I don't think the "we" part is smart. If the athlete chooses to switch positions, fine. But to tell him one thing when you plan on another, that'll eventually find its way to high school coaches who will then not want Fleck coming to their practices.

I interviewed for a software job once. The company was desperate for any software talent they could find. They grossly misrepresented what I would be doing once I started. It wasn't but a month or so before I was looking for a new opportunity again and I found one.

Point is, that employer came out negative for "tricking" me into a job I didn't want. I collected some paychecks, provided almost nothing in return for them, and then was gone rather quickly. And now I'd tell anyone I know to avoid the place.

We seem pretty stacked at TE in this class, but don't know much about this guy.

He wasn't offered and I wasn't necessarily meaning we would. He had/had offers from Kansas State, Washington State, NDSU and Wyoming. I'm that will change having changed his mind and opened things back up. He committed to Arkansas way back in March.

Kansas State still doesn't have a TE commitment.
 




Looks like a plan B is going to be needed.
 






Both formerly committed Kai Meza of Utah and Daniel McMorris of Oklahoma commit to......Cal, not a great sign that the resources are there for Cal and not us clearly as we're firmly in the Cal echelon of schools.

Was committed to Ohio St. Wonder what happened there.
From the GI article:

Thomas committed to Ohio State on June 25th, but then decommitted on Monday afternoon. Here's what Garrick Hodge of Bucknuts wrote afterwards.
‌
"Speculation Thomas could decommit first ramped up when he attended Florida State's contest against Miami on Oct. 4, the same game former OSU tight end commit Corbyn Fordham attended, as the former Buckeye pledge flipped to the Seminoles the night before. Thomas already had strong family ties to FSU as his father, Eric, played for the Seminoles from 1995-1999. It's unclear if Thomas will land with FSU or another team at the moment.

Let's just get this out of the way first. I don't think Ohio State was all that sad when Thomas started to look around. In fact, a source told Bucknuts the Buckeyes were OK with Thomas exploring fits at other schools. Though Thomas only made the decommitment public recently, the writing had been on the wall for a while, as Ohio State had stopped considering him as part of the class long before the announcement."
 



Can I ask the deep football minds something I am curious about. It seems that the coaching staff targets mostly taller bodies that more typically fit into the tackle position. I would say the taller bodies are typically harder to find so never a bad thing, but a problem with it seems with our run game is we don't get off the ball greatly to get any push and I feel like the shorter stout kind of body is better for that? I'm not upset by any means of getting these more highly ranked kids into the program especially since we never know which ones will pan out, but wouldn't one or two guys who are projected to be inside o-line type of bodies make sense?
