WR Eric Fuller

[DrunkOffPunch]

This is probably as close to an explanation as any:

Kinda weird how this came out of nowhere without even a visit. Hope we are not just a place holder til something better comes along.

Careful....back then Rike Miley and I were negative nancies for pondering this

He had "better" offers already, so not sure it holds weight.

When one commits sight unseen that early in the process, plenty of weight is being held.

But then you get a kid like Willie Hampton that does the same thing and stays with it.
It's just difficult to predict although Fuller seems likely to go based on info swirling.

You make a valid point but there is also a difference between a mid-four-star in Los Angeles and a low-three-star.

You could throw guy Thomas in the commit unseen argument but I'm not sure which side he'd go in. He wasn't exactly a solid commit down the stretch but we ended up keeping him.

Didn't Willie Hampton have an uncle that played at Nebraska?? So at least he had some connection to nebraksa

IIRC Greg Simmons' godfather was Wonder Monds or something like that.

That's right, my bad

anything about him attending FNL this summer or the Redlands camp we're going to be at? If he doesn't make either of those you can probably yank the commit tag off his profile

Down to .9180. Started somewhere around .95 I believe. Ratings wise it's making the inevitable decommitment easier to take.

Ouch. Someone at Scout doesn't like him. Went from the #11 WR to #60.

Rumors swirling on another board that he either is in jail or facing jail time. No one saying/knows for what.

So perhaps coming here is no longer an option for him, one way or the other.

Benning said nobody considers him part of the class fwiw

 

[BigRedBuster]

This is a really odd recruitment.

I just noticed that 247 still claims he is a commit. I'm assuming he will stay that way until he publicly says something to the contrary.

Do we know what happened here? Did our staff cool on him? Did he cool on us? What was the basis for Benning's statement?

Well, that should be easy for a football recruiting journalist to find out.

 

[Warrior10]

I read on another board that he isn't enrolled in the California Public Schools system.

Possibilities involving that are: he moved, is in juvenile/detention center or is dropped out of school.

All speculation though. This kid had been living in a rough neighborhood and didn't have a cell phone/internet even when he was fully committed and enrolled at Hawkins.

A supposed cousin of Fuller on twitter responded "it's a shame he's facing so much time" and confirmed he's in jail.

But it's the internet so who knows.

Young man will be in my thoughts.
