Trying to swoop in at the last second?

Looks like it, 247 shows him as "warm" to UNT.

MeanGreenTexan · January 31, 2017

Committing to VT would be a no-brainer for him if that offer were still good. Doubt it is. According to his 24/7 profile, we're the only team he's 'warm' on. Looks like this may be an issue where the other offers he had dried up and he's left with us and some FCS schools... like Siggers.

Makes me assume staff knows Bradley is going to flip to Houston

UNLV offer was still good.

That would seem to be likely

Green Crazy · January 31, 2017

that tape is pretty impressive. i'd like to see what he could do in green and with the ball in his hands.

Welp, I just want one more 3 star to be happy with this class and an explosive playmaker would be a solid place to get it.

Also of note: we have a certain JUCO transfer QB who played at Eisenhower Aldine. Just saying.

BTG_Fan1 · January 31, 2017

Don't think this has anything to do with the possibly that Bradley is leaving... The staff has talked about how we needed WRs and with us losing 4 of our WRs in Goree, TT, Buyers, and Robinson it makes sense to bring in more WRs...

Guyton is 1, Bradley is 2(which he could RS since he was a QB).. outside of that we don't have any other WRs coming in with Siggers looking/reportly being an RB.

ahem, Tre'Von, if you're reading this, @BTG_Fan1 is disturbed mentally and only speaks for himself and the deep void from which his illogical thoughts spew.

You will likely step in and be an immediate contributor. If you doubt this as a possibility, just ask Rico Bussey.

I hope one day I'm alive to witness UNT being on the flip side of this perception...with the VaTechs of the world, of course.

Never said he couldn't come in and play lol, I believe he was a former WR before QB, but the staff would play whoever the best is... Also Rico missed a bunch of time and Tyler Wilson as well didn't play a huge role till the bowl game.. Bradley I hope would come in here and make the staff not RS him, but there is a chance he could be.. Which if he did go to UH he would be RS most likely with him learning to play defense as well..

That's good news!

MGB: It looks like another team other than UNT might have come in late on key Mean Green target

We need this kid he is a beast!

I was wondering the same thing... the kid didn't tweet out anything about a new offer... so I wonder if he is debating between us and someone else.. or if someone offered and told him to keep it quiet?

BillySee58 · February 1, 2017

The only other offer he has received since he decommitted is Texas Southern. Maybe that was his only other active offer and was going to commit there until he got an offer from an FBS school (us).

Unless there is some other mystery offer.

I hope Bradley sticks, but I don't think you offer a kid less than 24 hours till NSD unless some plans have changed.

Don't so either but if you can add kids that are talented this late that are over looked, then you offer.. We need WR depth.. WR and OL were 2 spots we needed to add a lot of kids.. SL and GH talked about how they didn't/couldn't run full practices because of the lack of depth, losing 4 WRs doesn't help.. I hope can hang onto Bradley, but if he goes to UH you can't hate on the kid, but I'm sure that the staff will keep adding kids even after NSD.

We know we that talent can be added after.. Look at Jenkins, Hood... even Hoston
