5'11", 290.

A Defensive Tackle that's fast enough to play Running Back and Safety

2nd team All Area Dallas, Dallas Morning News

District 10 6A Defensive MVP

Has one offer and is committed to Northwestern St Louisiana.

This is the short, fast fireplug we have been looking for since 2003.

Or an oversight due to height? Which would be a stupid oversight.

Rick

Agree.

EVERY FBS school ignoring him due to height? I can't see that.

We know coaches were visiting Horn this year, and they saw him. Horn has a bunch of big-time recruits.

We KNOW UNT coaches were visiting Horn, because we pulled Woodworth from there.

Height is a legitimate measurable in the NFL, and I'm sure the speed across the board neutralized Brandon's talents. But Booger proved that you can get away with it in college, and I'm sure he is not the only one.

It does make me think that college scouts take their lessons from the NFL with little or no wiggle room for kids that don't fit that mold.

Honest question, I don't know if the answer will prove your point: how many offers did Brandon have coming out of Terrell?

He looks impressive, especially when on the punt/kick ST. Dalen busts through the blockers and gets his hands in the way. I like him, he's fast, gets through or around blocks, and he's got a good eye for the ball carrier. Hope gets the itch to come here.

"Hope he gets the itch to come here?" How about hoping our coaches get the itch to swing back my Mesquite Horn to recruit this young man?

SMU and Tulsa were his main offers. SMU was requiring an essay or something which screwed things up for them. Their academics requirements were stiff. Tulsa basically camped out at his house and we were all VERY worried as his fax did not come in till later in the day on signing day. We had been burned a year prior when a QB recruit we had commited flipped to La. Tech on signing day... Tulsa's coach Keith Burns was at the end of his tenure and I think they were questioning whether or not they would continue football if you can believe it. Nevertheless it played into our hands.

I believe he was being recruited by Ramone Flanigan who was an OUTSTANDING recruiter at that particular time. We also had help on the ground (all legal and above board) from a good UNT alum who was based in Terrell and knew the family quite well.

If it were grades he would have to go JUCO and not FCS right?

Actually he could attend some D-II FCS juco schools as they do not have the same minimum requirements as FBS.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
