surprised tech hired him we were not stellar on the DL.

That's probably because the juniors and seniors he was working with (from 2011 and 2012) were a bunch of linemen who either had one other FBS offer or no other FBS offers, then we signed just one in 2013, and had zero d-line commits when he took the job with about a month left before signing day 2014.

He was not dealt a good hand, but he recruited well for the next d-line coach.

So who on the d line can we consider as his guys?

Tauaalo, Rod Young, Howard, Combs, Wheeler. Tillman Johnson committed and signed with KP, so you can maybe give him credit because there had to be some contact there, but Johnson's lead recruiter was Chico.

He also seemed to be very involved with Bryce English.

I know he was mentioned on the linebacker out of Florida! Good luck coach!

Seems after Chico left he was our point man for recruiting. He got English here. We will be running a very similar offense to Tech, I wonder if old Klifford wanted to peek at who Harrell and Littrell were looking at since we turned down Kincade.

No evidence of that at all.

While I wouldn't call it proof, I wouldn't say there's no evidence, either.  Obviously, Devante had plans to do something huge with Bryce English on Jan. 5th.  We know what Bryce English did on Jan. 5th--he committed to UNT.  But something discouraging happened to Devante before Jan. 5th, so he had to find other plans instead of committing to UNT with Bryce.

So again, while it's not proof as such, the evidence does point in a clear direction.  That said, it's all academic.  Devante is going somewhere that looks to be a good fit for him, and we look to have other good opportunities at the QB position.  Hopefully, everybody wins.

According to the Vito article on 1/5, he said he was talking about it with his family, but UNT was still "his top choice".  I don't know that he would say that if there were no offer. 

He probably wanted to come here, but it sounds like someone gave him good advice to bypass the UNT offer to sit for 1 year, then only have 1yr to play, and instead, go play 2 yrs at Grambling.

I guess we'll never know.   Agree, I hope we do well and I hope he does well too!

      Appreciate the recap

      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?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

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

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
