Makell on his visit
"I'm working to graduate early, so I want to know where I'm going as soon as possible," Esteen said. "There as a part of me that thought about committing. I really loved it there, but I think I'm going to take more visits and then I will decide."

Sounds like he wanted to commit, but per Pete's policy, the coaches wouldn't accept it if he was still planning on taking visits.FKA_Mousecop said:Makell on his visit

It results in less decommits but it also results in less commits...

It’s pretty crazy that we offered Makell really early on last year and how under the radar he’s gone still. Xavion Alford and Ryan Watts blew up when we offered but Jimmy offered Esteen before them, Ayden Hector, Covington, and I want to say almost the exact same time same time as Clark Phillips. He should be the only coach who is allowed to say stupid shit like “we evaluate talent differently”
The hard part and the most important part now isn’t just closing, but closing ASAP. Esteen, Covington, and Hector should know right this second they aren’t going to find anything better than UDUB.

What is the fucking hold up? Again, Jimmy deserves all the slack in the world & context is different with every recruit, but how the fuck do we not have instant commits on low profile guys with the recent success we’ve had? The Jackson vs Paster stuff = 🤮. They offered Jackson cuz he has a higher ceiling than Paster due to his length Jimmy likes and they thought they’d need to sweeten the deal for Kell. They didn’t need to at all and now they have to wait for Jackson to pick somewhere so we don’t offend anyone. But the James Smith offer was pretty weird too even tho I like him more than Paster.
I would expect with the Kelee news a) Kelee prolly still unofficially visits for a game b) that Jimmy now starts putting pressure on guys like Kell and Jacobe ESPECIALLY with Jacobe tryna sneak USC back in. Jimmy don’t play that “I’m not interested in them but all the sudden want to take a visit there without telling the UDUB coaches” shit.

Do you have any planned visits coming up?
“I am planning on taking one to Oregon – an official.”
Nice. Have you started thinking about putting out a top schools list?
“I haven’t yet, but I will. I am not sure when.”
Have you started narrowing in on a commitment date?
“I think I will commit before the season.”
When you make that verbal commitment, what will that school and program have for you that will make them the ideal fit for you?
“I am looking for a program that will give me my best shot at going to the league (NFL). I am looking for a school that will develop me the best to give me that shot and give me a top education to back me up in life after football.” -
Not huge on Oregon getting the final visit. If he really means that last quote then we're fine, but quite commonly I've seen recruits say that shit and then pick schools like Oregon.
