Lubbock Corner

It took me a while, but a player who committed to Columbia all the way back in September has finally appeared on my radar.

6-1 200 lbs. DB Nick Annabi is coming to the Lions from Coronado HS in Lubbock, TX.

You can see Annabi's senior and junior highlight reels below:










Annabi is a two-time All District player from what is indeed a very tough Texas high school football region.

He had 80 tackles and eight INT's this past season for Coronado.

Looks like Coach M is putting together another good recruiting class .... this class has real size and a couple of burners ...

not to be nit picky, but when did he put together the first good class?

oldlion said...

Last year we brought in a class with at least seven or eight players who made the two deep by the end of the year. Considering the late start it was a very good class. And how about showing a little support on this blog?

Padilla is a good one, and so is Connors ... Davison would have been had he not been injured ... three of the five O-line were freshman who will contribute even more when they "fill out" ...

Molina Gross and Reim were also good players in theirrookie season. Add Bell on KRs as well. I'm sure I've overlooked a few. A healthy Gross can be a special player. PS, is Davison able to come back?

Davison had a concussion issue that he withheld during recruiting. After one non contact practice he decided to quit because he had to many concussions. He used football to gain admission to Columbia and then quit. He is no longer part of the team, stop talking about him. His whole recruitment was a mistake, one that will not likely happen again.

Great bow tie on Douglas. The young man has style.

Thanks anonymous for the uplifting thoughts .... you are right .... obviously, there were no good players from last year's class .... have you got anything to say about this year's class ???

There are a bunch of good players from last years class. My point was, stop talking about the guys that are not here, they won't help us win a championship. They are no longer here for a reason, we will live and win with the ones who stay. Those are the ones who we need to support.j

Thanks for the info on Davison, at least we all now know why he chose not to play.
