Nice to see us in on a bunch of good looking kids this early. And Nik, kudos to you - you are back to the recruiting monster you were a few years ago.

Damion Daniels' teammate, can't imagine the poor middle of the OL trying to block them lol.

 

[TDforTD]

Made his top 12 fwiw.

 

[HawaiiBUFF]

I want this kid over anyone else. It would be great if we could finally close a 4 Star DT from HS.

Those emojis that kids try to pass off as a buffalo.....smh.

 

[TDforTD]

So I take back the "fwiw," - sounds like he's been very interested in us.

So where is the consensus four-star recruit looking right now? Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Colorado, Ohio State.

Sounds like A&M is the current favorite but maybe we get a visit. He visited Nebraska and didn't commit.

Promising title for this article if anyone has a sub:

If we can get him to Boulder for the BBQ on the 29th, I'll feel like we have a shot. Otherwise, I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

From his twitter, I get the feeling he is a TCU lean. Seems pretty receptive to Colorado though and Broussard is reaching out to him.

Calvin also recently started following Clyde Moore, Josh Jynes, Ray Robinson, and Daniel Arias among a handful of others.

This kid would be an absolute monster here.

Tea leaves read like gold
Interesting, but hold breath
Jeffcoat is chilling

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

Add Stenstrom and Gustav to the players that have reached out to Avery.

I had to say the alphabet in my head, but that list is not in alphabetical order.

C-I-O-T-U

Why do you assume "U" for USC, but not for "U of I"? CU an OU are not formal acronyms. "SC" is the equivalent for the Trojans. C'mon dudehead, I looking for positives here.

For the same reason I wouldn't think "C" for UCLA. But rock on. Maybe Avery's head is in the same place as your's.

You're wrong again. UCLA falls under "f".

C-I-O-T-U

At least it wasn't "I-O-T-C-U." I wish it was "I-T-O-C-U" though. Maybe he's saying, "CU, I owe you. TCU, U SuCk!!"

Was he at the BBQ?

No.
