It has been about a month since c2p posted. He said at that time it was a UT/UL battle. He did post one time that his job caused him to travel a lot.

Yeah, but he was also consistently showing up every week then, even with his job. He's been MIA since. It could be all sorts of things, but I don't like that he suddenly disappeared.

So since this close2poona fellow is incarcerated, dead, or just a fraud, what did he send you guys like Eric/Ron that made you believe him? I remember someone of that group said "trust me" and I blindly did, but I'm very skeptical at this point. Would anyone of you guys mind sharing what was in that email? TIA

Since the topic arose again, I will bump my post from earlier today....

Maybe the trust me part was them verifying that he knew Poona and was close to him? His silence is a bad omen I'm afraid. It would have to be usce, Louisville or Ohio state right? Usce is tight on spots and I thought he didn't care too much for urban. Strong must be about to close this one out. Hope I'm wrong and he sees the light

Size-Strength-Speed
A compactly built defensive tackle prospect who is physical and at times disruptive. Has marginal height, but is a thickly built player who carries a good amount of bulk on his frame and possesses a good wingspan for his height.

Versus the Run
Can be an explosive kid who is capable of disrupting with penetration, but snap anticipation can be inconsistent and as a result he can be late off the ball at times. Lacks ideal height, but can fire out low, get under a blocker's pads with his thick, compact frame, uncoil at contact and stand him up. When he brings his hands he displays the strength to extend and shed, but needs to work to more consistently shoot his hands and utilize his reach to keep blockers off of him. Can be a physical wrap-up tackler with run-through ability.

Pass Rush Skills
As a pass rusher flashes the ability to be violent with his weapons, but needs to keep developing his hand usage. Has bull rush ability to press the pocket.

Toughness/Motor
Flashes the ability to come across the line and quickly flatten. Shows a good motor with solid range.

Bottom Line
Ford lacks ideal height and it could be a concern, but he is a thickly built and strong prospect with a good reach. Needs to be more consistent in areas and keep developing in others, but he shows flashes of being able to be a tough and at times disruptive interior D-Tackle.

Yeah I'm still wondering. IIRC ACVol got the email and said something like trust me. I'm 99% sure Ron didn't say that.

Anyways I will leave it alone, but VN would appreciate answers.

C2P emailed me that day way back when he emailed Eric too. Not sure what he told Eric or anyone else but all he said to me was the same stuff he said on here plus he revealed who he was. That's it. If he wants to reveal who he is publicly on here, he can, but I don't want to do that for him.

Either way, I think his silence is a bad thing and I doubt Poona ends up a Vol. Hope I'm wrong.

Thanks Ron.... certainly NOT the news we all wanted to hear, but it is what we were thinking

UL? WTF. Is that because TN and SC have backed off him? It doesnt' seem like much is going on with him and Tennessee anymore though. You dont hear his name mentioned at all when it comes to the guys being talked about for these final DL spots.

Maybe he has went quiet so he could try and get some interest from other school for his HS teammates. I heard a lot of that is going around. :p

hope we can change his mind!! He is a Freak!!! Fast!!! plays some fullback and Tight End. His film in youtube is off the chart. I DO NOT understand why he is rated a 3 star.

Have you thought about emailing him? I don't know if that's appropriate.

I emailed him about a month ago and he said it was down to UT and UL and he would decide mid July. And since that never happened and we haven't heard anything new, doesn't feel like UT in the end.

I'll email him again and see if he has any news he wants to share.
