Thought he was already committed to Baylor?

He was and decommitted some time ago.  Not sure the circumstances but was not related to any of the issues mentioned here from what I understand.  One thing that should be kept in mind is that offers given when kids are underclassmen are more “offers” with emphasis on quotation marks.  Coaches may be counting on a certain amount of development, growth, etc.  This is in no way a comment on Jordyn’s situation - he has committed to Austin Peay and I’m sure he will have success there and has the opportunity to get a great education there for free.   A big congrats to him.  

My understanding is that Devon has an OV scheduled with Austin Peay in a couple of weeks and it is a down to and Univ. of New Orleans.  Most probably are thinking he will end up at AP as well.  Kudos to Coach Sless at UNO for continuing to recruit SETX hard and has had some success here (Weisbrod, Zeno).  

I know with McCain, he was projected high D1 at times and I still think he has that kind of talent.  Performances like he had in the championship game last year are next level stuff.   Most kids aren’t even capable of pulling that out of their bag.  I know the “incident” is what most people think has hurt him and if probably didn’t help.  But he’s a big hearted kid from what I know of him and a lot of kids make a mistake.  The biggest drawback from my discussions with guys at the next level is that they never got to see him compete, especially last summer, against the top national players.  And like it or not, big time scholarships are earned in this day and age between April and July, not November and March.

Very good insight. It's crazy they haven't got to see him play. I don't see how, doesn't Silsbee play in some big time tournaments? State 3 years in a row. They living under rocks? lol

Well why this is true, during the regular season college coaches are more trying to secure commitments from guys they have already been recruiting. Also, like hoops said Devon didn’t play on a shoe circuit this summer, or the previous two from what I know and that is where guys will get all of their power 5 conference offers from. I think both definitely have power 5 talent, but sometimes the cards don’t fall into place.

One, when school ball is in full swing, so is the college season.   Coaches may visit and catch a game here and there, but that is primarily in an attempt to secure/keep a commitment, not for evaluation.  They want to see a potential power 5 kid play against other power 5 type talent.  The best place to do this is in the late spring and summer, when their seasons are over and the sneaker circuits are in full swing.  I believe McCain has that type of talent, but a coach might be less willing to gamble until he’s seen that talent “translate” with his own eyes.

I don’t think ppl really understand what happens with recruiting . Some think because a kid is good in high school it will translate to college & that’s further from the truth. Devon has high major talent but playing high school ball won’t cut it. There a million kids with his numbers and better.(no knock on him). Will his game translate to the next level we will see coach’s want to win numbers one or they get fired. Character is everything is this game believe that .

The odds of kids making the NBA are next to impossible. If you go around the NBA, you will se that 70% of the NBA are former High School All Americans with a few foreign guys and late bloomers sprinkled in. Going to college and playing ball and getting a free education is absolutely awesome as well. That means you have a chance to get a free education and start off almost debt free after college.

TAnd stop listening to people who think they know where you "fit in."

This is an area I believe recruits should listen to what you have to say.  I know your son transferred and am in no way digging for a reason.  But that gives you recent insight into not only the recruiting process but also seeing that initial choice not working out.

      Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.

      You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comments were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.

      Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.

      It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
