Lamont Johnson

Coach Davis · January 31, 2015

i would like to see UNT make a late push for him! He just decommited from SMwho this week. Probably the fact that they had three more receivers commit with in the last few weeks. i know we already had Bendy, Thompson and Brantley committed at the moment. We did lose two receivers from our class last year already so we might could use one more. He does have a Nike verified 4.3 forty time so surely we could find some spot for him on the field

I want to say that Tech just hired the SOC coach as an assistant so maybe they look at offering him.

I don't think we will since it appears we filled our last WR spot with Bradley. If not, Wright would not have felt wronged.

Watched him play3 times while scouting, id take him in a heart beat.

I'd pass

GMG24 · January 31, 2015

Why?

Cooley · January 31, 2015

Just don't think he's a D1 mid-major. Was shocked when SMU offered. Dropped too many passes and only made the easy catches. I would prefer LaDaryl Blair over him but he committed early to Boise State. I think I only missed about 4 games this year. He was just OK but nothing special. There was a noticeable drop off at the WR position behind JF Thomas.

GMG24, do you scout for anyone in particular of just as a hobby?

I'm a MS coach for a The Colony HS feeder, only saw him the last three games, now I agree other WR much better, but still think this kid can ball.

Coach Davis · January 31, 2015

4.3 speed and doesn't have the best hands from y'all's scouting report, sounds like a pretty good cornerback to me

UNTLifer · January 31, 2015

Featherstone Jr.? What's Johnny Quinn up to now? He should be on staff to teach these kids how to catch the ball. Instead, they watch Odell Beckham Jr., and the like, making one handed catches. Just like other sports, they try to make the highlight reel catch and forgef abouf fundamentals. That may not be Johnson's issue with the drops, but it is for many.

At this point in the recruiting process we must take the best available player(s). If Mr. Johnson is that then offer him.

GMG24 · January 31, 2015

Cooley, I agree whole heartedly I'd want any of the other receivers over him but unless I'm mistaken those guys are a few leagues above cusa level players.
