Willie Sykes CB commits
- Thread starter ElComanche
- Start date
Willie Sykes is a 18 year old young man. He has to decide what is going to be best for him for the next 4 years. If he decides to stay with the cougs it is a wise choice. If he flips to Nebraska, He is only a two star and "we did not want him anyway". If he flips ,he flips and whatever he chooses to do,i hope it works out for the young man. It must be confusing for a young man with multi million dollar programs making big recruiting pitches to him.I wish the best for him .
the toughest thing about star predictions...
...is that even if the analysts do the best job possible of trying to equate the players today, they have no idea how they will develop physically or mentally over the next 3-5 years. And that plays a huge role with most of the kids. So while certain measurables and some comparison against reputable competition can get you a rough idea of where a kid stands today, it is no reliable measure of where he will be in a couple of years. God may know that, but the analysts don't, and we don't, either.
I think in many cases the coaching staffs look at the measurables in a very similar manner to the analysts, but in their intensive communication with the kid they are also looking for attitude, fortitude and other things that don't translate into something that a stop watch or video can reveal. But they are huge in helping determine whether the kid will put in the time and effort in the weight room, class room, and film room.

i guess that there is some stuff on Brand X where Sykes denies that he has flipped. As you know i am not a paid member so i am not privy to that board. i hope that it is true and he is still a coug. That would be a wise decision for Mr Sykes
There were no reports that Willie Sykes has flipped from Washington State to Nebraska in the first place.
I know that but your tweet found a life of its' own It made quite a few retweets and news on the husker board. There were a couple of husker fans congratulating themselves on Sykes' flip". There will be a lot of activity and rumors before National Signing Day. I hope that the cougs can hang on to their commits and add a couple of nice players. It would be a great signing class if that happens.
We have an Willie Sykes update on the front page. He talks about the Nebraska visit, current commitment to Washington State and a timetable for a "final decision."

The stories / tweets that made it sound like Taeon Mason was on the verge of flipping to WSU also look a bit silly now, and may even have been counterproductive to WSU's interests. This is coming from a guy as into recruiting as anyone.
The stories and tweets about Mason thinking about flipping to Washington State come directly from Mason's comments following an in-home visit with the Washington State coaching staff, which played a part in his immediate de-commitment.

I think he sticks. His chance of early PT is better at WSU if he is truly as good as he thinks that he is...and that will have to be proven where ever he goes, so why not stick?
He is going to come to Pullman.
He is going to come to Pullman.
Re: Appologies to one and all
for me it was james darling. i went down w/ my roommate the day after showing up on campus my freshman year (95) so he could meet w/ the head trainer. i couldn't stop watching darling. his motor was unbelievable. they were doing some kind of non (well, low anyway) contact drill, but he was still just flying around. he was everywhere at once.
