Maybe Stock and West will drive over and make an in-home visit to salvage the commitment.
I got a call yesterday from a friend, the uncle of Riverdale DE Javon Nelson. His dad and I have done business as well. Asked me to make a call to Memphis to see if there was any interest.
Good luck with that. I have a 13-year prior business relationship with his father and served on the school board with his uncle who is now Chairman of the FSSD Board. They reached out to me. When his uncle called me I had to look him up. I wasn’t even aware they were related. He’s a 3-star 6’3” 260 lb. DE. Surely Tommy West or Shafer has at least driven by Riverdale to visit him. I will ask if MT has been in contact with them.If he ends up at Memphis instead of MT, I now know the booster to point the NCAA at....
That’s news to me, too. I wasn’t aware he had committed to Coach Kyle Pope, the Memphis D-Line Coach until you posted this and I went back and looked him up.He shows to be committed to Memphis already?
Thought for sure you would be on the Tiger beat and know this. 🙄That’s news to me, too. I wasn’t aware he had committed to Coach Kyle Pope, the Memphis D-Line Coach until you posted this and I went back and looked him up.
I haven’t attended a single football game this year. Memphis or MTSU.Thought for sure you would be on the Tiger beat and know this. 🙄

😂. I did get my hand slapped back in 2004 for sending a “Congratulations!” card to Dave Thomas after he signed with Memphis but had not reported to campus.I was joking.
The sad part with the NCAA, Cecil Newton could shop Cam around for $180,000, admit it & Cam was suspended for <2 hours. The NCAA would give MT and Memphis the death penalty if you offered his uncle a cup of coffee.
I dont care how highly recruited or underrecruited Murfreesboro kids are. MT should be seriously looking at, if not offering every single one of them. It's amazing the amount of kids that go somewhere else.

NO...no offerGood luck with that. I have a 13-year prior business relationship with his father and served on the school board with his uncle who is now Chairman of the FSSD Board.

I have not heard back from them yet as to whether or not MT staff has even contacted them. I know that the kid’s verbal commitment and information I shared with my buddy down there was relayed directly to new HC Ryan Silverfield and I know he’ll definitely contact them if/when allowed. Ryan was the assistant who recruited and signed TJ Carter (Stratford) Obinna Eze (Davidson Academy) Rodney Owens (Ensworth) and Adam Williams (Wilson Central).If our coaches failed to look at the Riverdale kid they should all be fired on the spot. I would not be surprised if they did not. Bunch of losers.
My best guess is he’s prolly somewhere down their board but Memphis is willing to take a shot at him.WOW.....what happened to VA. VA Tech, Vandy, Ark and NC State?

Stock literally watched the kid play basketball at team camp over in the aux gym. Saw the kid dunk a basketball as a 6'1 sophomore( shows how athletic he is) as of midway through his junior year he still hadnt heard from Stock or any staff membersGood luck with that.

Good grief. And to think how much in demand athletic, 260 lb. defensive linemen are. Especially for G5 schools.Stock literally watched the kid play basketball at team camp over in the aux gym.

Just my guess but if I'm a local HS coach and see whats happening at MT I would not want one of my kids to go there.We're a long way from when I went to MT and were able to get in on large numbers of local kids. No longer do half the mid-state kids have high school coaches who played for "Bubber", no longer is playing on TV not a factor, no longer does a kid dismiss flying cross country to play, no longer are there no recruiting services and huge numbers of "hangers-on", and for darn sure no longer can MT have a coach who doesn't seem to give sh-t about what mid-state coaches think of him and his program.
It's called "complementary recruiting". Go after local kids early even if you think you can't get them and establish relationships with coaches in the area. You never know when you may be able to get the next prospect at their school.
I am somewhat connected to area high school programs and I get so tired of hearing that MT didn't even show up to ask about a kid who signs at a low high-major or $#&-major. Gotta be part of the reason our program is where it is.
I know it’s upsetting to lose a guy to Memphis but Javon was a hard lean to Vandy until West End got turned upside down last week. Other than showing a little interest in a local player there’s prolly nothing the current MT staff could have done to change his mind. He’s firm on signing early with the Tigers on Wed.These are just reasons like 102 and 103 why I’m so done. No one gives a F. Why should I? There is so much indifference, ineptness, or downright incompetence I just don’t give a damn anymore. They have burned me - one of the few die yards who has remained.
Instead of hashtagging EATT (wrongly) it should be #III. Oops I mean #I.I.I (aka #I. the way they would do it).
Who is the 3-star from Warren County?3 star Mr Football from Warren Country, 40 minutes down the road..... we didn‘t offer or recruit.
