GMG24

You are kidding me right? 4A- D1 produces elite college football players year in and year out. Yes sir, wasn't me but I was asked what I thought about the kid.

We do need to continue to work, but we did beat West Virginia out for Guyton. We beat plenty of schools out for English when he transferred. It appears this staff can definitely recruit, now we need to see it make its way into the HS ranks. Hell we fended off an ALABAMA offer, yes I know he hasnt played a down for us but the fact that we beat Bama out is a miracle. Yes I am concerned, but when I look back to last class I see guys like Wilson who IMO is one of the best receivers we've brought in, in a long time. Dude had no offers. Fine performed admirably for a true freshman QB, again no offers. Ham-bone, yes I would love to have more highly regarded players and have the top ranked class absolutely. But after looking at last years class and the contributors we brought in with no offers or very few offers I am ok with it. The staff has gained my trust to let them evaluate and make those decisions. I realize others don't feel the same way, but that is my justification for not panicking.

I'm still on the last class... and I'm always concerned about classes......

You didn't answer me.

Wouldn't be so sure... one of our own sent him UNTs way.

1). WR - Deion Hair-Griffin (5-8, 150) Fort Worth, Texas RS2). OL - TJ Henson (6-5, 305) Plano, Texas 3). DE - Joshua Wheeler (6-3, 240) Grand Prairie, Texas 4). DE - Joseph Ozougwu (6-3, 230) Houston, Texas GS from previous staff 5). DT - Bryce English - (5-11, 295) DeSoto, Texas RS TRANSFER6). QB - Alec Morris - (6-3, 233) Allen, Texas7). WR - Rico Bussey - (6-2, 175) Lawton, Oklahoma 8). DB - Khairi Muhammad - (5-9, 170) DeSoto, Texas 9). DB - Dee Baulkman - (5-10, 200) Yuma, Arizona10). QB - Mason Fine - (5-10, 170) Locust Grove, Oklahoma 11). DB - Darius Turner - (6-1, 172) Nashville, Tennessee 12). LB - William Johnson - (6-3, 225) Coral Springs, Florida 13). OL - Chandler Anthony - (6-7, 280) Tuttle, Oklahoma RS14). RB - Nic Smith - (5-10, 175) Arlington, Texas RS (PROBABLY BEST SIGNEE IN THE CLASS IMO)15). WR - Tyler Wilson - (5-10, 170) Arlington, Texas 16). DB - Jameel Moore - (5-10, 170) Cedar Hill, Texas 17). LB - Ejiya Ejodamen - (6-3, 235) Minneapolis, Minnesota 18). OL - Cody Hayes - (6-5, 305) Fort Worth, Texas 19). LB - La'Darius Hamilton - (6-3, 245) Corrigan, Texas Aside from Hayes Turner and Johnson who didn't make it to campus please do tell who the staff totally Wiffed on? They then added Jenkins, Wyche, Holston (still has a shot at being eligible was taking classes this year to qualify) Jalen Thomas and Quenitin Jackson They took shots to win now, I can't fault them for that. Seems they've learned their lesson and went after mid term JUCO guys they knew would be on campus and are focusing on HS ranks. I would imagine a grad transfer or two is still possible if its at a position of need. If you think I have any desire other than Championships and to move up in the college football world you haven't had enough conversations with me. We have a LONG way to go. If you want to win now you best be ready to take sanctions ala SMU. If you want to build it right it may take a few years to win and build the belief that what you're doing works. Are there areas our recruiting needs to improve absolutely.

Mis worded, speaking in terms of the class overall.

Think it has been a hodge podge of postings of guys at different times. Mostly committed kids, and a few highly targeted kids.

They're a Pac 12 (or however many there are now) team. We should not beat them for recruits and if we do we should be VERY happy. Kansas is still a big 12 school even if a bottom feeder. Should we be able to get a kid or two that Kansas wants? Probably. But I would not in anyway say losing a kid to a Colorado type program is an issue. Weren't they ranked several times this season?

Recruiting isn't some super secret business that other schools don't know about. His current school he is committed to either knows and approved, or he's going behind their back and making OV which won't bode well for the young man if they find out. 99% sure his coaches know he's on a visit..

Defense will look to add one/ two DL a few LB and a few secondary players and the rest offensive.. OL and WR are two largest areas of concern for good reason. The amount of shuffling that OL did this year was bad. I credit coaches for trying everything but that just was not good.

But we can't recruit... I can hear it now well he only had offers from _______. :) welcome aboard excited to see his game develop. He's got the length to be pretty special I think.

Up 14 offers and a 3 star on 247 still solid to SMU Also is being pulled hard by Ed Oliver 5 star DT for Houston.

Ask him to retire ;) or get him some younger help who could connect to Coaches via social media.

That is because Louisiana sank itself, and while the football coaches make some hefty $ I can guarantee you there are larger issues than coaches salary. I believe there is a program where if a kid in Louisiana graduates HS they can get scholarship $ to pay for in state schools. 8-10 thousand kid at 10-12 thousand a year is ALOT of $. I have no idea if my numbers are close or not but seems there are other things Louisiana should be worried about.

Conley? 80 % or so of his ties have retired. I think we need to get younger at that position in a hurry.

I am not saying you have to go spend 10s of millions of dollars, but adding simple stuff like lighting and things of that sort you could easily bolster our facilities, even though there are many other areas that need fixing first. Wins and donors is a solid start from all programs.

Also the use of them, and highlighting cool features as well.

Nope. The guy hired by Colorado is why they're dominating in DFW he's always recruited DFW solid

If the idea is to be similar to basketball then they need to have signing day at the start of season. I like the idea for the highly ranked and recruited guys. Problem is I think this increases the transfer epidemic.

Crootin season!! LETS GO!!!

great question, I am not sure.

Dude doesn't seem like he wants to come home to TX

True, I was just being a bit of an ___ lol :)
