I thought so too at first glance, but I believe that is just his official offer letter from Army.

Oldflame is correct.

Anthony's announced commitment date has come and gone. I can definitely understand his deciding to wait, because I believe he has received some new and attractive offers recently, but considering the way he announced it, saying he did not want his recruitment to distract from his senior year with his HS team, I would think a simple tweet that recent developments have led him to delay his decision would be in order. This just further demonstrates that setting a commitment date is unnecessary, and in most cases not a good idea.

If y'all go to Ballard's twitter you will notice a lot of Liberty retweets from Baylor and other Liberty Football videos. But something I noticed this morning was he and Micheal Lewis have communicated on twitter. Ballard was obviously excited for Lewis's commit to LU. I may be over-analyzing but I think Ballard's interest in LU is about to become a FULL commitment here soon.

[BJWilliams]

This is why I said Lewis could prove helpful just like Queen's commit in maybe getting more guys on board

[FlamesHighontheTide]

He is headed to Memphis today on an official visit. However, Memphis has "yet" to offer him. I still REALLY like our chances to land him.

[Kricket]

Unfortunately it was probably a good day for Memphis to have him on campus considering they toppled UCLA.

[Class of 20Something]

Need some urgency to get him here.

[jinxy]

Visiting army.

[Sly Fox]

The only thing of note for him since his West Point visit was an offer from Tennessee-Martin.

[jinxy]

Signing at 215 presumably army.

Maybe, but that timing may not be a coincidence.

[olldflame]

Whoa! Holding out pays off for Ballard as he gets the last minute offer from Memphis and signs.
