We dont have one. The only way for a fan base to get constant recruiting coverage is to have a site associated with a network and enough subscribers to warrant hiring manpower to cover it.

LOL.  Those recruiting sites get info from the coaches.  There are several posters over on the recruiting forum who... you know... know... some people.  It's about the same level of actual hard info you would get from a rivals site, but for free.

I'll disagree with you on this one.They get their info from more than just coaches now. 

They also get it from twitter and other social media, so do the guys on the recruiting forum.   The main source of info is still the coaches, they are the ones who know who is actually getting offered or not.

Remind me again why is this even a topic here?  We have to give our guy his chance and we can not worry what everyone else is doing.  I am a little worried? Of course but I am willing to give the good guys a chance to win.

I'm just going to be like @UNT90 and say I told you so... I'm the only person that mentioned Wilson as a HC on this board. 

Keep your "I told you so" for after the season. If Wilson wins 2 or 3 games this year and this LSU LB ends up being an average CUSA player, you didn't tell anybody anything.

Careful. People will hate you if you are right too often, especially when they held the opposite opinion. 

Its a curse that some of us are bound to live with... Forever...

I agree, I just like how Wilson able to get the players and make them play for him.  His relationship with his players is pretty cool, ultimate players coach.  Getting the players is only 20% of the battle.. development is the major key to success.

Quite possibly could be. Time will tell. He could fall into the Marcus Trice catagory. 

Im just leery of any P5 transfer. Usually doesn't work out.

Then he would be a phenomenal player. We'll just be getting more years out of English.

Wilson is a better recruiter than Littrell IMO. However, its not a major concern at this time. I still think Littrell is a better fit as a HC and has a better staff. I trust Littrell and his offensive system vs Wilson and his probable pro style offense in the state of Texas.

We're in the same boat as UTSA: Atrocious season, new coach, diminished CUSA. It's a good yardstick to measure how Littrell does.

I guess this is the best place then. I didn't know if maybe there was someone who was a dedicated resource that was a twitter jockey who kept info going real time. Thanks for the help. And no, I'm not new to the internet, AL Gore stole my idea.

On this board pay very close attention to anything posted by BillSee58.  He's our defacto recruiting expert.

I also think Littrell is a better fit for us.   I just gotta have a little fun being the first person and pretty much the only person saying he's a potential hire and then he went to a rival.

Big difference between would, could, and should, 

And did I mention I'm leery of any P5 transfer?

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      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?

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