    247 definitely seemed confident. Wells was the only one from IT to put in a prediction. I know Gerry was saying for weeks that predictions for Texas from other sites were premature and even after Spiegelman put in a pick for Texas they said it was not a done deal.

    This was from their percentages article back in mid-July.

    Dominick McKinley, DL, Lafayette (La.) Acadiana

    Eric: 45%. We’ll see how motivated Texas is to win this recruitment when it counts. 

    Justin: 38%. What Gerry said, plus three. 

    Gerry: 35%. Texas will be one of three finalists. This one is a wildcard. Mom likes the academics at Texas, which helps. 

    Gerry was asked if he would be going to the commitment ceremony on the livestream like a week ago and he said no. I guess that should have made it clear to everyone what was going to happen.

    The important parts:

    Regarding Texas

    Dominick: “I love how Coach (Steve) Sark(isian) is really honest and he’s honest with all his players and his coaching staff, and how Coach Bo (Davis) is energetic and honest with you as well and they can get things rolling.”

    Angie: “We were able to visit them twice. A great staff. Coach Bo was very welcoming, was knowledgable, able to answer all our questions. Coach Sark he just text me a couple days ago. He’s always in touch. I feel confident they could grow Dominick in every aspect.”
     

    Regarding Texas A&M


    Dominick: “Love how Coach E(lijah) Robinson, Coach Tony (Jerod-Eddie) they treat all their players like they’re their own family. They have a great community and they take care of their players.”

    Angie: “I not only got to know the coaches, I got to know their families as well, where I knew they would text me after church, ‘how was church, we did that at church today.’ It was really like a family. I know that Coach Robinson has a great personality, one that Dominick can connect with. Coach Mason (Smith) is always texting Dom and keeping in touch. Even with me, they became like family as well.”

    Angie said her son has gone “back and forth” on his final two.

    “We’ll see what his final decision will be,” she said.

    "Anyone want to help me out with Roach's silver bullet metaphor? "

    The Silver Bullet to the military meant you were getting shot for the clap. I shall however assume otherwise based upon his reputation on this board. :)

    When I was in boot camp it meant you were getting a thermometer shoved up your ass after passing out. Gotta check that core temperature.
