Billy, what's your process for hunting down who we're going after ?

Hard to see how good of a dt he would be when his film is all at the de. Upper body looked like it could use some work.

6'3" 285 lb (now listed at 6'5" 290 lbs) defensive tackle for Midwest City high in Midwest City, Oklahoma. We visited him today. No official offer yet, but he does hold offers from UTEP and South Dakota.

He must of hit a growth spurt

MGB: Harrison considering UNT, visiting UTEP today

Gentlemen, if you want him, you'd better offer him now.

at 6'5" 290, that would be a big get for us. Get it? Big...

For real though, he would be a great pass lane and run lane stuffer.

So put the offer on the table already!

This...and make it snappy.

Looks like it's too late

Ok, so I can't wait to see who we're keeping under wraps INSTEAD of wanting this kid?

Rick

It's not too late...we just have to talk to the guy and offer him. Kids, unfortunately, flip all the time. If we start losing recruits to El Paso, Texas we are done.

We offered, I would be willing to bet he visits next weekend. I believe in Mac and Patrick to get this kid in a Mean Green Jersey on Saturdays!!

Well, if they don't that would be called dropping the ball. We don't want him, we need him. If the nasty city of El Paso consistently beats us out on players I'm going to flip out. It's freaking El Paso!!!!!!!!!!! No one ever wants to live there, raise their kids there, visit there, vacate there, and sure as hell not spend 4 years of your life there. Ugh, gross.

I say the coaches let the parents know that their son could be kidnapped by Mexican drug lords.

El Paso is consistently rated as one of the safest cities in the country with populations > 500K.

That is always amazing to me considering what is immediately South.

I was thinking about that, but didn't want to be the one to say so. And like you suggest, who knows why?

apparently 647,433 people disagree.

Ben Gooding, have you ever been there?

Yeah, alright. It's El Paso. I'll just leave it at that.

It's not like students ever really venture into the city other than to the nearest Wal-Mart. Many keep knocking these towns on a personal level.

Lafayette is a bad ass town with tons of culture. El Paso (big city) has got some good food, lots of culture. San Antonio is a big city with lots to offer, and again has culture (cept it's hot). Etc etc.

Lot of these places have identity and culture, and on a subconscious level some kids are attracted to that identity and culture.

Yeah, I have. I guess there are El Paso fans on here, for whatever reason. I went to a couple pretty good Sun Bowl games in the early 2000's. I've also driven through several times on my way to San Diego. I'm not going to hijack this dudes thread anymore over where he's choosing to spend the next 4-5 years of his life. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Plus, his recruitment is far from over.
