He just committed to us. The defense just got better. After watching his tape, he reminds me of Hamilton. I really like this pick up.

Nice! Hope these moves are a precursor to a move to a 4-3. Mccrae, Pickett, Jacobi Johnson, and these two HS DEs would form a heck of a future DE rotation

Agreed, we have some exciting young talent.

I wonder how committed he is

Here's the original commitment tweet

He retweeted a DCTF article on his commitment to North Texas three hours after he posted this. Regardless two athletic DE's who would likely have bigger offer sheets if not for the current events are committed here early, that's way different than the past.

This is a welcome change of pace and we shouldn't downplay both Eric Mathies and Galen Scott's ability to recruit in addition to Mike Ekeler and Clay Jennings. I have a feeling we are going to get some studs on that side of the ball this class.

I just thought it a little odd given his recent commitment to post all his offers. Don’t often see that.

Yes you do, kids always post their offers even after committing. This year will look alot different in the recruiting world. Kids are having to commit to secure a spot before ever being able to be on campus, take a visit, or attend a camp. This year more than ever we should expect change etc all the way to signing day. These are KIDS trying to make the best decision, in a time of complete uncertainty. I really hope the adults on this board and in this world extend a little grace to these kids as they try and figure all this out.

NO! You give your word as a commitment, and you should immediately bleed Mean Green like the rest of us!!!1!1!!

Unless the ones changing their minds are ballers who were previously committed to other schools, changing their minds to North Texas. In that case, they made a wise choice!

Yeah weird And new to me too.

would like to see him brag about his new Mean Green family. Start retweeting the coaches and interacting with your fellow class commits. Maybe he will do that.

Bragging about the Mean Green, retweeting the coaches, and interacting with your fellow class means nothing. Kade Renfro did the same for months before he unceremoniously dropped us when he started getting P5 offers. The biggest difference with this kid is that he has a P5 offer and still chose us. When Renfro chose us, he didn't have P5s yet. Because of that distinct difference I feel better about us holding onto him. Not him bragging, retweeting, and interacting.

Renfro's recommitment means nothing is for sure, not that it means nothing at all. Personally, I think it's pretty cool to see the future Mean Greeners interacting with each other. Dreaming big. Talking about taking things to a new level. etc

I like to see them do it as well. I just do not think it's an indication of their commitment. Now if I see him starting to attend other camps and tweeting about it like Renfro did, then I will start to question his commitment

Now rated a 3 star, .8416.

Well, my belief that he might stay because he had at least one P5 offer when he committed to us didn't age well.. Damn.
