‘22 OT Howard Sampson - Humble

[GrayEagle]

So much for moving up to the best G5 (P6) conference's effect on recruiting.  However, if Sam(p)son becomes what his coach predicts and we can get Coy Eakin and maybe a couple of exceptional transfers, we'll be ok...or at least as ok as we can be with 15 defections and likely a lame duck coach.

Eakin to Tech, North Texas to the cellar.

As a credit to the young man, Eakin parlayed a great championship football game into a bunch of offers but signing a WR isn’t going to make or break a team.

I agree, but it was the way we publicly recruited him to the point of jackassery and still missed out. This, plus the Bloesch to qbs thing, the lack of a notable recruiting class two days before signing day, and the loss of the twins has me beyond frustrated.

Yep, the current trajectory of the program is similar to Enron, Lehman Brothers, Countrywide Mortgage, etc.. Sell now and get out while you can.

Is this offer/Recuit real? Asking for a friend that’s been confused by fake coaches/recruits/offers the last several days.

I believe he is already signed a letter of intent. Very real and binding commitment.

Transfers to North Carolina.

He was terribly underrated.  He should have been at least in the 84-85 range.  As a freshman he worked his way to the second unit.

TCU and North Carolina both went after him heavily.

Hate that we lost him.
