Ruben Tshilombo: DE; Byron Nelson High.  6'4" and 230 lbs. machine.  I found him while look at their QB, Tom Von Grote.

There could be a number of things that are influencing his lack of offers such as him being a late bloomer, grades, attitude, etc. Sometimes, coaches will not vouch for their players as well. This happened to a guy I played with. He ended up having to play D3 ball instead of D1, even though he was the best athlete on the field. A coaching change mid year screwed his offers (before the age of Twitter).

I don't know the young man, but he has the size to play. Honestly, he reminds me of that DL from Flower Mound that came here last spring. I don't believe he made the fall roster. Maybe he's a PWO candidate similar to the kid from Flower Mound.

I went ahead and sent his hudl link to our DL and DC. Maybe they will take a look for us.

Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands.

He is too small weight wise to play interior currently, and not twitchy/explosive enough to be an edge rusher.  He'd need to put on 30/40 pounds minimum to play interior and sometimes thats a scary projection when you won't know if they will maintain the things that caused you to offer them.  I'd offer him a PWO and see if he can put the weight on he needs to be good.

It looks like he also played RB. They could probably add a few pounds and/or maybe move him to LB. He seems to have decent speed on his film and did well against some larger OL.

      I've been griping about this for decades at this point. It is amazingly dumb and does nothing for us. Did he have a better deal on the table? Unlikely.. Would it keep him here if he did well and a big program came calling. No. It doesn't do a dang thing for us. Yet again, and again,and again, and again we do it. It costs us every single time.

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick
