Having watched Byrd and Scott, I am comfortable with that claim.  Have you seen Scott play?  If not, your comment is short-sighted and likely incorrect.  I don't "Nancy Pelosi" my comments.  You know,

Coach Atkisson spoke at my Kiwanis meeting a couple of weeks ago.  He said to answer a specific question, that Xavier Scott would like to go to NT but has not been contacted.  Keep in mind that this i

I'd tag him as an early down workhorse. I like his footwork and vision in between the tackles. Decisive, downhill runner. Agile enough to take angles away from defenders in the hole. If he can get up

I have mentioned this kid before but I am super intrigued by this kid. He's Xavier Scott from Denton High, at 5'10 and 213 pounds, he's a touch slow at 4.6 40 but he could be a bruising 3rd down back. He has no offers but just wanted to throw this kid out to everyone

This last Friday he ran for 165 yards and 4 touchdowns on 24 carries. 6.88 Yards per carry

I guess we'll just have to see when Mr. Scott winds up as a starting RB for an FBS team for 3 years, and is the bell cow not only for the running game, but the entire offense.

No, When I first made this post, they were public so I dont know what the deal is

Nuts, I was wanting to check them out.  Not a good look by the coaches to make stuff Private

Thats for sure. No exposure when you limit his tape.

I wonder if Hudl is going private unless you pay a membership?

I am nlt discrediting Byrd.  I loved what Byrd did at UNT, but Scott is a,totally different type of runner.  The situation will determine when and how long someone starts for an FCS school so that is an invalid comparison.  Again, have you seen Scott play?

I understand that his opinion on Byrd vs Scott should be somewhat limited by not seeing him live, but that's also the same logic Cooley used to use to validate his opinion that we should not have offered Brandon Garner.

I have now seen Timberview 3 times (DeSoto, Cedar Hill & Trinity) . Can someone remind me why we offered Brandon Garner?

Cooley also missed on Nick Orr and his large offer list, who is now starting at TCU as a true Sophomore. 

We all miss on players, so I'll trust that a guy who has 10 P5 offers is better than a guy who has 2 G5 offers any day of the week, no matter who has seen them in person and who hasn't.

Brandin Byrd had one FCS offer.  Scott seems like a good comparison.

And Garner has done what so far?

Besides winning a starting job as a redshirt freshman, leading our LBs and being 2nd on the team in TFLs 1/3 of the way into the season, being our best outside linebacker, or making plays when he gets out there, including against Iowa?

I have not seen him play.  No.  Don't plan to either.   So, we're just going to have to wait and see the results of their college careers, huh?

However, when comparing a dude who had a pretty great career at North Texas to a High School Senior, saying the High School Senior is a "level ahead" of Brandin Byrd...  Yeah, I'd say you're discrediting Byrd.

1st Team, 5A All-State.

Finished the year with 2,251 yards on 305 carries and 28 Touchdowns. 

FYI, Jett Duffy was the first team QB.  Would love to see us get both.

      What to expect from Odom?

      I would suspect that we've seen the end of the 3-3-5. My guess is that he will go back to the 3-4 we ran through the middle of the season. We have run some 4-2-5 in obvious passing situations. If he is a 4-man front guy, he could use that as a base. I don't really think he will do that. We have to do something to fill more gaps and get a pass rush. You can do either with the fronts we currently have, but in the 3-4 you have to be willing to shade the nose. Caponi absolutely would not do that. We NEVER slid the front or moved the nose off of a zero shade. Brown can be a much bigger factor than he has been. So can our DT's. I just hope we put our kids in a situation where they have a chance. Filling gaps on the LOS from the third level is a good way to give up 500 yards a game. Hopefully we never see that again.

      Usually you’ll have one game during the week and one during the weekend. It’s just how college basketball does things. Our home non-con is atrocious (both teams and dates) but there are some good weekend games in conference.

      Caponi fired

      My guess is that Briles is such an offensive genius and will run the offense that Orr can just come home. But I’d rather have Orr as DC and leave Gary at home.
