Lumberton Stand-Out transferred to Lamar

[hookem 2010]

Will be good to see him so close to home. He will do well.

[LTrain]

Definately looking forward to seeing alot of our local talent playing again

[LHSALLZONE]

not to be repetitive, but his main reason for coming home is that he wanted to be home ,period. no hidden agendas.  he did ask his girlfriend that in the future, they could get married, this happend about
2 to 3 weeks ago. he went to smu in late june a mandatory request by coach jones for all first year guys.  as i posted before , i talked to him every week ,several times a week, while at smu, his grades where good, his conditioning was good every coach i talked with at smu said he was doing fine, that he was awsome on the field (full contact ) then about  2 weeks ago anthony had a change of heart at the same time the coaches could see that change also. no wandering why guys, this is it.
coaches called us, ad called us, press called us, ac had no problems other than home sick, its his decision, dont be confussed. u think we wouldnt like to see him at this college. he passed on full offers from ,arizona,wyoming,colorado,colorado st, sfa, missouri,ect., he thought smu was close enough home,
he just wanted to be home. buy the way, his offer was closer to 380.000  . most of his offers was around 330,00. hope no one else has a second thought on this ,u would be worrying for nothing

Is it because all of these kids are not getting playing time at other schools and think they can get some at LU or what? SMU degree IMO would alot better on a resume then LU. Can't play ball forever, just reality. Anyways, happy thier coming to LU, but curious of why.

While the SMU degree would look pretty good, it would really depend on what his majar was. LU has one of the best engineering programs in the country, so if that's his study he might actually come out better.

I said IMO, and you have yours. Glad he's at LU. Really don't want to argue schools over a kid making a decision. Good Luck to him.

then why did you post 55 schools trying to prove your opinion ?

[Shackum]

I thought this was about Anthony?
Welcome home kid, we're glad you're back!
Can't wait to see you playing at Lamar!

[TradinUp BH]

Because every now and then I like arguing ;D Like I said I'm happy he came to LU, and wish him all of the luck in the world. Go get'em AB.

[Huggie]

I didn't see SMU on your list of 55 either.  I think the point is Lamar is a good engineering school.  Besides Lamar and McNeese, there's not too many local schools you can get an engineering degree from.  Not at SFA, SHSU, or Tx State or other Southland conference schools.

Come on, are really putting LU academics up against SMU? Really? I'll stop so the thread can stay on point.

[Bucky]

I dont think AB wanted to become a lawyer ....isn't that what SMU is known for??

[Huggie]

I'm glad we'll be seeing Anthony in cardinal red.

[Michele]

welcome to Lamar AB..... will be cheering for you on Saturdays.  GO BIG RED !!!!!!!
