GO Buford, Go Henry and Go King......Great decisions fellas...Go Big Blue!!!! We will all be watching and supporting you.

Edrell Smith is also there as a walk-on. With at least 4 ex-Warriors on the team, I may have to buy a season ticket. Especially since my Mississippi State Bulldogs have hit on some hard times.

That a boy Buford keep it in the Boro, and also to Henry, King, and Smith best wishes in the future hopefully ya'll will win championships and everything. From one Warrior to three other Warriors represent and show em how its done.

i thought buford committed to ohio state...what happened there?

[warriordawg31]

He did, but reconsidered. He said that he got caught up in the national championship stuff and had his head turned. Also, I think that he has relatives in Ohio.

 

It's not uncommon for someone to commit verbally and then change their mind. I am glad to see him stay at home, and I imagine his folks are too. Much shorter drive to the games

 

Go get 'em, little bit.

my thoughts on that is that the Ohio State coach doing the recruiting made an offer or the promise of an offer and when the head man saw they had other higher rated linemen available to them he nixed the offer but it was never communicated to Buford who was left to twist slowly in the wind while the Buckeyes got other commitments from linemen they wanted more. Unscrupulous, but that seems to be something that a lot of BCS schools do.

 

We are very glad to have Mr. Buford as a Blue Raider, like his father before him.

He's not Brett Trott.

 

Buford has been reconsidering for sometime. Even before they won the national championship.

[warriordawg31]

I think all kids reconsider when they are in that position. Unless it has been a life long dream for someone to play at a certain school, then it is easy for a 17-18 year old to have their heads turned. I think Kenyan really believed he was going to Ohio State when he verbally committed there, but upon reflection realized he could play major college football without leaving his family behind.

 

I did not mean to make it sound like the national championship caused him to choose OSU. But it is hard to not be impressed by something like that.

I heard that Rico Turner may soon be joining them. Has anyone else heard this? Seems he wants to rejoin his boys so they will be able to play on the same team together again.

[RealGoEagles]

I haven't heard anything about Turner being offered by Middle.

Rumor has it, Turner, Gilliam, and Maupin are all going on an official visit to Cumberland U. this week together! They could possibly do some damage early at a school like CU! Good luck guys, call if you need anything!
