"Hey Tiago, we erect statues of DT's around these parts."

Need this guy. 

Since our offer, NSMU, Northwester State, and ULM have all offered. And still has the Lousiville offer from 8/2018. I have no idea if that's still an honored offer. 

Still sits at a .8316, three star.

Anybody know the story on this young man?  Are we still in the mix?  Found a nice article on him.

Good question. Louisville was his "biggest" offer and they signed 25 players, including 3 DTs.  Everyone else that offered would seem to have a place for him - although ULM signed two DTs already including one rated over .85 from The Colony that we did not seem to offer?)

It is my understanding we are only getting JUCO/Transfer portal guys with the remaining scholarships.

If we are willing to pass up on a talented high school DT in favor of a short term strategy then we have a big problem.

Said Talented HS DT may not be nearly as talented as a guy from Portal or JUCO.  Look at SMU and UH rosters.  Littered with P5 kids they never had a chance in hell to land out of HS, now on their roster.  I'm not saying it is a guarantee way to work, but I like getting more talented kids than we could normally land and seeing how they do. 

I agree passing on a guy who could help you for 3/4 years possibly for one that can help for maybe 2 is a big gamble.

I can see passing on skill players but not a DT

Pretty much all of these uncommitted high school players who we offered have not been recruited by us for some time.
