As much as I was all for this kid getting to UT out of HS, I just don't see any need at all for a Juco WR in this class.
If Butch can get Jackson to walk-on, he can get Patrick too as well.
That would be awesome but if he gets his grades right he will have some pretty nice scholarship offers IMO. It would be hard to turn down getting your school paid for as opposed to paying for it yourself for a lot of people (myself included).
Every so often, I hop over to the East MS website to see if Patrick shows up on their roster. The 2014 roster page is blank at the moment ... but ... I did find this on the NJCAA site listing East MS players who signed letters of intent:
Patrick, Camion West Harriman, TN Men's Football Signed 08-16-2014
NJCAA | Colleges | East Mississippi Community College | Football | Letter of Intent Signees
So the kid is giving it another shot. We'll see if it sticks this time. It would be a great story if he finally signed with a school and made good on all that talent.
Nice to see, hope it works out for the kid.
While you're looking, find anything on Greg Miclisse?opcorn:
Ya know, funny you said that. I did go do some web-snooping for Miclisse last week. The most recent information I found on him was from his Twitter page. He stopped posting in March and said he had to go get ready for the "Next level". In February, he was on Indiana's radar to sign a letter of intent but it never happened. A mod on their site thought it was a grades issue. He doesn't turn up anywhere else, though. Seems like a weird/sad situation.
FYI .. his brother plays DB at Carson Newman.
Following Itawamba's first of 11 punts on the evening, freshman Camion Patrick fielded Jeb Millender's kick and sped 75 yards down the right sideline into the end zone to make the score 14-0 with 8:40 left in the period. Patrick, a Knoxville, Tenn., native, then broke off a 52-yard return on ICC's subsequent punt, though the effort did not lead to any EMCC points.
The visitors produced three more touchdowns in the third quarter, beginning with Kelly's 39-yard scoring pass to Patrick at the 11:19 mark.
