Aaron Franklin scholarship offer?

by Sunkist on Jun 17, 2009 4:16 PM CDT Comment 13 comments

I believe the coaches have given him an offer after his awesome showing at our camps. He's been under the radar because of an injury. And I guess the news is also that he will likely commit VERY soon? If he does commit, I guess he's committing as a safety? His size definitely points to this or I guess a linebacker that can play against the spread due to his quickness. What does this do for the rest of our offers? If he is coming in as a safety, he's obviously replacing Dixon. But if he comes in at LB, we probably won't go after both Hicks and Nelson. And Hicks IS visiting Texas (crossing my fingers for it to actually happen), so I guess we'll take whomever commits first out of both Hicks and Nelson and perhaps take the both if room allows?

Franklin seems like the right type of hybrid

My bet is that we keep Hicks’ schollie open until the end because he is that good. We have a good shot at him especially compared to freakin’ Columbus, OH. Hicks seems genuinely interested in Texas and I think taht he is finally a serious oos that we could land. He’s a perfect fit at Texas.

My money is that Nelson is the one that we let the clock run out on. I don’t think he was ever a Texas lean anyway and I remember seeing him in an Aggie shirt in some of his online pictures.

If it weren't for punctuation, spelling, and capitalization

I’d suspect this was a semi-mocking post of our “vs” friend.

Glad there is an easy way to tell the difference

I've read too many of his posts in the last few days.

Sadly, my writing ability took a step back (and actually mirrored him closely) after reading all of his mumbled posts. Luckily, my punctuation, spelling and capitalization still held up or you would very much think I was him.

Plus the fact that your profile wasnt created today

And you have taken the time to put and icon up for yourself.

Glad someone else brought it up.

When all of his posts were suddenly gone I began to think that I had imagined the whole thing. Nice to know I’m not losing my mind.

I've been fuelin' my dreams eatin' greens and beans.

He got escorted out

Escorted?!?! Hell he got beaten up so bad that he will forever have his CAPS LOCK button on and type with proper grammar!

I was putting it politely

He got his ass smacked around on here for a while before one of the higher powers cut the power to his moms basement

Just to be clear

Annoying posts and comments did not get him the boot. If that could get you booted I would have been gone long ago.

My guess is he crossed the line when he went into the slur filled tirade.

I miss the little feller...

I mean come on, this is the painfully slow time of year, it is most enjoyable to read pot shot posts at trolls with no compositional skills.

Talk about JaDeD

You guys crack me up. You finally get a post with a tiny crumb of recruiting news but you are too busy with your hazing to even notice. It was fun to read though.
