us in the market for two new coaches and only klemzin and us willing to hire him and him being buddies with Bobby Bentley ... but who the hell knows.

As an addendum, evidently that Spurs Up Design twitter account is connected. He's not working for the school or Justin King but he is good friends with two of the guys that do ... so look for him to be cut off or declared personna non grata pretty soon once mUSChamp gets wind of that tweet.

We're going to close really strong no matter what. And we're going to take at least one more additional commit than most think we are if we get everyone they plan on us getting on early signing day.

Yes, it is KJ Henry that you're talking about and yes, word is we are considering hiring his dad for the 10th coaching position. Taternet is having a goddamn fit bc of it, apparently. How unfair it would be for us to hire Henry's dad "just to steal KJ from them." Wah wah wah boo fricking hoo. About fricking time we level the playing field, sink to their level, whatever you want to call it in snagging recruits.

Henry is having a commitment ceremony at his school I believe on the 20th at 4:20 that will be aired live on ESPN.

Spurs up!

Guessing Horn or Bryce Thompson.

Kid is huge. Solid pickup. Read where Wolford is really high on him.

No, not the only one he was referring to. Lots of hints that Thompson will be a Gamecock. Wearing Carolina gloves and cleats at the Shrine bowl practice.
