77 TDs is very impressive but I really like that he only had 8 INTs this past season. Pairing that with a 64.6% completion rate and 5617 yards makes him a very enticing player. Given that he played in 4A-D1, there is a little question of if numbers like that translate to D1 NCAAF, but at PWO, it's worth taking a chance.

Kid can play with those stats. Also, he won't be asked to play year 1 most likely and can RS. The more people and talent we can add at QB the better.

I saw he is followed by Hardin-Simmons and SFA staff as well. So it would be impressive to land this kid over full-rides else where, at least to me.

Wouldn't be so sure... one of our own sent him UNTs way.

You are kidding me right? 4A- D1 produces elite college football players year in and year out.

Yes sir, wasn't me but I was asked what I thought about the kid.

That's true, though the level of competition can be very uneven once you drop down into 4A (and even at the big schools is certain districts or regions). I'd think that evaluating a QB on his stats would be tougher to do fairly at that level than if he were a 6A kid in the metroplex.

Stats sure, but his film is phenominal. Drops dimes and has great zip. Isn't throwing to wide open WR on fades he's dropping it in there. He runs to throw which is really tough defensively because you have to honor him as a runner even though he really just wants to throw it.

That's what I thought @AustinFromUNT was driving at, that the stats might not translate well to FBS. I don't think he said anything about his film in that post...

This is what I was trying to say. I went to a 4A high school and it is probably the hardest level to evaluate because it's right on the cusp of being large enough to be a competitive atmosphere, but it's also small enough that there is huge variation in talent level from school to school and district to district.

His film is great. But I would like to see what happens when he is in an even more competitive scenario. What happens against an FBS level pass rush?

My worry is his arm motion looks long. I know it's something that can be cleaned up but love how the staff is adding QBs.. Izzy, Gerber as PWO are great additions. Also, if Augie is really here like it was rumored during the season that's crazy to add these 3 talented kids as PWOs

@GMG24 I know you're a coach(I believe) but thoughts on throwing motion?

Well I will not pretend to be a QB guru, I coach LB's but his motion is pretty long.  Harrell should be able to tighten it up pretty easily.  What I like most is how he gets his shoulders around quickly when scrambling or rolling out to get ready to throw.  I also like that when the pocket gets pushed into his face he doesn't panic.  He stands in there and delivers strikes.  I don't think it's so long that he can't be successful with it, but if you're speaking in terms of ideal mechanics.

      New Commit....Cahmai Crosby, combo guard......Kilgore JC

      Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers.

      What is this program missing?

      Defensive recruiting/coaches have taken a backseat to offensive recruiting/coaches. I truly hope Morris quickly figures out that defense is necessary for winning. We just can’t rely on out scoring teams. I also hope Morris starts protecting the defense with his offensive play calls. When the defense just got off the field after a long drive by the other team, don’t be so aggressive with long passes that have us turning the ball over in less than a minute. Try to burn some clock and sustain a drive allowing the defense to rest and get adjustments from coaches.

      There is a certain coach in the Piney Woods that fits that criteria and has wanted to be at UNT for years.

      Its all about recruiting, it takes years for a coach to develop a consistent recruiting cycle, and Morris has only had one full year of recruiting, I do think the program is going in the right direction.
