That's interesting. While we may remember going head to head with Tulane, like in 2013 for Sergio Medina and in 2012 for Royce Lafrance, those were for Louisiana players. We haven't really gone head to head with them for DFW, or even Texas players.

The last time Tulane signed a player from Texas was back in 2012, and that player was from New Braunfels. So they really don't do hardly any recruiting over here. Tucker may choose neither school, but I wonder if they could outrecruit us for a metroplex player, or just Louisiana players.

Littrell just started following this kid on Twitter, Hopefully we can swing this kid our way. A 3 star rating on 247.com

He not committed anywhere

This is the type of recruiting battles we should win. Billy with Fran resigning do they have any verbals we would want to flip? A lot of 3 stars but not many offers.

Yes, TxSt has some guys committed to them that we would have interest in.

Looks like Perry and Patrick are doing a good job of reviewing and familiarizing Littrell with the players we recruited before. I'm sure they'll take a look at the guys who will be de committing, especially if we were looking at them before.

Guys like Tucker and Cook are recruits who have the offer lists that I want in our signees, realistically. Not great, but good solid G5 offer lists similar to the all-CUSA guys we've had like Zach Orr, Bellazin, Y'Barbo, Lemon, and Akunne.

That being said, I didn't think we had a chance at guys like this with Mccarney, even though there were no schools on those offer lists that we should've matched up poorly against. Good to see us get another chance with these type of kids but with Littrell in charge.

Douglas is as good of a kid as there is. Stayed late and got to school early every day, to get ready for each season.  This kid works his tale off.  I would love to see him and Ty make it to our campus.

He is taking his official visit here in January.

Gotta like our chances here, now. Kid has an offer list I love to see us going after. UMASS, Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, Texas State, UTSA, Tulane, and us. 8 FBS offers, and name one school on that list that we shouldn't be able to beat out for a DFW kid? I hope Coach Littrell fills our roster with these type of recruits. Pretty much what Western Kentucky has done.

And he wants to stay close to home.

yep, mom won't be making many games unless he stays close. 

[NorthTexas16]

Need them to stay home for sure. Do we know what weekend he is coming?

 

[GMG24]

I'm VERY interested to see the changes made in our Visit process, i.e. Trying uniforms on, pictures, what is high lighted etc.  Can't wait!! 

[NorthTexas16]

I am assuming that we will have an official visitor weekend. Usually bring in all of the kids they want and have a big weekend. Maybe hard for SL to get done on short time this year!

Need to get recruits to our campus and show it off, facilities are so important to recruits and we have some nice facilities..

 

[Hunter Green]

Uh, we're not taking them to a basketball game...are we?

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

^^ maybe to the girls game!

[GMG24]

^^ maybe to the girls game!

for no other reason than to try and help sway recruits should we show up in force to the basketball games on weekends.  I remember when I was at OU they promoted the heck out of home games on weekends of OVs. Fraternities painted sheets and welcomed recruits and hung them off balconies. It was a very neat experience.

Commits to San Diego state

Maybe like a Jordan murray situation last year. He committed to San Diego state in January then flipped to us on NSD. I wonder if he has already visited?
