Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but this information combined with the Giles tweet last night and VBs moms tweet saying she is hook'ed has me a little excited. Cautiously excited.

May just be me but I just don't get people think that what Mom wants or what the family wants is going that big of influence. In our case our son had choices where to go play golf and our daughter had choices on where to go be a cheerleader. Yes, we talked with both of them, but the choice was entirely theirs and we didn't try to influence at all where they eventually chose to go.

Yup. Winning the parents in some cases can hold a lot of sway and potentially give a school an edge, but that doesn’t always prove to be the difference in some cases.
If my kid had a choice between two schools and I preferred one over the other for whatever reason, I would certainly let them know my preference. It doesn't mean I would force them, of course. Remember, Broughton did say he would sit down with mom and grandma and discuss the plusses and minuses, so he apparently looks at this as a family decision.

I didn't know that either until they made Bryson Washington's commitment video. I don't think they make a ton of commit videos.

Yeah, but Giles doesn't. We should be grateful that Giles got that one off without injuring himself. lol
I hate to be that guy who always tries to connect the dots, but these dots are connecting pretty well.
Come on down, Broughton. Chris Thompson, what are you waiting for?
NTG – almost every recruit sits down with their family (or says they do) to formulate decisions along the way as well as a final decision. The whole thing is a set up for influence from mom and dad. Sometimes mom wins. But she won't put him in a situation where he's unhappy. lol So its a coin toss. lol

Suchomel update on Broughton
Don't think so. I was told by nothing has changed from the report given to me while I was in Atlanta, which had Texas behind A&M and Ohio State. If the family changes his mind, crazy things could happen but if what I was told is true (and it comes from an impeccable source) it's not 50/50.
I asked him if this was about right and he agreeed
Aggy 65%
Texas 25%
OSU 15%
IT does not seem to have a clue. They said earlier it was 50-50

My mistake – it's August 2, not August 1.
This is a change in his original plan so yeah, his mind is made up.
