Ricky Collins - JUCO wide receiver

[West Coast Johnny]

Sounds doubtful, but I thought I'd ask if anyone heard anything.

[Houston Frog]

Confirmed

 

[FeistyFrog]

That came out of the SWJCFC media day today and was from his coach.


Ricky Collins 6-0/185/4.45 Kilgore JC 24rec for 492yds, 20.5YPC, 66yds longest, 3TDS

According to that link he's going to SMU ,right?

He originally committed to SMU but did not qualify. He went to Kilgore JC and today at the Garden Valley Country Club in beautiful Lindale, Texas his coach, J.J. Eckert revealed he committed to the TCU Horned Frogs.

 

[UnderToad]

Committed today according to Rivals.

 

[FROGDADDY]

Seems like an odd commit for us.

Agree. Is he a 2012? Or is it possible for him to get on campus immediately and take Dwights scholarship since he's a juco? If it's the latter, then it makes a lot more sense to me.

He will play at Kilgore in the fall.

 

[Gunner]

Whoa, that is a pretty good review on Ricky by June. Boy can fly apparently.

He likely must graduate from Kilgore JC before he can be eligible.

Nice going Anderson.

 

[West Coast Johnny]

He was lightly recruited out of highschool because he was a academic risk. The coaches scouted him and liked him in 2010, but decided they liked Chris Hawkins & Curtis Carter better. It might have been a "sign and place" deal for SMU but whatever, he's a frog now. Welcome Ricky!

 

[Punter1]

I would think a juco WR would be waaaaaaaay down the list of needs unless he is a total stud.

 

[Burner1]

So no Curtis Carter, I guess.

He committed to SMU early, June 2009. Later in the year, he received a lot of interest from the Horned Frogs while having a great senior year and visited TCU to watch the 2009 Utah game.

Congrats Ricky, welcome to Fort Worth and the Casey Pachall era.



Go Frogs!

I should have said he signed with SMU, basically he committed early, but still signed with the ponies.

Have been corrected by PM saying Ricky will be here in January. But how could that be? Rule has always been, you must graduate from a JC to become eligible. That is unless you have passed the SAT or ACT prior.

He's a December graduate, not uncommon at the JUCO level.

I believe that with summer school, it's possible and not uncommon to graduate JUCO in 1.5 years.

Any way he sits out this season and could have 3 years to play at TCU? I believe Verrett sat out his first juco year and now has 3 at TCU.
