I really like this offer! He will be at UNT camp June 10th

GMG24 · June 5, 2016

Really like this offer! Kid has a cannon!

baberuthbomber8 · June 7, 2016

One thing that stands out over his mobility and cannon is he can place the ball in the right spot. That is huge. I'm really liking these QBs that we are bringing in. Honestly I think they have better tape at times then that FL QB we were going after.

I like Harris a lot, but considering our scheme, I think I would prefer this young man, the one from Belton, the one from Refugio ahead of Harris as a QB...in that order. Hell, let's sign them all.

I would prefer Belton, Refurio/This kid, then Harris.. Just because the Belton Kid has a larger frame and I'm not sure how these guys could handle the size of college ball, just like we worried/discussed with Fine... But I would take any of the 4... But if this kid were to put on some weight It would be very close to the Belton Kid....

To me, Mansell is on a different level than the other 3. Just based on Hudl highlights. I would put Harris slightly above Moscorro, just because he seems to take better care of the ball when in the pocket and while running.
Pearson is a nice QB. I wouldn't mind landing him... I just like the other guys the staff is targeting a little better.

Was at the Tyler camp friday. Says he loves the coaching staff! Is visiting Denton Monday. His is my early prediction to be the 2017 class high school QB if i had to pick today. Things can change real quick. But if i had to pick one today he would be my choice

Do we feel if Cade does become the 2017 QB, do we drop interest in other QBs and focus on another JUCO possibly to come in as well? or do we keep going after another HS arm?

Would think we would sign 2 HS this class, JUCO Or maybe a one and done! If Bama can have a strong year that would be attractive to other transfers!

Thanks for the update jayDee. I also like Seth Washington that we offered earlier this spring. It is amazing what you can attract when you have a coaching staff making a true effort.

Almost certain this is about him

?

baberuthbomber8 · June 22, 2016

he just tweeted it out... Congratulations to him and the staff

Same high school to produced Ryan Mallet

Big get! Staff developed that rapport early on and stayed with this kid. Folks who watch East Texas football say this kid and the kid from John Tyler are the best QB's in that part of the state.

I am super excited that we have a QB commitment for the 2017 class. The only thing i would question is your statement above. If he is one of the best in that part of the state. Not sure is current offer list reflects that or that part of the state is down this year. (I know that last statement is probably not true)

I hope this is a kid we can keep. If he can post his jr stats as a sr he will get some additional looks.

Remember the difference between Means' Jr & Sr seasons? If Pearson doesn't do that, I think he'll be fine.

Its early, and it typically takes East Texas kids a little longer to get the exposure / be seen than kids from other parts of the state. This kid is a really good player, and will likely "blow up" in terms of recruiting as time progresses.

Neither season was good

I really hope we can keep him! Also UTSA now has 2 qb commits.

Color me extremely impressed with this kid. Love his upside, especially his frame which will allow him to get bigger, as well as his speed that can keep a defense honest. My only concern is that I could see the interest in this guy blowup before all is said and done. He is tailor made for this offense and I am sure being with Littrell and OC Harrell is a plus. This is a pickup we probably would not have seen under Mac and Chico.

This is what concerns me. He has all the talent plus under pressure he is still looking downfield! We never saw a talent like this under Mc! (Jr highlights) He will get additional D1 offers ! Having an encoraging season would help us!
