ARon Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Usually it take bigs a year to give up on Ford. https://twitter.com/brock_vice/status/1646923411338457088?s=46&t=eDxgbPtYwvlcUGge2n8_Sw thetorch likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I was convinced he was going to be a star. This sucks. Now we need 3 big men in the portal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Not saying he is going to North Texas. But sure would seem to be somewhat tied to Phil Forte leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I know its unlikely, but can't we just say "No." I get the arguments about not wanting a kid to play somewhere he doesn't want to be, but if every kid gets let out of their commitments every time they ask, then commitments to a school don't mean anything.

The phrasing of his statement almost sounds like SLU is trying to say no and he's going public with the request. But the phrasing also makes it seem like he could still end up here.

BIG BILL FAN Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Maybe all the Ford haters finally convinced him he could do better??? Be proud of your efforts, they certainly didn't hurt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 If he is still considering us, it's time for the BVF to do its thing. If he's not, it's time for the BVF to do it's thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 How often have you seen a de-commit re-commit? Forte finally delivers on a couple recruits and 1 de-commits. Is CJ Noland on de-commit watch now? Probably de-committed because of negative message board posters. He'll end up at a School with really positive fans. billikenbill, thatskablamo, BrettJollyComedyHour and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 SLU made more sense for Vice when his family was living in Germantown. Short trip to SLU for the family to watch him and easy drives or flights to watch him at road games at other A10 schools. SLU is harder sell when the family is living in Vegas.

Even the strongest voices aren’t tweeting at recruits “the coach sucks don’t play for him.” He spelled it out in his graphic when he explicitly thanked Phil Forte why he’s leaving. Brock is close with Forte, and he’s no longer here. Apologies that doesn’t fit your narrative, but it’s the truth.

Not because the dude that recruited him left just some internet chatter. If Forte is at UNT, Waxahachie is much closer to Denton than St. Louis. Also Denton is on the drive south from Norman past Winstar on the left. Better check on CJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
