Recruits are usually the last to know, unfortunately.
Hopefully Omenihu is speaking to Strong or Rumph because OrangeBloods and 24/7 are saying it's done.
Hopefully he's right.

Wasn't trying to sell him short. Locksley is an elite athlete and I think he could eventually become one of the best players in the big12. Just not at QB.
Locksley had 6 passing touchdowns and 14 rushing touchdowns his senior year in high school. Locksley passed for a total of 950 yards.
Manziel passed for 3,559 yards with 44 passing touchdowns and 5 interceptions his senior year in HS. He also ran for 1,695 yards for 30 touchdowns putting him at 74 total touchdowns his senior year.
I would say there is a little bit of a difference there.
Now Locksley is Manziel. Locksley is a fine athlete as I have said but he isn't a QB. Good luck with that.
RobbieAndreu: According to a source, Chris Rumph has not accepted the defensive line coach job at Florida yet. He's been offered.
Interesting. Now 24/7 is saying Rumph had a meeting with Strong this morning to talk things over.
Rumph is supposed to sit down with his family this afternoon and make a decision.
playblair-
Thanks for rounding up those videos. Good stuff.
Kyle_nap: Cedar Hill High School in Texas had 19 players sign D1 LOI. The entire state of Oregon had 16.
That's a crazy stat.
Hopefully Texas gets the coach who produces all of that Cedar Hill talent.
The other little difference is that Johnny was a 3 star recruit. Locksley a 4.Locksley had 6 passing touchdowns and 14 rushing touchdowns his senior year in high school. Locksley passed for a total of 950 yards.

Just throwing this out there for anyone who was somehow disappointed with Texas' class.
UT was the only school in the Top 20 recruiting classes with a losing record.
So should we assume 4 star Locksley will go on to have a better career than little 3 star Johnny ?
Hope this happens...
He was the greyshirt, right?
Correct. As of right now, he wouldn't enroll until Spring 2016.
Bring him in with Locksley and keep looking for an experienced transfer, imo.
the point is there was no assumption anywhere that Johnny was even going to have a moderate college football career.......let alone play QB.
Pointing out Johnny's high school stats is irrelevant to what scouts believed his potential was.
If you were to put Johnny in this class, very few would believe he'd be better than Kai.
Chip Kelly obviously believed Johnny had potential. The knock on him was his size. Coaches and scouts are starting to look past that more and more now (see:kyler murray).
Yeah, Kelly apparently had an eye that everyone else didn't have. Mariota was also a three star.
Why so hung up on imaginary stars? Football was considered a Top 15 dual-threat QB and a Top 50 player in the state. Mariota was considered a Top 15 dual-threat QB and the 2nd best player out of Hawaii. Not sure why you are acting like they came out of nowhere bc they were only 'three stars'.
not sure why you're acting like you or anyone else knew he was gonna be better than average, much less the best player in football.
it's not like his offer list was that great.
Lol imaginary stars
I did but I was probably biased bc he was a local guy. IIRC The Reckoning has proof here on ST that he called it. So there's one person, and I'm sure there's plenty of others...most likely the ones that took the time to watch his film instead of coming to conclusions based on stars.
I'm pretty sure the schools that passed on him didn't care much about his stars either.I did but I was probably biased bc he was a local guy.

Congrats to the two of you for "calling it". Lol.
You think schools passed on him because a pay site only gave him 3 stars?
Besides since when is a measly three star having a moderate college career considered a reach? You'd think only 4 or 5 stars see the field the way you make it sound.
but muh stars
