They should call Kittle "Mr. Sandman" because he's a "sleeper" gettin' machine!
@KippLAdams
@Jake_Trotter @KippLAdams Just made his profile 12 days ago after getting 1st offer from #UVA.
Again i'll direct you to make any other comments in the Rant

Good Hudl film, we could definitely do worse.

Georgia 6AAAAAA 2nd Team All Metro (Atlanta)
Must have... Dude is huge!
Harvard and Yale offering means the kids not a grade risk and provably not character issue so sign him

USAO....The board will shut down if this kid picks Buffalo or Georgia State...Get ready for it

The ivy league schools put linemen in the league. Those offers are no joke for football reasons too.
I didn't think they're a joke just that this kid has talent and little baggage.

Ivy League schools don't give scholarships, so I wouldn't exactly say he has offers from Harvard and Yale.

He'll probably sign with Stanford
ESPN recruiting article from this morning said that George held his own against Carl Lawson (5* DE) after he (George) was moved up to varsity last year due to an injury on the OL. That's enough to intrigue me and make me believe the kid has potential.

They still give offers to be on the team. There's just no scholly.
got a 31 on his ACT and is student body president...we need more of these types of kids

Amen very impressive.
I agree, but just realized that maybe he is smart enough to not come to OU... FML
What is the Rhodes Scholar stat that Boren always touts?
http://www.ou.edu/publicaffairs/oufacts.html
OU ranks No. 1 in the nation among all public universities in the number of National Merit Scholars enrolled.
The Princeton Review ranks OU among the best in the nation in terms of academic excellence and cost for students.
OU has achieved the Carnegie Foundation’s highest tier of research activity classification, the first time a public institution in Oklahoma has received this outstanding recognition.
OU students achieved the highest graduation rate in state history for a public university – a record high of 67.8 percent for the freshman cl**** that entered in 2005.
An OU Debate Team from the Shannon Self Debate Program has won the national championship in debate four of the last six years.
OU is a leader among all American universities in international exchange and study abroad programs. One in four OU students study abroad. OU currently offers programs in over 50 countries and 100 cities in six continents. Students from 120 countries are enrolled at OU.
OU has produced 29 Rhodes Scholars; no other university in Oklahoma has had more than three.
OU is the only comprehensive public university in the nation with Rhodes, Marshall and Mitchell scholarship recipients this year.
Four OU students were selected recently to receive prestigious, national scholarships: two were named Goldwater Scholars for excellence in mathematics and science, one was awarded a Truman Scholarship based on his leadership potential, and another was awarded a Udall Scholarship, which recognizes undergraduates who demonstrate a commitment to careers related to the environment, Native American public policy or health care.
There's your stat.
That said, with a 31 on the ACT, I doubt this kid qualified for NMS.
Wow!
Very impressive. I wonder how Harvard would reply and compare?
Those stats are for a public university. Harvard, Yale, and others are private.
If we sign this kid hopefully he turns out to similar to what Bill Bradley did for BB at Princeton or Ed Marinaro at Cornell or Sid Luckman at Columbia.

Ivy League schools give plenty of aid to the football players that qualify.
The following users like this post: usaosooner
Yep/ Its promised Aid its basically a scholarship. Most of their football recruiting pages promote that fact.
Right, but only if it's need based. Anybody gets need-based aid at Ivies if you're accepted. It's just easier for athletes to get accepted.
He's still not getting a full-ride there.
Ivy League schools have a four-tiered level of admittance for football that is primarily based on a combination of grades and test scores. Football is allowed to bring in a certain number of kids under each tier. Those kids that get admitted in tiers 3 & 4 would prpobably not have gotten in without football. Tier 2 would be on the cusp of competing with the bottom of the incoming freshman cl****, while tier 1 would probably have been admitted, even without football. Yale, Harvard & Princeton are required to take more tier-1 players (higher grades/score combination) than the other schools. All the Ivy League schools are need based for financial aid. The amount of aid is a sliding percentage based on the families income and net worth. Every student is looked at separately, regardless of athletic affiliation, and any financial need provided to an athlete is not dependent on whether that student continues to play a sport or not. Basically, if a kid is admitted and their family makes under $200k, there will be financial aid available.

That's a hell of a first post.
Gabe Ikard, who was a Wuerffel Trophy finalist, Capital One Academic First Team All-American, and Academic All-Big 12 First Team, is his host for the weekend. Good to know we have our most cerebral player recruiting this kid. Hope we land him, though a degree from Harvard or Yale would be hard to turn down.

Thanks for the useful information. Always nice to have posters who know what they're talking about.
So how is his visit coming along??
Here's a tweet from him a little while ago.

Not sure how to interpret that one lol
The following users like this post: VRO405
From reading through his Twitter page he is obviously very bright (as if the 31 ACT didn't already confirm that). He seems to have a good sense of humor too. Hopefully he has a good time on his visit. At least he hasn't tweeted about getting ditched by his host.
Missouri offered as well and Stanford may. If Stanford offers we're in trouble
He's going to Stanford if offered he mentioned them as a dream school in an interview
My question is this, why in the hell is he anywhere near some cows??....
Lol!! That's a great question
They took him to Stillwater so he could see how "the other half" live?

Guess you must be glad the mods don't require at least a GED or some other basic level of intelligence to be a member here. Congratulations for representing yourself so well. I'm sure your mother is really proud of you.
