And his dad, or someone in his family, keeps tweeting about how he is “under recruited” … and it may be true… tweeting about how SC schools letting him get away etc.

Yeah, I have seen that as well. I think this kid is definitely underrated, but it's definitely concerning how it keeps getting mentioned that he wasn't recruited enough.
I have a feeling he won't be coming here if he keeps putting up big numbers.
Hopefully he has made up his mind and goes with the school that truly saw the talent in him first and plays with a chip on his shoulder rubbing it in on every school that didn't give him a chance.

It isn’t like this kid plays in Podunk Nowhere, SC. He plays at Dutch Fork where college recruiters live. He has been seen plenty. He may have a monster season and blow up, he may not. App recruited him but went with another guy higher on their board. Cignetti and staff think enough of him to be a take. I really don’t understand why these kids surround themselves with people that can’t see that being wanted increases your ability to succeed. Hope he sticks with you guys for his sake and the team’s.

Well you know how it is, many parents have either unrealized fantasies of their own sports careers projected to their kids or think that their own kid is the greatest and most underappreciated talent to walk the earth unless they are compared favorably to Barry Sanders or something. Pops was probably just hoping for a sniff from a school that sounds similar to eclampsia.

Once they get here next year they'll understand why JMU was the right move all along.

But he's he's from South Carolina, I'm hoping our smoothie operation is on par with the heightened expectations.
