2015 Recruiting Season is in full swing

Randolph Duke said:
Does anyone else wonder if Daylon Mack has the maturity and focus to make it as a FBS athlete, especially in a system like Coach Strong's? The guy seems like an attention whore. I understand the attention can get a bit exciting for an 18 year old kid, but Mack seems more than a bit extreme.

I honestly don't see where anyone gets that from? He handles it a lot better than I would at 18.

I think that Boyd is more.... but I would agree that he seems to be all over the place with his recruitment. ...

I have been wondering the same on a couple of these kids. Hopefully it is just a little immaturity.

I am willing to give Charlie the benefit of the doubt and believe he will keep them in line.

Seriously? The kid seems to live for attention from social media. He's playing the fan bases at Texas, TCU and aggy and he has been going it for months. Personally, I question if he has the humility and focus to make it with the demands of major college football.

Maybe indecisive? Not sure how that makes him an attention whore though...

Yes, seriously? It is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If it were me I'd take every OV I could. Sorry, he enjoying his moment that he busted his ass off to get here (the humility and focus comes in here) He worked his ass off to become a 5 star and now he is stopping for a moment to enjoy it. Just because his twitter or his time schedule doesn't appease you doesn't make him attention whore. Does it drive me crazy? Yes, but that is because I want him at Texas so bad. However, I'm glad he is enjoying it. Like I said, only happens once for him! He earned it.

Who said anything about his time schedule? I'm talking about his propensity for drawing attention to himself being materially different than the overwhelming majority of other recruits. I personally couldn't care less if or when he commits to UT. I'm just getting the sense he is overly needing attention and thinking that doesn't seem to be a trait that will serve him well at the next level, especially under a system like that of Coach Strong.

Successful organizations have certain traits and one of those isn't having key individuals constantly draw attention to themselves. I'm just getting the vibe this kid might have some trouble if he can't live without constant personal attention.
