Is Raveon Hoston on the team?

 

I follow him on Twitter and I love this guys work ethic. Obviously his grades suffered but I believe this guy is a beast if he gets on the field.

Sweet Jesus yes please.

*ignoring the North Texas State reference*

His twitter bio says this:

Quote

New Defensive End at THE University of North Texas. The Future. (was not eligible last season)

So by this, it sounds like yes.

What about this?

He also retweeted a reply to the above tweet asking him if he's wearing green next season. To me sounds like he'd be ready to go.

DL would be officially stacked if this comes to fruition. I've heard this quite a bit and still have not seen it happen though.

Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely love it. I just have seen this story from him before. Until we see him in official practice or even on a roster I won't believe it.

I would be shocked, but I applaud his determination.

[Harry]

I really hope this is true.

Whether he ever sees the field or not , I applaud this young man for sticking it out & working in the classroom.. most kids in his situation would have given up last year 

[MeanGreenTexan]

I like that the coaching staff is staying very quiet about Hoston.  And, when asked, they simply say "He's not on our team."  I have no doubt they're doing everything they can behind the scenes though to get him eligible.   Hoping Cinnamon can work a miracle with Mr. Hoston... if she's allowed to work with him. 

Really pulling for this guy to get it together.  He's got a ton of talent, and a DL of Young, English & Hoston would be a force in C-USA.

Saw new DL coach Yellock at the Waco Midway spring game last night.   Getting around to learn the local high schools.

Glad to hear this.  Hopefully, Mr. Player took notice along with Mr. White, Mr. Leveston and our commit, Mr. Carroll.

My recollection says he is enrolled and taking classes at UNT and will walkon in the summer or fall.

[DeepGreen]

C'mon Raveon.  JUST DO IT MAN!

[UNTLifer]

He is my adopted player this year!  Is it illegal if I make contact and constantly harass him to keep hitting the books?

[Cr1028]

Concerns me that he removed the reference to him being a DE at THE University of North Texas from his twiiter page.

I just saw that. Maybe the coaches didn't want to waste their time with the headache of his academic eligibility?

Looks like he might be going FCS/DII

The other guy in the video plays for Texas A&M-Commerce. Wonder if Raveon ends up there?

Yea, maybe they can hook up with Thrilly D out there.

[BTG_Fan1]

About Hoston, he doesn't have his UNT tweet pinned anymore and his profile says he is a 2 for 2 candidate as well... 

Any idea if he has/was going to move on?
