5'9" 180 lb running back from Denton Ryan. We have offered. We appear to be his first offer. Had 877 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns last year. Also added 111 tackles as a sophomore at linebacker. Could be a defensive offer, but I'm thinking running back for now. 

Highlights:

I would be curious if he has the ability to move to safety.  His defensive highlights and tackling ability are impressive, but he is too small to play LB.

He's probably fast enough and is a good worker and player overall so I'd guess he could make a switch if asked.

I feel like this and some of the Florida school offers seem like hybrid players?

Since Billy said RB, I have to assume he will be a LB. RIght?

(Plus Vito said he projects as a LB in college.)

Crap. You're right.

Reasons why I see him as a running back and not a linebacker:

1. Sweet cutting ability

2. Stature. 5'9" makes him a well put together RB, but a short linebacker with limited frame to grow into.

3. Got off zero blocks in his highlights. That's possibly the most important thing I look for in LB highlights. He was touched by six blockers, just twice by linemen. Of those six, three just tapped his pads as he was passing by them, twice they were lunge cut blocks, and one RB kind of blocked him right before he tackled the QB coming behind him.

I saw a good athlete who likes to tackle, playing LB. I see him as an RB, maybe a safety as well. You all would think the same thing had my reign of terror not ended.

I think he would play that Rover- all over Safety for the Defense.. could sit a year possibly, but to me he looks like a smaller Myles Jack.. would be awesome if he did hit a growth spur once at UNT and could play in the box..

I've honestly paid very little attention lately, but it sounds like Ashton Preston, a 5'10 cornerback, is our rover right now. Also, JUCO LB Eji Ejiya, somewhere around 6'3" 220, said he was recruited to play that position during his recruitment. Sounds like we'll have different body types at that position, including Davis.

Yeah, I've just been busy with my last semester of school and GMAT stuff. Plus with RV I've just lost a lot of motivation towards UNT athletics in general lately. And I start my full-time job in a month, so I knew last signing class would be the last one I'd be able to put a whole lot of time into.

I just saw the CHHS kids. As far as getting a kid who a P5 school is actively recruiting, like that WR, I'll have to see this staff do it before I expect it. The QB looks like he could be a good option. Although I'm not expecting a whole lot more QB offers for this class. I think they're going to start to narrow things down and lock up a QB this summer.

Thank you! Still planning on keeping everything up to date. Just not as up to the minute as it has been. Glad to see other people picking up the slack. Expecting a lot more commits this summer than we had last summer. Should be fun to track.

While i have been lured to this thread under false pretenses, i will say that this kid has been offered by New Mexico and Fresno State since he committed to play for us... If he gets the "i want to go away from home" bug, he now has viable options.

Everything I hear still leads me to think he'll want to stay close to home. We'll see (and cross our fingers). He's a great talent, if a bit immature, particularly in the locker room. That too shall pass.

      What did you pay? I thought individual sessions would be $20-25, and now I'm seeing resale tickets via AAC website for < $10.

      UNT enrollment declining

      I'm sure the Master's programs that UNT is seeing enrollment drops in are the university's top profit center. Their student population probably uses the least amount of on-campus resources during the program compared to undergrads and PhDs, and they're probably overpaying or seeing less student aid usage to be in the programs. The flip side of the coin is that it's entirely possible that people are starting to realize that employers don't really care about Master's level paper as much as they did 20+ years ago. As the state of the world is going this week, if there is a prolonged economic downturn and a depressed hiring market for undergrads, most universities generally see an uptick in kids graduating and keeping on with it into a Master's program. I would advise undergrads that they're lighting money on fire, but if you can't find a job or start paying on loans, it can seem like a real option to keep learning. Will it result in a higher level of pay once they first time enter the workforce? Probably not, especially in today's world of AI threatening lower entry-level jobs, and H-1Bs threatening the rest. But the average Gen X parents will still push University degrees as a solution to all their unemployed kids' problems, just like the Boomer parents did before them.

      Speakeasy Scrappy Hour

      Great bar environment and even better seafood restaurant next door. If you want a killer Italian Meat sandwich, arrive early enough to get one from Enzo's next door. Points if you sneak it into the Wilfred. 😅 Kudos to getting them to change the door pincode. I think it had been set to the year of Woodstock since the Wilfred opened.

      Coach O to Texas State

      Is it lateral if: TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us Memphis and USF go to the ACC UTEP is in Mountain West We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA? That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.
