Goodness, offers are raining!

[hhcmatt]

Ended up at Florida St

It may be early so I didn't want to create a thread but his 5 star brother who was committed to Florida State just reopened his recruitment.

Robin did tweet that was it... “for now”

 

*EDIT*. I am confusing two different tweets.  NVM this post.

When is the last time a guy decommitted and then recommitted?

'I am decommitting but keeping you guys in the mix' is the recruiting version of 'I think we should see other people'

[hhcmatt]

McGowens committed as a 4 star and now is a 5 star in the class of 2021.

Seems like a guy that is going to Herro his way to Kentucky as opposed to a guy looking to play at his brother's school where there are zero publicly available scholarships

While the odds are low, I wouldn't put it past them to have an open line of communication with the family through trey and the coaches.  Trey could one it and want an opportunity to play one year with his little brother and then hand the reins over to him for the future.  Eventually one of these decades I hope there will be a player that wants to be "the legend" instead of being the next in line.  One can hope at least.

I had also forgotten that we had offered him already so there was an existing thread

Also heard he was good friends with Wilhelm and the guard we got from NJ??? for this past class?

[millerhusker]

Apparently he and Elijah Wood are friends.

Elijah Wood.

They were going to play together at basketball factory Lincoln Academy in NC until the school shut down.

What color is his basement?

It actually happens more than you'd think, and just notably happened a week ago.  Different sport obviously but Deion Colzie (one of the top wide receivers in the 2021 class) just recommitted to Notre Dame after "opening his recruitment" 6 months previously.

[hskr4life]

You have to wonder how much "traction" we'd have here.  One of the better possibilities in a while?

[thrasher31]

Some things are working in our favor here, but he's going to have his choice of schools. Until I see something that puts us in favor not reading into this too much

Bryce McGowens -> Flordia St

 

Once he found out there was no such thing as the state of Flordia, he had no choice but to decommit.  

[Fullbacksympathy]

I’ve been wondering if this was a possibility.  
 

We’d contend for the B1G title with this kid.
 

I think this has serious potential, and we would not hesitate to carve out a spot.

Interesting to note that Bryce McGowens had been teammates with Carter Whitt on an AAU team. Oh what could (have been) be!

[imnothipp]

Just watched his highlights. He looks to be very well rounded. His range is off the charts. 

[colhusker]

It just takes one!  (one of these times it's going to happen).
