Sounds like Terry might not sign today, so there's another kick in the balls. This class is going to come back to bite us, ranked in the 50's and losing guys isn't good.

Does he have academic issues?

It only takes a few highly rated 2017 JUCO kids to fill in the gaps from 2016, add a strong 2017 class, and were fine. Let's say Terry does not sign, we're loaded with young OLBs. and really, whats the difference in #50 and #30? When you look at the actual ratings, trade a few 5.5's for 5.7's, maybe add a 5.8, 4 star. Point is there isn't a huge talent difference, mostly just hair splitting.

Our best recruiting in 2016 was Odom, Heupal and Shipp. That's where the difference will be.

PM knows nothing and just noted it's likely be signs no where today. No one knows why.

so strange about terry

But if you know what you're doing, Chuck cooks up better, is more versatile and has a more "beef" taste. It is served in manly dishes like stews and Chilli. Or can be cut into a 24oz steak. Served with BEER.

Filet is hyped but very delicate, has limited cooking options, and usually is "ordered by Women!" Served with wine.

Maybe Terry would not sign the NLI without having his position coach in place. Now that it has been officially announced, Shipp can call him tomorrow and get this thing done.

Just a thought.

true but you are not likely to win the competition with it. You can get close, and have some fun, and eat some interesting food and BEER.

and maybe that's as good if not better

You don't have to sign a LOI. It just locks the kid in. He could not sign one and just show up to class in the summer.

That would set him up for a grayshirt. We're not going there.

LOI also give you the scholarship and guarantees you a spot in August.

Terrelle Pryor was the #1 recruit in the nation a few years back and didn't sign on NSD. But everybody wanted him. He signed with OSU later.

Terry is different. Lots of P5 schools are full, or at least full at his position.

He might be having cold feet. Could be about Mizzou, home sickness in general or Juco bound. One way or the other this is almost always not good.

That link is from a year ago

That's a year old article.

A LOI gives all the power to the school. Terry is good enough that he could choose to not sign a LOI, show up this summer and play in the fall.
