Heard he was a steal for us from people in the know. This offer just confirms it. Admitadley not a x and o guru but kid just came off as a hell of an athlete to go with a good head on his shoulders. May take a bit longer for him to see the field at NW just because your level of competition is much higher(bigger, stronger, faster), but imagine he'll be a solid player. Lawrence Taylor was a soft verbal /heavy lean here before he signed with UNC and that turned out well. Never know, recruiting is such a crapshoot but don't doubt he would of been a major contributor here sooner then later.

Feel free to send a few transfers our way...it's only fair right ?
Thanks, and you sound like a good loser, a loser nonetheless, encouraging the lack of accountability for the word given by a young man and contributing to the travesty of the commitment process.
Wow, you are an embarrassment to this board. How about the word given by Rocco to these commits? Not sure why you are singling out Evans, but there are plenty more that walked away from their commitment. Rocco and almost his entire staff broke their commitment to all of them. You are clearly bitter and I assume you weren't a D1 athlete and have never gone through the recruiting process and don't have a child that has? Same here, but a little common sense, empathy and maturity I do have. I don't expect any 17/18 yr old boy to have the same maturity as I do. But I suspect these kids parents are in fact, mature and have offered guidance to each of them. We don't know what we don't know. We do agree on one point - the commitment process is a travesty, but it's the process nevertheless.
Why UT Martin? They have never done anything and we have. I guess he doesn't want to win a whole lot of games over four years.
It's not always about that. I heard he's a really good kid and is very close to his family. I'm sure that was in play. Wish he was going to be a Spider, but wish him all the best!
Not a knock on the kid at all, if that's what he wants then I completely respect that. If I was going to commit somewhere I think y'all know where it would be, it would be local and I would choose to go there even over a top level fcs program.
What happens to scholarship slots we don't use on this class? Is there a per year limit or we are good, just can't exceed 63?
At the FCS level you can bring in up to 30 "counters" (recruits receiving some form of aid) in a year.
Agree 100%. May not be our best class but offensive line and d-line are two important positions. You have to win at the point of contact up front on both sides of the ball and that has what has set us apart from the rest of the league for the last few years and will take us to even greater heights.
