'17 TX ATH KD Nixon (Former UT commit)

[CrunchingTheVolz]

I think Tyler Byrd is gonna become a huge weapon in the slot, and I think KD knew that.

I agree Byrd will be a weapon on offense. I doubt that impacted Nixon's decision as we play ALOT of WRs.

Kids always look at their competition on the roster. It might not have impacted his decision, but he's aware of it. I think the platooning of WRs will end as 2 or 3 step up, hopefully this year.

He only just now found out he was gonna have to compete with p Williams for balls. Lol. See ya

I really hate losing this guy. Other than Dormady we seem to have a hard time recruiting Texas.

Only reason you care is because he had a 4* next to his name.

Everybody WASN'T praising this pickup from the beginning.

Right on, bro. Not many free thinkers in this world and definitely not many on VN. I can only think of you and I that questioned KD's ability translating to the SEC but I'm sure others thought it too (hindsight will probably make this look even more obvious -- I mean he's 5'6 or 5'7 with average at best WR speed) and just didn't express the opinion on the board. VN doesn't take to kindly to views that aren't inline with the consensus.

At 5'7 he was never gonna compete with P.Will. Maybe Smitty and Byrd

Either way, I'm not losing sleep over the decommitment tbh.

I'm in a high end funny farm. We've got WiFi in our padded rooms.

This explains a lot

When I watch his film blocking field goals I get really in a good mood lol. Can't wait to see him play. Nixon being commited here probably got him some more attention at least. I wish him the best wherever he ends up. Us Smurfs gotta stick together .

IIRC, At this point last year we only had three 4 stars committed. JG, Osborne, and Johnson.

So the sky isn't actually falling.

A program with the trajectory we're on is gonna wind up with a top 7 or 8 class. Butch always makes a late push, four of our top '16 recruits committed after Jan. 21.

Go Big Damn Orange

Do we know what happened here? Were the coaches trying hard to keep Nixon?

Doesn't sound like it

We've wasted a lot of time and energy recruiting texas players over the years--Fulmer made it a priority of sorts--and seldom has it worked out.

If you want to stay in Texas instead of coming to Tennessee you have a screw loose, trust me I know!

Wish the kid good luck.

 

[CWGvol]

Wasn't that good, too small, overrated, didn't want him anyway, he'd never play, higher guys on the board, he wasn't a 3 star, too slow, too fast, bad hands, bad feet, bad hair. Did I miss anything?

Two months ago, do a 180 on all of the above, lol.
