[Sean]

Steven Threet

[DuckGT]

A.J. Jenkins - Illinois

 

[DuckGT]

Steven Threet

Didn't he enroll, but transfered?

 

[Techster]

A.J. Jenkins - Illinois

Really? I don't remember that he ever committed to us.

He did go on to be a high draft pick for the 49ers. Same year Stephen Hill was drafted by the Jets.

 

[Eric]

Yeah AJ chose us over Florida.

Yeah, I believe he committed to Chan but switched after the coaching change.

 

[Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau]

A few of our recent (past 4-5 years) flipped commits that I can remember off the top of my bead are listed below. Please add to the list over the next few days, and later in the week I'll post each player's career stats. I'm always curious how these guys turn out but have never done a deep dive into it.


Will Adams: OL, Auburn
A. Willis: WR, Wake Forest
S. Tuitt: DL, Notre Dame
Trey Flowers: DL, Arkansas
Damon Mitchell: QB/WR/S, Arkansas
Brandon Douglas: RB, UGA
Antonio Crawford: CB, Miami
Tre Jackson: OL, FSU
Jeremi Hall: OL, USF
Q. Morgan: RB, (school unknown)
Dante Aycock: QB/RB, Auburn
(someone fill in the name...): CB, Mississippi State

The linebacker from Macon that went to Vanderbilt

 

[stinger 1957]

I think we suggested Renfree de commit because he would not fit the incoming coach's offense(CPJ)

 

[Madison Grant]

Carlos Thomas - USCe
Marvin Sapp - USCe

Good ones. Didn't Carlos Thomas have trouble getting in due to grades? Sapp wanted to major in criminal justice and be an FBI agent or something.

I suspect that more than a few of these guys had academic admittance issues leading to their flip.

 

[DvilleJacket]

Who was the Qb that was going to come in before Gailey got fired? Kid had a huge arm I remember. Not talking about Renfree. This kid loved GT.

 

[DvilleJacket]

It was Drew Little. You remember him guys?

 

[cuttysark]

@DvilleJacket: Steven Threet. 6' 6" kid. He went to Michigan then left when Rich Rodriguez was hired. Transferred to Arizona State I believe then got caught up there with another spread Coach; Todd Graham.

Jonathan Garner?

 

[dressedcheeseside]

Nick Marshall was a silent commit if you wanna include that.

And a silent decommit, as well.

 

[thwgjacket]

Q Morgan! forgot all about him..

Junior Gnonkonde - UNC

Did Gnonkonde flip? I thought he couldn't get in so he had to change schools.

 

[Eric]

Did Gnonkonde flip? I thought he couldn't get in so he had to change schools.

Still a decommit.

 

[TechPhi97]

Carlos Thomas - USCe
Marvin Sapp - USCe

Carlos was denied admission, not flipped.
