3 spots left in this class seems to be the consensus. We're less than a month from signing day, so who would you want (ideally, yet realistically) to fill our recruiting class? A few of the candidates: (Player, home town, position, Rivals Rank) Jermaine Antoine - Loreauville, LA - Skill Athlete - 3 stars DJ Dean - Newton, TX - Skill Athlete - 3 stars Aaron Doddy - Hooks, TX - Skill Athlete - 2 stars Jerquis Beasley - Orange, TX - Defensive Tackle - Unranked Chris Loving (JUCO) - Klein, TX - Tight End - Unranked Tre Allen - Longview, TX - Jumbo Athlete - 2 stars Allen is still listed as a commit to Arky State on recruiting websites but has decommitted from the team and still is uncommitted as far as I know. He also does not show a UNT offer but does have former teammates from Chapel Hill in Tyler currently playing for UNT. http://etsn.fm/longviews-tre-allen-no-longer-committed-to-arkansas-state-weighing-options/ *Note - A skill athlete is a player recruited to play a skill position on either side of the ball such as a wide receiver/cornerback and a jumbo athlete has the potential to play a position on either side of the ball with more weight requirements such as a tight end/defensive end or a o-lineman/d-lineman.

That's awesome! Also, Adoboyejo is taking an OV to TCU next weekend.

Those are pretty good numbers. We shouldn't have to use tight ends as much this year if we can roll out a decent passing game.

Darn

Yeah, I saw how many they had on there. I'm not saying they aren't good, I'm just sticking up for the only current UNT commit out of the Parisites.

Maybe, but he is the only one that got all-state recognition. Also, this guy on this list who interests me is Sam Sizelove. He's a junior linebacker from Argyle high and he made first-team all-state defense. 6'4" 215lbs as a junior. http://rivals.yahoo.com/theoldcoach/football/recruiting/player-Sam-Sizelove-142005

Really? I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not, but I thought he's been pretty firm on not taking sides between Berglund and Thompson.

6'2" 245 lbs as a current sophomore is pretty impressive. Could be an early center prospect for us, hopefully.

We were his only offer at all, and there was a reason for that. As DT's biggest critic I think he turned out very well, all things considered. Next year he will be what he should've been all along; a serviceable backup who, if he comes in, will have the task of not turning the ball over and hitting short passes.

Maybe, but it's also a university in Tennessee that a lot of local kids who don't have scholarships go to.

Not out of the realm of possibility. They haven't really produced any legitimate D1 prospects since Garrett Porter (class of 09) who is still at Texas. Still would be a solid pipeline if it could be established, as we are the closest D1 school to west Texas besides Tech and UTEP depending on which west Texas city.

Carson Newman in Tennessee? That's a four-year school, so that would mean no return to Denton. Good find NT03

That's what I heard on volnation, but I think that may be wrong like you said. This explains it a little better, basically talking about backtracking early enrollees to last class. I wish I could say this is 100% credible but I myself am not sure. http://www.themidnightyell.com/2012/06/breaking-down-numbers-in-class-of-2013.html?m=1#!

A&M is allowed to sign as many recruits as they can this class until they reach the 85 max total for the team. This is the only year they will be allowed to do this and it is because of being new to the SEC. Just what I've heard.

I know he's become a controversial player off the field at this point, but I really want to see Antoine Jimmerson take over and be our starting running back. 20+ carries a game with our offensive line as good as we are could give us this effect of just smashing you play after play, then opening up the play action. Without going too much into the qb debate, this would make their job much easier and our offense much harder to stop, as long as that passing game is improved from last year.

Dude! I was going to make a thread just like this! Darn you Vito, you beat me to the punch. I know I'm going to sound like a broken record, but I'm surprised Vito hasn't figured out that Kaydon Kirby has passed Boone Feldt up. We'll see for sure in spring, but that has been the case with or without Boone's injury problem. Either way, we definitely need some d-lineman heading into this stretch. The good thing is we redshirted 4 freshman defensive tackles last year (Mcdorman, Watson, Wallace, and Haboul) and 3 freshman defensive ends (Roberts, Dilonga, and Horton). I have a question though; is Medina going to be a linebacker or safety? This board seemed to be in agreement that he would be a safety but Vito listed him as a linebacker.

That would be absolute BS for his waiver to be passed by the NCAA, if this is the truth. His only case for a waiver to play immediately would be to say that he was home sick and it caused him to "run away" from college or whatever he did, so his appeal would only make sense if he was transferring to a Dallas area school. Since he is going to Houston his waiver shouldn't pass or else this will open up the flood gates for freshman who don't like the school they end up at to just run away then choose whatever school they want and they'll be allowed to play there immediately.

Been a Tennessee fan since I was born over there, started following them and the conference intently in 2001. Torn because bama is our rival (kinda one-sided) but I'll always pull for the SEC as long as they aren't playing UNT.

Absolutely

Not surprising. He's more of a college qb. I could see him being an Andy Dalton type QB in the NFL, but not a high first round pick or anything had he declared imo.

Exactly. 4 players signed, all other are commitments.

Dontre Wilson from De Soto. It also talks about Adam Taylor from Katy. Dude's a beast, 250 yards and 5 tds in the state championship game this year. He missed almost all of his junior year while Kyle Hicks tore it up so they offered Kyle instead. That could change now, but Taylor is committed to Nebraska so who knows.

This has already been posted, but yeah, hopefully he can be near their production.
