Big Buzz for North Texas

Brett Vito, who covers North Texas for the Denton Record-Chronicle, passed along an interesting note: Kimball defensive end Robert Williams is expected to visit North Texas this weekend.

Getting Williams would be a major coup for North Texas. Williams is one of the top four or five defensive end prospects in the area. He has been offered by Washington State, Iowa State and UTEP. So North Texas gives Williams an option close to home.

Up against some of those schools, I think it's a major achievement to just have him agree to a visit. And, just getting them on campus is half the battle.

Hope this one comes through.

believe he wants to play Basketball also, hopefully DD and JJ will accomodate him as he would be a huge signing for us and also give shove into the upper echelon of DISD talent

If we really want this young man I hope Coach Dickey will arrange for AA to visit with him and tell him how nice it was to play two sports at North Texas.

Wouldn't NCAA rules prohibit AA from doing this? Recruits can't make contact with alumns.

Deep is right, Ole Miss is being looked at because Deuce McAllister came in contact with 2 recruits who had already committed there.

Uh, that would violate NCAA rules.

greensteve · January 28, 2006

That is correct that is a violation..no contact..of couse that happens on almost every visit to every college by almost every recruit, but it is against the rules.

Now---would it still be against the rules if they happened to meet in a video room, and watched a couple of quick films of AA destroying offesive lineman as well as dunking on muts.

Any word on prospects who may have been at the game?

I don't know if this was the kid, but there was a guy at tonights basketball game that sat next to me that introduced himself as Robert and I could have sworn he said Willams to Coach Evans but I could be mistaken on the last name. It may not be the same guy as this kid was a little over 6 foot but looked more like a WR/DB prospect. I didn't stand up next to him but I would say he was between 6' and 6'2" and around 190 lbs. I did notice Coach Evans went really quick past him, possibly some recruiting rule, and told him he would be able to talk to him more tomorrow. Anyone know why this would be? Rules about official visits?
