OL prospect heads south

[PonyFan]

It's being reported that OL Chad Smith (6-6, 295) of Allen, Texas, has committed to Baylor, after also receiving offers from SMU, Kansas, and a couple other schools.

I know it's a decent school, but why anyone would want to go there when you have other options is beyond me.

Not so fast my friend!

Smith's scholarship offers were from SMU, Kansas, West Virginia, Tulane, Tulsa and Baylor High. The former Allen HS coach is now an assistant at West Virginia, so it's a little surprising he didn't end up with the Mountaineers. His decision is a shame, though, because he's a great prospect.

Not so fast my "Not so fast friend".

He hasn't signed on any dotted line yet. I hope we don't give up on a kid just because he has given a verbal commit somewhere...you know the other schools aren't giving up on the kids who have given us verbals.

Not so fast, my friend!

Good point, PK. If we'd given up on recruits in the past who previously had committed elsewhere, we never would have gotten Chris Cunningham (Texas A&M), Jamey Harper (TCU), and who knows how many others.

Hey, wait a minute .... when you say "Not so fast my "Not so fast friend", does that mean you're calling me slow?
