I would be even more curious if he happens to somehow find his way to an A&T practice in the next ten days. if he does show up, i hope he gets there before our practice field grass gets "jacked up"...

Don't sleep on my man SupaDave's prediction. He virtually called Duncan Powell! But we'll see what happens.

This goes without saying, but if we land this brother it changes everything! Feels more like a pipe dream though...

Here's the window, as narrow as it may be. Carolina is his first choice but the tenure fight with Nikole Hannah Jones and the media attention around it at least made him re-think it. If he eliminates Carolina from consideration for social justice reasons, and wants to stay home ...that's a long long shot. I would be even more curious if he happens to somehow find his way to an A&T practice in the next ten days. Along with the SGA President campaigning to black students to stay away and attend a HBCU

Damn.
Almost no shot in hell, but this dude would be the absolute missing piece of the puzzle.

This helps, but the article I read came soon after UNC dismissed Nikole, he spoke publicly condemning UNC and advices black students to seek other universities.

Dear Travis Shaw,
If you read this board, please read what Nikole Hannah Jones had to say about her decision to go to Howard instead of UNC:
“But I also get to decide what battles I continue to fight. And I have decided that instead of fighting to prove I belong at an institution that until 1955 prohibited Black Americans from attending, I am instead going to work in the legacy of a university not built by the enslaved but for those who once were. For too long, Black Americans have been taught that success is defined by gaining entry to and succeeding in historically white institutions. I have done that, and now I am honored and grateful to join the long legacy of Black Americans who have defined success by working to build up their own."
Nikole Hannah Jones
COME HOME BROTHER and "build up your own." AGGIE PRIDE!!!

I hate to sound like a hater but, it's just not authentic for me to have to beg someone to come where he will be welcomed with open arms and at ALL costs because, he/she wants to attend a PWI school that ONLY is going to welcome you when you giving them something. The moment you can't produce for them, they will show you the door so fast it will make your head spin. I will always wish my young brother(s) the best of luck on his future endeavors.
Good Luck, Mr. Shaw!!! Oh yeah....PS. Stay healthy!

COME HOME BROTHER and "build up your own." AGGIE PRIDE!!! too bad our own leadership doesn't feel the same way. given our new affiliation, it would be very difficult for our leadership to sell him on that concept...

Not if he has the sense of a flea.
He probably put us in his top four primarily due to the new conference affiliation. A number of recruits have stated as much. I don't think anybody under the age or over the iq of 50 has spurned us due to leaving the meac.
