Getting in touch with coach Mathis early. I like that.

Kind of a confusing tape. I think it starts off pointing out #77 and then changes. MaxPreps has his number as 76.

Unfortunately these are not uncommon, hopefully they get that corrected but it could be good for us, unfortunately lots of schools know about Marshall so they will still make that drive/flight just to check them and Texas High etc. So many good, raw athletes out there because they all play everything.

His top 5 are his 5 fbs offers, if we win out of these 5 I'd be happy

I know he is holding out for a UT offer, but I don't know if that happens. Southern Miss has a guy on their staff that was at ETBU the last few years. He is recruiting East TX hard right now. I think it comes down to us and Southern Miss.

And boom goes the dynamite.

His first highlight on his hudl is truly awesome... WIll be interesting to see him battle it out with Parish at LT, he (marshall) seems to have great feet for an OT

He's listed at 6'3. Not exactly ideal tackle height. I'd say he projects more to guard at this level

I saw that but with the # of guards we have added (Both Moses, Spoon, 2018 kids), makes he wonder if they would consider him at OT

Ben Gooding · August 6, 2017

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Now lock him in throughout the process and keep they cherry pickers away. This is a refreshing commit.

Welcome aboard Mr. King!!!

Vito says his wingspan is 6'9 in his post...

One of the better gets of the class so far. Nice job!

That makes him a viable Tackle option. If his arms are that long, and he's 6'3, he can keep his leverage while getting his hands on his man.

Nice commit. Welcome aboard Mr. King!

It was down to us and Southern Miss.

Maybe it's just my interpretation, but it sounds like his coach didn't like that he chose us.

Based on which comment?

Not one particular comment, but rather talking about him getting more offers and saying that kids don't understand the game. Not to mention most coaches who have kids commit to us say something positive about UNT but his coach didn't say anything.

What do you expect from an old SMU assistant.

Read the whole article never got that feel from quotes, every head coach fights for his kids to get the best offers.

Not the coach's decision to make. I guess they feel prestige when a player goes up to a big school. That is why so many talented players sit on the bench at Texas, Alabama etc, etc. Did they come to sit on the bench or play. I think most want to play but only one guy gets to be the qb while 4 therssit on the bench behind him. I wonder if Morris had come to UNT as freshman what kinda of numbers would he have put up?

Good ones. And we would've been competitive while transitioning away from Derek Thompson after his graduation.
