Just said it was about his 4th time to visit TCU and he really likes it. He enjoyed spending time with the players last weekend, and mentioned that they want to win a national championship and he wants to be around winners. He talked about how we have a winning culture and have put 5 LBs in the NFL in recent years. He also mentioned that early playing time is important and there's a great opportunity for that here.

He may be able to fill both LB spots at the same time, if he'd like. No one else can offer that!

There's a video where he talks about Tulane. It seems like his brain is telling him to go to TCU. His heart is telling him to go to Tulane.

I hear they are wanting to win a NC too so can't go wrong with either one right?

Riley would be a great addition to this class. He projects to be an ideal fit in our system.

All of his best friends go to Tulane - half the John Curtis team ends up there every year. He has friends there.

I understand how it could be comfortable to be with familiar friends and be close to home in NOLA, but if he has a special talent, he needs to go to a program with a proven record of developing NFL talent. That place is not Tulane; simply said our staff and facilities will give him much better preparation to advance his football skills. Wish him the best, and its a tough decision for a 17 or 18-year-old. College is a time to grow and learn as a person as well as a scholar.

Seems like a good kid. I hope he ends up wearing purple, but if not, wish him the best at Tulane. Will have a great time at either place and will get a great education at either place.
Good luck to you.

He has a great name. It seems like Duke likes our program and the LB's that we produce.

From listening to both sets of comments, sounds like he's leaning towards Tulane. Wow.

I didn't get that at all. It sounds like it's a two horse race, but I didn't think it sounded like he's leaning towards them.

Did they post his Ole Miss comments?

Similar to the Terrell Lathan situation last year, maybe? Terrell really liked TCU, but felt obligated to go to the hometown team, so he committed to them. Then on signing day, he finally gave in to his real feelings and signed with the Frogs.
I'm sure those types of situations are a tough internal struggle
