Burgess Becker Announcement

chicanego said:
I will be interested to hear their comments if they commit.

With two athletes of this stature, the best of the best are going to be after them, but I'll feel better with statements that signify a firm commitment as opposed to Tyrek Cole's "I'm committed to FSU, but still wide open."

That being said, my Jimmies need some positive news after the past month.

I forgot if it was Ferman or Shoddell that reported it, but SSBs dad said they will still go through the recruiting process after they commit (go to visits, etc.)

Just like Rudolph, Nix, Peterson, Bryce, etc. Of course I'm happy if they commit today buts it's close to meaningless.
 
From Cam on Twitter:

@underwoodsports: Out here at #Fire tryouts. Just talked to Shawn Burgess-Becker. When asked if we'd see a commitment he said and I quote "I dunno. We'll see"

@underwoodsports: More Burgess-Becker "Me and Ridley just talked about a lot of stuff. When were ready, we'll let y'all know."

@underwoodsports: I then asked "Is that time when you let us know coming today?" Burgess-Becker's Response: "Probably yes. Probably not."

@underwoodsports: I'm gone

Not that a soft verbal commitment a year away from next year's NSD would've meant all that much, but we really, really could've used a good bounce with everything that's happened with recruiting lately.

Recruits have the right to handle the process however they want. But they clearly played games by hyping up the tryouts and lying about their intentions to commit to a school. If that's a sign of things to come, this is going to be yet another roller coaster. 'Crootin, y'all.

Jimmies admittedly rustled.

I think Ridley is more Sammy Watkins than Marquise lee. No knock on Lee but I think Ridley has better physical traits (size and top speed).

WTF does probably yes. Probably not mean? Does this kid realize he just said nothing?

Should've added Cam's follow-up tweet. That'll tell you all you need to know about what happened.

@UnderwoodSports: In short, we just got played. I'm mad. And, I'm leaving.

not a good sign when the announcement for the scheduled date is even unstable


Cam , Pete, ..

Or whoever knows these kids well. Do you feel that they are the type to play games or high character kids that will be solid?

Makes you wonder if what they told Safid Deen and others that had many believing they were strong UM leans this early in the process was legitimate or not.

@SBNRecruiting: I feel like I called this. Almost everyone worth a **** was at SFE, had to have some reason for media to come out to Fire...
