That is huge. He is an interesting guy. Does not say much about recruiting ever, so has been hard to read.
But this development says more than words perhaps.
The most recent string of CB predictions have almost all been UCLA (he OVd there in Oct). But its been two weeks since the latest.
We have had more than a few über-talented offensive players over the years who, I thought, we did not take full advantage of. Daje is probably the most recent example. If I were Soso, I would be asking about his. How will you use me? How will you take advantage of my skillset? Where do I fit into this offense? What is this offense even about?
He is a good basketball player too

Burton has been beating that drum for a while. It doesn't mean they are going Air Raid - but from everything Burton has heard Strong understands they need to implement elements to better incorporate the talent they have on campus and in the state - and he has conveyed that message to the offensive staff, through words and action..

With all that has been transpiring over the last few days, can someone post an update of where we are sitting numbers wise? I mean, it seems like there are a lot of interested guys out there right now and we may be back to having to play the numbers game again. Thanks.

CB Deandre Baker of Miami is one of the uncommitted OVs this weekend. His height listing varies from 5'10 to 6'0 (HUDL says 6'0)
With Davante Davis wanting to join Tim Irvin at Auburn, Baker becomes an important visit.
He is currently a "sift verbal commit" to Georgia
Word is that his dad loves him some Charlie Strong, and Vance Bedford has been recruiting Deandre since Louisville.
He also runs track -- was all-state in FLA track. Ran a 21.65 in the 200, and a 48.07 in the 400.
"A natural man-coverage defender, Baker has great reactions to the ball in the air and is an adept tackler as well. However, poor ball skills and less-than-elite hold Baker back from being the kind of player who could start from day one at the college level."
His HUDL film is called the "No Fly Zone" http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3029738/highlights/67328375
Here is Baker covering highly ranked WR Van Jefferson

Dunno about Lampkin's kinfolk, but he is coming.
Strickland is tentative only. Probably wont know until Friday whether he comes or not
Wow - long ways from Gilmer.
Where are you in Newfoundland? I have a customer in Gander. Assuming I keep them this year, I will probably visit Spring/Summer.
