'16 LB/DE La'Darius Hamilton Corrigan-Camden - SIGNED LOI

[jtm0097]

He will need to be coached up. I could tell he used his athleticism and size to make plays against the competition. Took several bad angles running to the football, but did appear to be a good tackler. However, he was tackling small qbs and running backs. That will change on the FBS level.

From an eligibility standpoint, you're right. But redshirting is tough for some kids, going from playing every down for years to sitting out a whole season.

Throw in being the only kid from Florida on the team, and the fact that the first semester of college is the toughest, not playing can make the kid want to leave. If he's playing at least he's carving out a role on the team and wouldn't want to lose that progress by transferring.

This.

In a way, I don't mind. Sometimes with out of state kids, especially for us considering we don't have many, it's better to not redshirt. Let him play and he may be less likely to transfer right away. Only Florida kid on the team, and redshirting may make the transition here that much tougher.

With Ek coaching some very good linebackers at GA and being high energy (which many discount ) I really hope he can solidify a relationship with him this spring. When you look at new talent at Qb and linebacker it is exciting!

Not to mention the kid has a frame to get even bigger and stronger.  Great job Coach Ekeler.

MGB: La'Darius Hamilton talks about in-home visit with UNT, plans before national signing day

This is shaping up nicely. I like our chances of signing this kid. With him and McNair in the middle - along with the addition of English - I could see our run D getting better pretty quickly.

East Texas! Not to mention, with all due respect, I really doubt the S&C program at his school is anything comparable to what you see in the metroplex at the 5A/6A schools. 

That's a thing I love about these small-town East Texas kids. Their early gains in the weight room are usually substantially more than the kids over here whose coaches were already working them year round in the weight room. Most of these kids have to play every sport for their school and don't have much of an offseason program.

Any time you talk to parents of players, you get the same impression: they want their kid to be playing.  That makes me think that's what the players themselves want.  I have to think it's tough not playing on a team that's losing a lot.

Greatest pic of all Time but you know what would make it better is if you put RV on one of the guys (Since RV is the Puppet Master) then one of our biggest Donnors on the other

Looks like he has Al Roker head. 

[UNT07]

Any word on this guy? 

[MEEN2018]

He retweeted Khairi's commitment tweet. Also all of his recent followers are UNT related. I think unless anyone comes last minute and sways his mind that he'll head  here. Would be a great get!

Why wouldn't he commit here?  It looks like it's down to us and three FCS schools.
