Decision coming from Yancey

  • http://kentucky.247sports.com/Article/Decision-date-coming-for-wide-receiver-Deangelo-Yancey-81663

    Following a good visit to Ole Miss on Friday, Yancey is spending Saturday at Kentucky. A decision could follow.

  • “I'm looking at how many receivers are committed there and how I get along with all of the coaches,” he said. “And I want me and Rashard Fant to commit to the same school. We want to play together.” That would seem to be a concern (commiting with Fant) since Fant appears to be cool on us and warmer on Ole Miss. Am I reading too much into that. By the way, that would be ANOTHER WR/DB for Ole Miss.

    Given that, I don't know how Ole Miss "looks good" for his commitment, considering they now have 6 WR's in the class already.

  • Haha, that's funny we took the same quote and came away with a different take. Maybe I'm a pessimist after all? biggrin

  • What makes you guys want these two? Are they vastly underrated. Both are 2 star guys.

    I can't really explain why i am so high on Yancey. As I've said a few times, i usually don't get too up or down over highlight videos but there's just something about this kid. Love his size. At 6 2' 200 lbs he has break away speed and appears to have great mits too. Really reminds me of Stevie. Plus, i love the idea of adding another big SEC bodied WR to Legree and Sweat.

    I would say they are both absolutely under rated, or not rated enough. You look at Thomas for instance, don't think he's been evaluated enough, bc 24/7 you look and he's a 75 2* guy, but has an offer sheet that includes Ohio State, and we all know Urban doesn't recruit no slouches. But like Tommy said, Yancey is just one of those guys who just jumps off the screen at you. JUCO, BIG, and has speed. Sounds alot like Stevie 2.0 to me, and that would be a very good thing.

  • I'm just a little behind on Yancey I guess. I trust what you guys say. And from the looks of it I hope we get both guys.

    I'm a little confused here. Yancey goes to Mays High School and is in the 2013 class. At least that is what his 247 recruit page (linked in the article) says as well as scout's and rivals' pages for him. What is the JUCO in reference to?

    Ole Miss picked up a WR commit, some people thought the title was referencing Yancey (it wasn't) so I clarified it by adding "Juco" to the title.
