He did not send any video highlights of himself to the previous coaching regime and he was being recruited by schools the former staff was afraid of
He actually did send video highlights, but they came in .mp4 format, JJ didn't know what to do with it since it wasn't a VHS cassette.

Good lord...a 6.4, 280 lb TE (that can block, presumably) would be pretty awesome to have hangin' around.

You mean he upgraded from the Betamax?

OK. A 6-4, 280 lb OT that runs a 5.1 40, runs the 20 yard shuttle in under 4.5, and can check in as a TE when needed?
Oh, and don't forget he's probably not an academic issue since he's at an upper end private high school?
Yes please.
Either way, I want this kid on our team.

so do 57 others. Is there a reason we think we have any shot or are we just jacking around here?

Because he expressed interest to SMU before HCCM arrived. Our fearless leader at the time didn't think it was important to reach out/offer him though

I don't think we have a shot personally but I like the effort. Maybe two or three years from now we would.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "in the hunt for him through SD in '16 if not land him" mean?
