Ain't that the truth.
There's rarely a good reason to worry about a de-commit unless he starts setting up other visits. It's a testament to how highly you guys think of Gordon that you're freaking out within 24 hours of him committing despite him having no other P5 offers and no visits scheduled.
Amazing the capacity to find reasons to stress out after getting good news. :lol:
What have you heard? It sounds like you know something!
Welcome to the Black and Gold!!!!!!!!!!!
the words freak out are misused as much as the word literally.

Literally?
Whoa! Step away from the ledge. Literally.
I was wondering where the "freak out" talk was coming from. So I looked back through the thread. I'm not sure there's really any freaking out taking place.
Started with Flounder reporting on the updated star rating
Which led to the inevitable snarky comment that we got a player that's not a hidden gem.
Then, I think a reasonable comment from Flounder (I know, right?)
And a plea. (still a long way from a freak out)
Then a bit of info that might, actually lead to a bit of a freak out...
Followed by a reasonable question.
Followed by a reasonable answer that could, in fact, lead to some freaking out (but didn't)
And another reasonable concern that falls very, very short from freaking out.
And then this...
Nobody ever expressed a worry about holding on. Nowhere was it stated that we are in serious jeopardy of losing this commitment. It's been a lot of celebration, tempered with some realization that we're not across the finish line yet. That's it.
I, for one, am thrilled at the commitment.

If Gordon's future as a Buff is tied to FLounder's mojo then I'm gonna freak out. :lol:

Somebody link the Queen song for 'Flash Gordon' and get the DJ to play it every time he has a big carry for us.

Agreed. Such a simple concept that seems to stiffle most. Bravo Sack, nice recap.
I'm excited for this guy. Seems pretty electric with good balance. The vision is something we haven't seen in a while. I hope we aren't getting blown smoke due to the level of competition.
I won't worry about keeping him until after a visit to another school is set up. Do we have a visit set up yet?

Knee-jerk rating in response to ESPN, it would seem
Gordon's offensive coordinator:
“[The Buffs] run the ball, so that’s a good marriage. He’s an every-down back, he can run it down hill and he’s not afraid to stick his nose in there. He’s caught a few passes for us. Last year we didn’t really throw him the ball, this year we’ve kind of worked on that. Throwing him the ball in the flats, down field a little bit, trying to get him accustomed to the variations of what it’ll be like in college.”

A bit of a hyperbole. No one guy (except perhaps the best QB in the country) is a program turning recruit, but we should be really happy to get him. Also, you obviously weren't around to experience the Darrell Scott saga.

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
I was in the locker room the first day DScott moved to boulder. At the time I was playing COD on the xbox with a small player my height 5'6" at the time, and I asked him if it was Darrell(the only player I knew in the 07 class) he turned and said "yeah he guh, but I'm gonna be bettuh". That was all he said the entire time we played we played. Little did I know but that was freshman Rodney Stewart.

I was gonna rep you for the story until you answered yourself.
Yeah, DBT thought that was a little strange.
