Yes please lol

I wonder why he hasn't received any P5 offers yet. 12 FBS offers, and the only Louisiana school that has offered him is ULM. His hometown is in far southeastern LA so I don't think location plays in to our favor. 

I would not mind seeing us fill out the rest of the class with JUCO players, especially if they are of this caliber. We are looking at 55 or so players on scholarships being either freshmen or sophomores next season we could use some 2 and 3 year players since we are thin on upperclassmen.

Sounds promising.  Man, he would be a great addition.

[jtm0097]

He has an OV to Houston on the 6th. Hopefully he likes green more than red lol.

[jtm0097]

Commits to Houston. Well that sucks.

It's extremely hard to win them when we go 4-8 & lose the head-to-head matchup.

I somewhat agree, but looking at the depth UH has and our depth, he would almost be assured of a starting job with us, and at least more playing time.

?????  Curious why @Harry posted this in response to Williams not receiving any P5 offers.

*these are recruiting battles you want to win. 
 

of course it’s sucks not getting a recruit you really want but there’s no shame in losing out to a program that’s in a better conference and just recently took you to the woodshed.

I agree with you.  We found the kid, and Houston saw that and jumped at landing him. It happens.  I can live with that because we did find a good player who others saw value in.  Much better to lose these types of battles because it means you are targeting the right kids versus landing kids that you would have landed anyway.

My only thought is it would be nice to get data on why they chose Houston over us -- was it facilities, conference proximity to family etc..

No one ever said recruiting was easy, it's tough and complex as a G5.  All I have ever asked is that we use best practices that we see at the elite G5 programs which are leading to success   /end
