Jordan Hicks (Philadelphia Eagles)

[RB07OSU]

Couldn't he just miss the first week? It's common for students to drop and pickup classes two weeks (sometimes three) into a course and with Hicks being a top notch football player, I'm sure they could accomodate.

I think you would still need to be registered by the deadline, which is Friday.

For you yes. For me yes.

For a 5 star LB I am sure there are exceptions.

Fred Davis committed to USC a week after their semester started, took a red eye to LA and started classes a few days later.

Hicks isn't being recruited by Pete "You're my #1 guy" "I'm not leaving because of pending NCAA investigations" Carroll, either. Mack Brown doesn't play that.

My point is that we stand in a signifcantly better position now than we did several weeks/months ago...the longer Jordan waits to decide, the better it is for us.

That I certainly agree with.

I agree that Mack is a quality guy and probably doesn't play the same games. Having said that, I can only assume that Jordan will make the decision that he feels is best for him and I would assume that while early enrollment might be part of the decision, it's likely not a deciding factor....meaning that UT could very well still be part of the equation even if he makes no decision this week.

I don't guess anything I've said goes against your comments since you're only suggesting we're in a better position and not a definite position.

I'm an advisor. My school's semester started this week. I'll be registering students until Tuesday, and not a single one of them is a linebacker.

Very true, IMO.

I'm pretty sure they have until the end of the add/drop period.

In the case of University of Texas that would be Fri. Jan. 22.

?Texas State Gators?
Posted by mdyer January 14th, 2010

Lakota West football coach Larry Cox said a few minutes ago that Lakota West senior LB Jordan Hicks is still considering his options and there is no timetable on when he might make a college decision.

Cox said there is ?no clear-cut favorite? at this time. He acknowledged Hicks could commit to a school at anytime. It could be even Feb. 3 (National Signing Day) or beyond.

Cox said he and Hicks did a TV interview with a Columbus station today.

Cox has jokingly told Hicks to tell the media he is going to the ?Texas State Gators,? which is an obvious reference to a combination of schools Hicks is considering. (There is a Texas State University football program, but its nickname is the Bobcats).

Hicks, rated the nation?s No. 4 player overall in the 2010 class by ESPNU, is considering (no particular order) Texas, Ohio State and Florida as his final three choices.

Can't resist...I know I should know better as an admin, but c'mon...

That's a shame. Maybe you can bulk up a couple of safeties.

Since you went down the path, I'd prefer...

Now back to Jordan. :osu:
