Just watched the first few minutes of his tape.. Wow, really like this kids tape and he is a big time under the radar guy..

Kid was pulling away from everyone, and was also on KR duties. Kid could high point the ball as well and pick it over DBs.

Has some quicks and what great size!

UNTLifer · January 17, 2018

MaxPreps has his stats as:

30 catches for 785 yards and 8 TD's. Like his film.

Big receiver, good hands. Me like.

Yes. How this guy possibly slipped through the cracks is a mystery. Big, strong, fast and a great tape. Would be a great addition to develop as Bussey, Law, and Guyton get into their junior season.

According to 24/7, no offers prior to this semester. Wonder if he was having trouble getting a qualifying test score or something, and now that he has... look out! He's obviously a nice player. Glad we're one of the first to offer. Hopefully other interested schools are already full at WR after the early signing period, and don't want to use an offer on him.

Just going from his jr to sr highlights, the QB may have made a big difference. Lots of underthrown balls where he doesn't get to highlight his catch and run ability, but does show his acrobatic receiving ability. Senior season, different qb different story.

Also, may have taken it more seriously, as he's showing a bit more polish in routes from one to the next.

Noticed he was a little slow off the snap in the Sr highlights. That explosiveness is certainly something I know coaches Filani & Womack can help with.

His top-end speed is pretty dominant at his level though.

Teammate of Jordan Hunt at Wylie. We recruited their QB, Stacy Connor, who ended up at BYU after committing to UNLV. Wylie finished the year at 3-8 so he may have been overlooked.

GrayEagle · January 21, 2018

If we take one more receiver this should be the one. He won't be under anyone's radar very long as 247 has given him a rating of .8299.

TheReal_jayD · January 23, 2018

Believe ours was a blue shirt offer.

BTG_Fan1 · January 23, 2018

Sucks we couldn’t get him but glad he is going to a place like UTEP.. We need the Rice/UTEPs is CUSA adding talented kids like this to improve the conference!

Since he was reporting an official offer from North Texas, I believe he would be considered a recruited player and therefore would not be eligible to receive a blue shirt (at least that is the way it is supposed to work).

Official? I believe he just said offer. But with 4 to maybe 5 spots left in class they planned on using 2 of the 5 spots on wr with one already signed.

I suppose it could get into a pretty gray area when the kid reports an offer and the services report that he received an offer, but the school claims they never offered and then want to use a blue shirt later.

Regardless, it does seem that we likely only had 1 WR scholly left and 2 potential players.

I highly doubt the NCAA uses online recruiting websites as their sources for offers.
I bet Littrell & Co. knew what they offered. If a legit 2018 offer, we may have just been out-recruited by Dimel & Co. If a blueshirt offer, and UTEP offered a legit 2018 offer, you can't blame the kid.

Best of luck to Andrew, but I like the Jyaire signing better.

Some guidelines regarding 'recruited athlete':

How does the NCAA define whether a prospect is considered a recruited athlete?

A prospect is considered a recruited athlete if the college takes one of the following actions:

If they provide the prospect with an official visit.
If they have an off-campus contact with the prospect or the prospect’s parents or legal guardians.
If they offer the prospect a National Letter of Intent or an athletic scholarship agreement.
If they initiate a telephone conversation with the prospect or his parents or legal guardians more than one time.

Lots of confusion, it appears on what an offer is. An offer or committment does not really bind anyone to anything. It is basically a promise of a future action. A school that reneges on their promise, will certainly suffer damage if word gets out and it hinders future recruiting.

Also all unaccepted offers expire at some point, it maybe in hours, days or till the player signs somewhere. Most offers are conditional based on a number of factors including: time period, availability of scholarships, recruits acceptance into school and most common the inability of the school to find a better prospect.
