OTF felt like this was headed the direction of a decommit for a few weeks ... with Johnny Nansen hired, and the prospects Texas offered and are targeting, this one was a matter of time. 

[crosshorn]

Hmmm.

[Gerry Hamilton]

A for instance, Johnny Nansen likes Jonathan Cunning ham more for what Texas needs. So if Texas pushes for another long levered backer in the class ... could be Cunningham. 

 

Of course, Riley Pettijohn, Elijah Barnes and Matai Tagao'i are top of the board

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

This seemed pretty likely for a while. Heard there wasn’t any movement getting him to come in for an official visit.  Obviously we are in good shape with other top targets.

@Gerry Hamilton, is this a subtraction for a loss, or a subtraction in pursuit of potentially greater talent or better fit?

[FrancoBevo3.0]

Wasn’t this one kind of expected?

Just a shame it wasn't a Matai of time

Yes. There is a different LB fit that Nansen is looking for 

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

I’m pleased with this development

Makes sense with the change in position coach, but good luck to the young man! 

Doesn’t he have family connections to Baylor?

[Ace Recruiter]

Good move all the way around.  We pursue a better fit and he gets to take his time picking his new destination. The staff must feel confident with some of the top targets.

[GoHorns1]

Good luck Anthony “Duce” Williams. 

[CJ Vogel]

Best of luck to Anthony. This was not too much of a surprise to folks behind the scenes.

through the whistle, until the blood is dry, maybe even a little after the email is sent

[Sirhornsalot]

Why was he not a good fit?

 

[Palmettohorn]

Word has it he wasn't invited this weekend.

We haven't had him on a April 6 visitor list, or June OV list.

I left him in Best Class Scenario with the caveat of "as long as he was committed"

[Jarveaux]

Wish the young man good luck . Now it’s on to greener pastures for Texas hopefully. 🤘

[John Moore]

 

[Shane]

Good luck to the young man 

[Bobbers]

So, Texas dropped a Duce?
