looks like Liberty stole him late from UNC. it appears he had an offer of some sort from them according to the people on IC. I can't link the thread as it's premium.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Where are you seeing he committed to us? Great get if it's true!

[ballah09]

it's being reported on UNC football premium board...

Looks like we lost another recruit
Garrett Long commits to Liberty University.

i can't link you to it because it will bring you to a register site

[TDDance234]

Didn't see anything on other recruiting websites. This guy doesn't even register on ESPN/Scout's listing.

[jbock13]

well, any player who was good enough to be recruited by UNC and ends up with us is awesome. UNC has recruited very well lately (putting aside all the violations).

[BigAl57]

Why doesn't this guy have a rivals profile or anything? Sort of confusing for a guy that was supposed to be recruited by a BCS conference school.

I agree. if this guy is good then why is he not appearing on any sites. I haven't seen anything in the local paper or website that even mentions his name.

[aredd33]

Is this like the guy a few years ago from Nevada that fake recruited himself to UCLA, Cal, and Oregon?

[Roccgroh]

now this type playr i like he got north carolina, offer.

[bravo269er]

I agree if UNC recruited him he is talented. Butch Davis is a great evaluator of talent. People forget that prior to all of the violations that UNC was a projected top 5 team last year. They were loaded especially on defense. If this is true that is a outstanding coup for Coach Rocco.

Well, thats a start. Anybody have confirmation that he is a LU commit?

[TH Spangler]

Looks like he was a back up at North Raleigh Christian to John Cook.

John Cook http://www.maxpreps.com/athletes/Fhgwwk ... n-cook.htm

He has great size .... looks good in the vid posted here.

[ballah09]

he played alot TE and was selected to the shrine Game.

I don't know what to tell you guys, but it's what the insiders were saying just because he doesn't have recruiting profile doesn't mean he's not good or doesnt have BCS talent. Maybe he didnt get evaluated or didnt camp anywhere.

[flameshaw]

You guys do realize he played against horrible competition. He does have good size and even though he was recruited by some big schools, I have to think it is going to take him longer than most to adjust to some real competition. Hopefully I am wrong.

[bravo269er]

And the fact that nobody has been able to confirm that he is going to LU doesn't help matters. IF he was seriously recruited by UNC that is a good thing, but it is odd nobody can find much on him. In the next couple of days it'd be nice to get some confirmation on his status, and find out more about him.

Just because there arent reams of articles on this kid doesnt mean he doesnt exist or that hsi commit may not be legitimate...and just because there isnt some instantaneous press release posted on LibertyFlames.com doesnt mean that either. Add to that that our intrepid scribe is kinda preoccupied with the fact that a) its playoff basketball time locally AND there is this little matter of a rather important basketball game in Rock Hill, SC tomorrow that Im prety sure he is down there for as well. Just saying that there is no need for thinking this kid isnt legit and all this hand wringing over it either

beej you never disappoint. you have to admit it is weird that there is nothing on him. Dont get too bent out of shape

[ballah09]

from the thread which got deleted on IC.

[SuperJon]

Guys, committed doesn't mean scholarship. This kid could just be getting a preferred walk-on spot for all we know. I really can't believe there's been this much back and forth on this.

[Sly Fox]

That's exactly what I was think, SJ.

[FlamesBeBallin]

Seems just like the Brian Reese situation last year.
