Four-star DL Kendall Jackson commits to Miami

[AUcane]

As I said a couple weeks ago spots were VERY tight. I was told when he committed he might be on the outside looking in and I didn’t believe it.

Did someone recently come on board?

I always hoped one day we would be in position to drop 4 star recruits again and here we are, all top of the hill

 

[Ghandi]

I don’t get it.

They chased this dude up and and down the street since June 2022.

You got him and now you’re not going to take him in a class that has a bigger than I’m comfortable with scrub/moonshot %?

That’s like finally getting the girl you’ve trying to plow ready to ride the bologna pony…and you zip up and walk away!?

Actually from what I remember they pivoted to him after Scott committed to Ohio state. Probably looked again when Blount flipped but with Blount trending back needed the spot.

I’m kind of tied up otherwise I’d go back and check, but I’m 99% sure he was prioritized all recruiting cycle, especially when people were initially upset with his 3-star rating without watching the film. It was constantly reiterated and when you watched the film, you understood why. Most people quickly changed their tune upon seeing the film.

Something must’ve changed, either a big fish on board that’s going under wraps and/or they feel good on a big portal target at DT. I think the staff understands the need to inject talent into the D-Line, so dropping him is surprising.

This would be a mutual decision.

this spot is for an unknown whale….something’s up.

So Russell is better than Jackson? Columbus bros?

I’m going with big fish. They’re not telling us something, I know it.

He definitely was brought up in the names of the whales but think the staff always felt he was a good plan B to them. I think adding Scott and Blount took his spot away. I could definitely be wrong just speculating.

I always thought 4 big DL was wierd. I thought something hinky was gonna happen with Blount, turns out Jackson was the odd one.

 

[Jassid82]

After the David Stone situation..where he literally changed his mind 2min before going to the podium..I don’t push anyone out until I see ink dry. You can figure out the numbers later. If we pushed him out off the word of Blount..that’s beyond risky.

That’s my concern here.

You start trimming from the bottom up!

 

[Torocane]

Hope they have a real solid 100% confirmation someone else taking his spot.
Bird in hand and all that. JMO

I have no idea but I'm assuming they chased Jackson and at the end of the day decided Scott, Blount, Lightfoot, Jones, Pickett, Rudolph, McConathy and Russell was a good enough DL haul and they should save spots for other positions.

Jackson is not a Columbus bro

Not a chance in ****, but if they view it like that…it is what it is. Won’t complain over one recruit.

This should mean a real "whale" is about to commit.

Trimming and bologna pony in 2 threads

Someone other than the other 2 we really want? It still doesn’t explain why the bottom fat is holding on other than there is a bad mix from a personality point of view (work ethic, attitude, etc) that others have that Jackson doesn’t.
