This is on ITU;
Coach Barrow told him their is three scenarios....

#1 if avery young commits, then he has to see if someone doent qualify.
#2. If avery doesnt commit, then he has a scholarship.
#3. If avery commits and everyone qualifies, he will greyshirt.

He is fine with all the options even waiting until next jan. to enroll.

Not sure if I believe this. I dont think this kid would have passed up a shot to play at VT to possibly grey shirt here.

There's a quote by him that says as much.

"There are three different scenarios coach Barrow told me," Blue said. "It depends what Avery Young does. If he commits I have to wait on someboy that doesn't qualify; they have someone that's shaky right now. If Avery Young doesn't commit then I get that scholarship. And the third option is grayshirt. That's okay with me."

Well it is kind of a **** move. the kid has been commited to Va Tech since last July. The kid took no other visits.

Then on NLoI day, he waited until two other UM recruits signed elsewhere then flipped to UM. WOW!!

If he knew all along where he was going and just waited until today to announce it, I would agree that it was a **** move. But considering the fact that he wasn't provided with an offer until today, you can't really blame the kid for accepting an opportunity that he had been waiting on and believes is in his best interest. To Beamer, it's one recruit. To this kid, it's the next 3-5 years and the diploma he'll carry for the rest of his life.

Jen put it perfectly. He wanted to be a Cane the whole time, it's not like he's had an offer for months and JUST flipped today. In a way, I admire the kid for following his heart.

How does this kid compare to a guy like Burgess? Seems like people are saying he "replaced" Northrup but to me he seems like less like a MLB and more like a Weakside backer. Blue isn't huge but looks like he has some decent lateral speed. Maybe a Cookie-lite?

I think northrup was a little more "year 1-ready" for college football, but by year two, I think Blue & Northrup are a wash.

If Jawand Blue did not commit to Va Tech so early (Last July, before 2-a-days of his senior season started) he would have gotten a lot more attention from the online recruitniks IMO.

This kid is a very good looking prospect. Needs a redshirt. I think Northrop is slightly bigger but not by much. If the kid played for a more successful program, then he probably gets the online recruitnik love.

Re: Jawand Blue

We own the Canes....Golden will not change that. You are not the SEC and over-recruiting will only get you a bunch of transfers.[/TD]

lmao we aren't even over signing

we barely signed anybody last year and made up for it with EE's

Blue is probably my second favorite recruit in this class now, behind Duke

At least Blue had the balls to call Beamer and tell him person-to-person.

Blue knew it was going to be a last minute decision on his scholarship offer, so, I see no problem with it coming down to the wire.

Just hope he did it in a gentlemanly way...we've had recruits fist **** us in the past...so, I wish it on no one, even Beamer...well, maybe Muschamp and Jimbo.

I'm seeing Blue has flipped to the U. Does this mean we don't expect Young to sign at 2pm? I thought we could only sign 25 today?

I see blackvern posted just before me when I posted this and explains what is going on. Look for the post starting "Wow! Jawand Blue..."

Good stuff. Glad we got him. I'd much prefer a good player that wants to be here over another entitled punk that wants to play games

Well........,

they both cannot enroll in August on a football scholarship without something else occuring. But we can most certainly accept both of their commitment documents today.
