First known NT football recruit 2007

[OldTimer]

Cooley posted this on the "other board" ...the first FB recruit committment for 2007

source Dave Campbells Texas Football:

Abilene Cooper OL Taylor Insall, 6-4, 255, 5.0

[GreenBat]

A 255 lb offensive lineman that run a 5.0. NT has got plenty of undersized slow guys. See this year's OL.

5.0 is not slow. Especially not for a lineman, Im sure the kid will put on 40+ pounds during his tenure here.

I don't care if he weighs 160lbs and runs a 6.0 as long as he can freakin block somebody.

[Mad Hatter]

He's already a commitment? Or just a recruit?

[OldTimer]

Campbells TX football shows he has committed...but obviously hasn't signed LOI.

So we have a pre-recruiting signee, maybe stealth recruiting is gone?

5.0 is fine for an OL. Yeah you would like 4.8, but like was said above as long as he can block and stay on it and not miss blocking assignments then his smarts are more valuble than his speed.

Thats very surprising that we already have a commit. Very un-DD like. And yes he may be 250 but who knows when that weight was recorded.

Yea, DD can NOT be happy with the fact that he has openly committed so early.
