I was looking at Kilgore JC 2014 signings and noticed

Chris Chumley (maybe Caleb)

Fonzale Davis

O'Keeron Rutherford

Lots of other familiar names too...

I know that a ton of kids who may be borderline qualifiers will double sign with a JUCO so that if it doesn't work out with plan A they have a landing spot in JUCO. Let's hope that's the case here with Davis and Rutherford.

i know Caleb Chumley has a cousin that is a quarterback for longview so maybe it's another Chumley that is related.

That's not Caleb. His cousin for Longview is Dez, but Chris may be related as well.

Davis and Rutherford have been on the borderline for grades. Mac even said so on signing day. H-Town is right about the double signing.

What does concern me is how late they signed. They double signed with Kilgore in May. I hope that doesn't mean as they got closer to graduation they realized they may not qualify and had to double sign. Hopefully they qualify.

The topic of potential unannounced losses came up a few weeks back as the possible reason we had an extra ship or two.

Hopefully everything works out with our recruits, but signs point to the possibility of at least one recruit having an issue.

Fonzale would be a huge loss...I thought Vito said everyone reported? I assumed that also meant all freshman, but I could have misunderstood.

Harry · June 17, 2014

It happens. You have to take a chance or two. I hope they make it.

GrayEagle · June 17, 2014

I honestly don't believe that #80 O'Keeron Rutherford and #81 Fonzale Davis would have been assigned those numbers if they were not going to be here. Yes, Vito did say that all reported.

As a grayshirt, Chumley could be a problem although I don't think so. He won't report this fall and sits out this season. He will be here the spring semester. No previous mention has been made of scholastic problems and, indeed, I find it hard to believe that a player with the intelligence to play quarterback would have a problem with academics unless he didn't take the proper core curriculum.

greenit · June 17, 2014

Really hoping they all make it. I am very high on the incoming class and can't wait to see them work their way into the lineup.

greenit · June 18, 2014

For what it's worth, the 2014-2015 roster shows the incoming freshman names listed, and none of the names seem to be missing (not counting grey shirts).

Looks like Davis won't make it in, but at least O'Keeron Rutherford has made it in and reported, per Vito's article on Cade Erwin. Tough that we couldn't get Davis, but all things considered, things could've been a lot worse than getting 1 out of 2.
