Uhm offer him now lol

[Sig381]

Yes please

[Withers940]

Sign me up!!! He's Big and can run/catch

[Venson]

Not the fastest kid, but he is big and strong. They should offer, but they may be waiting based on the fact that he is a Junior right now. He blocks, runs, and catches. Definitely the bigger back that I would like to see.

EDIT: Also since the original thread was made, he's picked up offers from UTSA, Indiana, and Virginia.

Gives you flashes of Singletary and the Troy RB who would take 2/3 hits then go down and always seems to fall forward. This would a major addition not because of the rating/offers but because of the ability to just physically pound away on teams with his size which our current RBs don’t have.

I've always preferred having at least one back on the roster that is in the 220s.

I hope this kid lands in Denton!

Agreed, would love to see him paired up with Smith, Johnson, and Torrey.. would be a very scary and complete backfield with Johnson.

Syracuse just offered him and hired his HS head coach.

Since the coach is in "on field" coach, under the new NCAA rules isn't there a period of time before they can recruit a player from his old school?

Was that for hiring family or hiring coaches?

I'm fairly sure it covers coaches. Something like a 2-year rule??

[El Paso Eagle]

Looking at this, it might just be coaches hired for a non-field position -

(From SBNATION) .  https://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2017/4/12/15267040/ncaa-rule-high-school-coach-recruit-camp-hire

Essentially, it means that anyone associated with a prospect cannot be hired as a non-field coach within two years of the prospect’s signing (read: high school coaches primarily). That is a very limiting rule since there are only nine on-field coaching positions. And if you do hire a high school coach, he can’t recruit a prospect from his former school for two years. The intent here is simple: to prevent bigger schools from creating sham jobs that high school coaches can fill and then the college gain an advantage in recruiting.

seems cut and dry to me.

247 has Kirk Martin listed as his primary recruiter at Syracuse.

If I understand correctly an HS coach hired for an "on-field" position can recruit. It's HS coaches hired for "off-field" positions cannot recruit or the school cannot recruit a player from that coaches former school. The basis being that schools could create positions/jobs to influence a recruit.

I think that was the intent, but I'm interested to see how NCAA adjusts this.

With the new 10th position it seems like some of the P5's could use this to bypass the intent of the rule

I think he was in town this weekend.  Just tweeted that big news is coming soon.  I have a good feeling.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Pull the trigger Garrison!

Hope we can land him!
