'15 JUCO QB DaMarcus Smith

[Ben Gooding]

You just have to avoid the handshake with the 100 dollar bill folded up in your palm.. ***COUGH COUGH SMU

haha, no doubt.

[Ben Gooding]

I would volunteer my time to help with this^^

Someone with some kind of inside presence relay this. Harry, flyonwall, someone...

If our staff is struggling with recruiting we should at least offer our time to help boost recruiting...granted this is legal.

[Ben Gooding]

And tbh this should be set up for every recruit. First 30 minutes on campus recruit gets greeted by fans, students, cheerleaders, etc. Granted this could open up a window to misconduct but if it's watched closely and it stays clean this would only help us.

i would sit in a class telling me the do's and don'ts

Yep, as would I. Why this hasn't been created yet is beyond me. It would help out in a lot of areas as well. It would obviously get recruits attention, it would get much needed fan support if they could come out and know they are having an impact and getting a chance to meet the guys they root for, athletic department could advertise season tix/donations and current players could come out as well and greet fans/alum. Try to hold 5-6 of these a year and get as many recruit visits penciled in those dates as humanly possible. If we are going after a highly touted guy then single him out and set one of these up primarily for him. It's literally a win, win, win scenario.

Most of us here are out as far as contacting recruits.

I am pretty sure that I don't want potential recruits anywhere near some of the posters on this board.

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

You would probably also like them to play in front of an empty stadium too, wouldn't you?

Todd Dodge???

Immediate #2 on the depth chart without even taking a snap.

Maybe we can get Daheeb or another one if the WKU guys who visit here to give us a run down on what they remember about the kid.

Huge news!!!!

Welcome aboard Damarcus.

Big time! Hope this means we modernize our offense and stop trying to out-lunchpail the other team. This guys plus Wilson in the backfield for the next two years should be money

[H-towngreen]

Can somebody give me a rundown on this guy? HS, what colleges he's been at, stats, etc. typically follow recruiting extremely closely but was out if town this weekend and now the cowboys are on.

Lets see if that old leopard can change his spots.

4-star (rivals) recruit in 2011. Signed with UCF, but had a big-time offer list.

Didn't qualify, so he enrolled in 2012 at WKU as a true freshman then (a year late). Redshirted in 2012, backed up Brandon Doughty in 2013 as a RS Freshman, transferred to Butler CC where he had a big season this year as a redshirt sophomore, and now will come here as a redshirt junior for the 2015 season.

This is his bio from WKU. Gives a good HS background. RS when he arrived, played in a few games in his RSFr season and transferred to Butler CC. His offer list is also included, not bad at all.

I love me some DW, but he needs to go D2. I was a huge advocate of his in his early going, but his maturity level (and having a kid) doesn't allow him the time to put in the work. D2 ball would fit his life situation right now that would allow him to father his kid and get a free education while playing football.

As far as I'm concerned this guy is QB2 right now only bc we are not ENTIRELY sure what he brings to the table. If he comes in with a student mentality he will surpass McNulty by the end of spring ball. This is a big get and I think he might be the final piece to the offensive puzzle.

[Ben Gooding]

Also, he wouldn't commit here unless the coaching staff informed him of the QB situation, in it's entirety.

[UNT90]

There are 4 important pieces on the OL that need replacing.

Far from the final piece.

[H-towngreen]

Thanks Ben! Looks like a HUGE get! Just watched his HUDL. This kid has talent and as stated is qb2 already. The big thing is that he is a Mid term enrollee. By end of spring he should be starting. As long as the online comes together I actually feel like we could put up some points on offense

[Harry]

Huge pickup for Mean Green!

Sam Rice should easily step into one of those spots. So 1 down 3 to go.
