weekend visitors

Submitted by Thorin on

AFAIK, the visitors are Tamani Carter, Frank Clark, Justice Hayes, Stefan McClure, Tony Posada, Raymon Taylor, Matt Wile and Leilon Willingham. I'm hoping that Posada will reaffirm his commitment and Wile will be the next in, but all I've heard so far is Justic Hayes tweeting that it's "Cold den a mugg!"

That'd be a crap work study job...'Hey Billy...we're gonna pay you $8.00 an hour...go shovel 10 yards of the stadium every time it snows even a little bit so we can give some free scholarships away.'  Hell of a deal for the University though since they would be paying under $4.00 an hour for it!

I know the cold can discourage some isouthern, but I am not sure how much. To me, when it gets into the high 20s low 30s in Florida, it seem significantly colder than similar temps up north. Areas in north Fla are 5-10 degrees colder than we get in south Fla and we've had some record setting cold the past couple years. If they get up there and see its not as bad as they expected that might be a bonus. Once you get below zero, it is just miserable regardless. Having said that, I also realize that some people down here absolutely cannot tolerate anything south of 70.

I'm a Michigan transplant in Texas.  Been here for 17 years now.  Folks from the south get very intimidated by the cold.  Don't want to be a Debbie Downer but count on it fellas, there will be at least a couple in that list that once they get on the plane they will say "Mom/Dad I like it, there's history, there's tradition, there's nice facilities, but sorry I could not handle the cold weather.

This doesn't answer your question, but I thought I'd recap our current recruiting status before (hopefully) the good news starts pouring in from this weekend.  I never post on here and don't have access to Scouts/Rivals/etc. so not sure how useful this will be since all this info can be found on various posts on this site...

Suntrup is just speculation at this point (so I guess he could go in the last category) and there's a rumor that Shortell has an offer. I also did this list as I was leaving work yesterday so it's by no means the end all be all...e.g., K. Jones is from TX not MI.

Thanks for the helpful summary.  So much going on within such a short timeframe that it is good to step back and see the whole picture.

picture.  I dont think I have seen snow in the BIg House before.  I just always assumed that the place was "hallowed ground" and mother nature would NEVER dare to put snow on the Big House.

Drove by the stadium the other day and the concourse was shoveled and clean.
