Thanks for going public with it, Leon, instead of being dishonest or sneaky. You're a good kid.

Now, who wants to jump on this opening in our class? Maybe a more highly regarded defesnive back?

All the things he envisions in his post are still here, they didn't leave with Sumlin.

True. Give Fisher a chance to talk to him and establish his staff. If he is hurt because FSU didn't offer then Fisher can explain that we didn't think we'd get you or we had a guy closer that we felt better landing and didn't want to waste your or our time. OR, maybe Fisher doesn't think he'll be worth a damn.

Still time

Leon will be OK. The Aggies will be OK. We'll be OK. It's OK.

Based off of what we know, this probably has something to do with Jimbo not offering Leon after he flew up there for a visit or who Jimbo has decided to retain (or fire) from the staff.


This.

Perhaps there was not fit at FSU but could be at A&M? Give it some time.

I'd trade the entire roster for a great coach. Jimbo is a great coach.

Drama f'ing queen. Tweeted he was making an announcement before making the announcement. Way to s*** all over your buddy Max, too.

I am going to say the same thing here that I did in the thread asking about which coaches Fisher will retain.

I am going to let the guy making $7.5MM a year decide who to recruit. If he likes Leon, I figure he will reach out to the kid. If he doesn't reach out, I am going to assume he just isn't worth reaching out to.

Oh is he one of those? Smh his decision making is suspect anyway, then.

Lots of people have made poor decisions over arrogant butthurt in life only to realize later that if they'd just had remained calm and not made irrational choices it would have worked out much better.

Maybe young Leon will get over himself and his perceived wounded pride.

drama queen. i'm sure every single one of our commits is not 100% sold on Fisher yet- especially not knowing his asst coaches yet either.

Luckily most have the maturity to wait and speak with the man before deciding.

If you're out, fine. good luck and bye now. But don't weaken the team by rushing to the mic to announce you're shaky and no longer sure.

Crystal balls have him going to OU. Anyone know any good DBs to come out of there lately? We'll be fine with or without him.

He's rated as the 83rd best player and 7th best safety per composite in the class of 2018. This is a huge loss as he was our highest rated commit and a damn good safety.

-

7th best safety and 83rd best player and that was our highest rated recruit ? That should be the headline.
You have to be able to do better than that.

As far as him leaving because of Sumlin it's probably for the best if that is the reason especially if he is one of the high school kneelers.

Rankings mean something but aren't everything. We've had enough safeties that run 4.76 who can't cover a wheel route to convince me it isn't a big loss. Especially when you throw in the drama queen attitude the guy has. First he was leaving to Clemson, now BlowU, next will be he's taking a trip to tu. Bye Felicia!

Except he didn't. He thought better of it and changed his mind.


Some people are just butthurt and looking for a way to throw the kid under a bus.

He runs a 4.53, not a 4.76. He's also only going to get faster with training.

You commit to a school, NOT a coach........ever. Any kid who doesn't get that is severely lacking even the most basic cognitive skills.
That's not how it works and you know it.

Maybe he thinks this guy - Israel Mukuamu - is coming with Jimbo since he decommitted from FSU a couple of days ago (11/29).
I don't really want that guy though. We shouldn't be trading elite recruits for average three stars. We need to do better than that if we want to be elite.

No he doesn't. Even if he did, it would be his right to do so and there would be no sense in anyone getting triggered over it. We recruit guys who are good at football, and not because their political viewpoints align with ours.

If Jimbo wants him he will let him know. If not or hell even if he does and O'Neal doesn't reciprocate. Don't matter. Got Fisher.

Meh. His decision his life. We'll just go get another good player. No big deal. Moving on.

Thankfully, we don't need to care who you want. I am going to say it again. I will be happy with whomever Jimbo recruits. And I am pretty sure that Jimbo doesn't care who you want either.

HTH.

If Jimbo didn't offer him then we probably don't need him. Jimbo has had stacked Defensive talent the past 4-5 years.

HSFootballAg24, you responded to all kinds of comments but didn't say anything to mine...You guaranteed me that Bama would win the SEC even when I told you they would not. You were dead wrong. So sorry if I can't get behind you about what you say on 1 recruit.

Sumlin has recruited all kinds of supposedly good players only to see them not perform on the field. Why are you so worried about this one guy? Jimbo will get it done. No need to worry over 1 young recruit.

I was wrong on one prediction. We all do that sometimes. Not even the ESPN guys who get paid millions a year get it all correct. That's no reason to discredit other things that I say. I still think that Georgia thumps Aurburn and then Alabama makes it to the playoffs, but we'll see.

Check out his laser timed 40 at the Nike regional combine. Looks like he didn't run it at the national combine. I don't care what a hand timed 40 looks like from a hs coach. Players don't typically drastically decrease 40 times by the time they get to college. Frequently their time goes up as they have to add 20+ pounds in order to make it through a college season.

I don't care what Jimbo wants. He's an idiot if he'd take the Bossier safety over Leon O'Neal (unless it's a package deal to get Terrace Marshall as well). Jimbo isn't infallible and it's amazing how much blind faith some of y'all are already putting into him.

HTH.

Fair enough. And I think you are wrong to get so involved and worried over this 1 recruit.

The guy may still commit to A&M and/or might end up being a bust. Why worry so much over this 1 recruit?

By the way...not just a prediction. You guaranteed me that Bama would win the SEC. We don't all make bad guarantees as you did.

That's definitely a fair point. I'm worried because he was our highest rated commit and decommitted when we hired Jimbo. I don't want any guys to follow him, and I don't want to have to replace him with a player who isn't as good. There's definitely still an ok chance that we get him though.
