Tampering. Terrible. If we continue to put the pieces around him, I think he could have a great year!

Billy did that in the Football thread already. We had plenty of HS players play the last 2 seasons it would take awhile to sit down and navigate all that but would be fun for sure. Before the portal window I sat down along with some help and navigated our contributors. I did not include Special teams, just players that I remembered making contributions Offensive, or Defensively. The amount of young players was astonishing. I included RS Fresh as Soph as far as production as they have had 2 years in college even though I know they have more eligibility than a Soph. 0 Blair Conwright WR 5' 11'' 185 Sr. Lubbock, TX / Coronado HS TCU 1 Isheem Young S 5' 10'' 210 Sr. Philadelphia, PA / Imhotep HS Ole Miss / Iowa St. 2 Juwaun Price RB 5' 10'' 210 Sr. Phoenix, Ariz. / Peoria HS New Mexico St. / Syracuse 3 Jace Ruder LB 6' 2'' 237 Sr. Norton, KS / Norton HS North Carolina 5 Ridge Texada CB 5' 8'' 179 Sr. Frisco, TX / Centennial HS McNeese St. 5 Grant Tisdale QB 6' 0'' 226 Sr. Allen, TX / Allen HS TCU 6 Loronzo Thompson CB 5' 11'' 155 Sr. Friendswood, TX / Clear Brook HS 8 Jordan Brown LB 6' 1'' 240 Sr. Huntsville, TX / Huntsville HS 8 Damon Ward Jr. WR 5' 11'' 204 Sr. Beaumont, TX / West Brook HS 9 Nick Rempert WR 6' 1'' 192 Sr. Batavia, Ill. / Batavia HS Tyler JC / Tulsa 9 Jake Shipley DL 6' 3'' 260 Sr. Indio, CA / Shadow Hills HS Oregon 10 Roderick Brown DL 5' 11'' 290 Sr. Forney, TX / North Forney HS 11 Connor Henderson LB 6' 2'' 235 Sr. Matthews, NC / Porter Ridge HS Cornell 20 Alphie Guillory Jr. S 5' 9'' 195 Sr. DeSoto, TX / DeSoto HS 21 Jayden Hill S 6' 1'' 205 Sr. Gahanna, OH / Gahanna Lincoln HS Ohio Dominican 36 Jaylen Smith LB 5' 11'' 230 Sr. Hamilton, Ontario / St. Thomas More 42 Harold Nash III S 5' 11'' 201 Sr. West Bloomfield, Mich. / St. Mary's Prep Memphis 52 Jenson Walker LS 6' 3'' 235 Sr. Holly, MI / Holly HS Southeast Missouri St. 60 Paula Vaipulu OL 6' 3'' 304 Sr. Channelview, TX / Channelview HS Georgia Tech 64 Jett Duncan OL 6' 1'' 295 Sr. The Woodlands, TX / The Woodlands HS 72 Landon Peterson OL 6' 6'' 295 Sr. Odessa, TX / Permian HS Texas Tech 89 Terrell Dawkins DL 6' 4'' 262 Sr. Concord, NC / Cox Mill HS NC State / South Carolina 4 Chandler Morris QB 6' 0'' 191 Jr. Highland Park, TX / Highland Park HS Oklahoma / TCU 6 Ikaika Ragsdale RB 5' 11'' 215 Jr. Las Vegas, NV / Bishop Gorman HS 7 Shane Whitter LB 6' 0'' 229 Jr. Burlington, NC / Williams HS Oklahoma 10 DT Sheffield WR 5' 10'' 170 Jr. Corinth, MS / Corinth HS Washington St. 11 Jeremiah Aaron WR 5' 11'' 189 Jr. Natchitoches, LA / Pearland HS West Virginia 15 Fatafehi Vailea II DL 6' 1'' 302 Jr. Oakland, CA / Desert Pines HS 23 Oscar Hammond TE 6' 3'' 236 Jr. Collinsville, OK / Collinsville HS Central Oklahoma 24 Chavez Brown LB 6' 1'' 241 Jr. Houma, LA / Terrebonne HS Butler CC 31 Shane Porter RB 5' 10'' 186 Jr. Friendswood, TX / Clear Brook HS K-State 34 CJ Garnett LB 6' 0'' 230 Jr. Keller, TX / Keller HS Missouri St. / Blinn College 39 Shawn Wara RB 5' 8'' 200 Jr. Frisco, TX / Frisco Heritage Benedictine College 41 Sawyer Evans P 6' 3'' 207 Jr. Arlington, TX / Martin HS Texas Southern 41 Cameron Minix S 6' 2'' 195 Jr. Fort Worth, TX / Timber Creek HS Southeastern Oklahoma State 44 Damashja Harris RB 6' 2'' 224 Jr. Killeen, TX / Ellison HS Lamar 57 Austin Williams LB 5' 11'' 239 Jr. Irving, TX / Irving HS 58 Ma'Kyi Lee OL 6' 7'' 313 Jr. Metairie, LA / East Jefferson HS Coffeyville CC/Missouri 74 Larry Moore III OL 6' 6'' 297 Jr. Missouri City, TX / Fort Bend Marshall HS Texas Tech 81 Richard Rocquemore WR 5' 10'' 180 Jr. Mansfield, TX / Legacy HS ACU 88 Xzavior Kautai TE 6' 0'' 240 Jr. Euless, TX / Trinity HS 93 Jheison Saunds DL 6' 5'' 265 Jr. Paterson, NJ / Vance HS Mercyhurst 95 Breylon Charles DL 6' 3'' 256 Jr. New Orleans, LA / Destrehan HS Lamar / Navarro College 97 VJ Bronson DL 6' 3'' 309 Jr. Katy, TX / Taylor HS Lamar / Arkansas St. 98 Seth Ford P 6' 1'' 257 Jr. Round Rock, TX / Round Rock HS West Texas A&M 99 Dadrian Burleson DL 6' 0'' 307 Jr. Dallas, TX / Dallas Skyline HS Texas College 2 Evan Jackson S 5' 11'' 176 So.

To be fair after the F4 run in 2006, several schools tried hiring him away for a few years and he refused. It was beginning to look like he may end up staying at GMU for his entire career until Miami finally lured him away.

He entered the portal on the 10th and he posted our offer yesterday…or we waited to offer. Seems like he’d be a day one back up. If he were to come here, would it be another Mooney situation?

I’d listen to it! Regarding HS recruiting, I think it’s still worthwhile if we’re able to find some instant contributors….even if they might leave (Mercer, Gumms, twins). It also lays the relationship groundwork for future TP movement. But it does feel like the TP is our main way to stay relevant.
