Longhorn Commit on another Visit???

[H-D Rider]

Word coming from our friends to the East are saying that Hassan Ridgeway, Mansfield defensive end, who is committed to Texas.. is currently on a freaking official visit to the ATM.

All I can say is WOW... what is this kid thinking?

 

[El Torito]

Official visit? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if his offer is pulled.

 

[H-D Rider]

By looking at the hour it was posted, it appears he was supposed to there yesterday... but got delayed due to his basketball game last night!

Aggy Visit!

 

[pulque]

I read that he visited last weekend as well...

 

[wadster]

This late in the game, Offer should be pulled and given to guys that know what the hell they want assuming it's true.

 

[BigVegasHorn26]

Guessing this explains the last minute interest in Cottrell.

If he wants out, so be it. He won't make or break this class. C'est la vie.

 

[BigVegasHorn26]

And he's a prime candidate for the MB Curse is he goes...

 

[Bill in Sinton]

I agree with wadster if this is true because it is so close to NSD. We can use the scholarship next year for someone that wants to be here. He seems to be wavering. This may be a good bullet to dodge.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Pull the offer; give Aggy their moral victory and move on.
Either way, we're good.

 

[dillohorn]

Agree. Pull the offer if the interest in a@m is true.

 

[Clean]

It's on the front page of Texags, must be true.

Maybe he'll come to his senses. Don't pull his offer, that doesn't make any sense.

 

[ViperHorn]

Pull it and move on. A MNC does not depend on this kid.

If Ridgeway is visiting ags, I have to wonder if he's afraid of competition for his position at Texas. If so, how can he expect to compete against opposing team members?
What could Summlin and co. possibly be in his with at this point? What a waste of an opportunity, hope he gets his head straight - great athlete and could be a monster playing for Diaz

 

[PropositionJoe]

Not sure he's afraid of competition. Isn't ut pretty thin at de?

Perhaps like daje hes just more interested in a&m than he is in ut.

Will be interesting to see 1) how Mack approaches this and 2) who ridgeway signs with.

Supposedly he was also in town last weekend as well.

What's the difference between strong v weak DE?

 

[BigVegasHorn26]

Strong side vs weak side. Typically your strong side DE's are bigger bodied, stronger, and more powerful to stand up against the run. Think Okafor. Your weak side DE's are typically your quick twitch faster guys. Think Orakpo.

 

[UTEX69]

Think SEC

 

[chango]

Strong side = tight end side, no?

Does anyone have a picture of HR on the ag campus? If so can you post it, or post a link to it if it is elsewhere? Was it an ag coach that reported the visit or only aggy fans? Aggy fans might not even know HR and be mistaking someone else for him. I have been through enough last minute recruiting "hoax's" to know that you don't believe everything another school reports, without some proof. Why are you believing the ags more than other sources? Hasn't anyone here been around long enough to remember all of the previous recruiting hoax's of past years.

Not saying he was or wasn't there. All I am saying is "show me the proof". And an aggies word is not proof!

Here is a twitter report from a few minutes ago,
