Where did this Roberts kid go?

Texas High School Football site

I don't know if Luke Roberts committed anywhere.

Statistical Information

2006

2581 pass yds, 29 pass TD

61% completion rate

256 rushes, 1749 rush yds, 35 rush TD

The kid put up some amazing stats, and if you research articles about his games, he carried the Bobcats. He's seems to fit the bill of "athlete" that could possibly excell at any of several positions.

Perhaps Comfort native Ty Rexrode can put in a good word to Coach Dodge about him. Roberts looks like an excellent candidate for a greyshirt offer.

Can someone please help me understand what it takes to be a 3-satr recruit?

I don't even think that Rivals can explain that one. It takes a rating of 5.5 - 5.8 to receive 3 stars. Vizza, Davis, Mosley, and Roberson all were rated 5.4. If we were a BCS school that would have been rated at least 5.5. I consider them as 3 star players, regardless.

Rivals is about as good as we have but they have plenty of flaws. The BCS is one of them but not the only one by far. They do not give enough weight to late bloomers, all-star teams, heart, leadership, etc. They rely too much on size and speed. There are major disagreements between recruiting services. For example, Justin Padron has one of the highest ratings (at least for us) in Scouts. He was ranked the #36 LB and given a grade of 78 (Division 1A prospects get a grade of 40 until analyzed). He was tied for our lowest rated on Rivals with a grade of 5.1 (Division 1A prospects usually get a mimimum grade of 4.9).

I do think that you will see our Rival ratings go up considerably if Dodgeball is a success. They will rely more on TD's judgment as being a good evaluator of talent. In other words, if Todd Dodge is interested in him, he must be a little better than we figured.

      Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support

      honest question...why are y'all expending all this energy to complain about it here instead of collecting grievances and sending it direct to Mosely? he's the AD of a mid-tier athletic program...it's not like you're trying to get T-Swift's ear.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      as of 1/24, here are Lunardi's (who I hate) bubble teams and their resumes: UNT - 15-4, 6-1 AAC, 46 NET, 0-3 Quad 1 games Last 4 In - - Pitt - 13-6, 4-4 ACC, 34 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - San Diego St. - 13-5, 6-3 MWC, 42 NET, 3-3 Quad 1 games - Ohio State - 11-8, 3-5 BIG, 29 NET, 3-6 Quad 1 games - Texas - 14-6, 3-6 SEC, 32 NET, 3-5 Quad 1 games Last 8 Out - - Nebraska - 12-8, 2-7 BIG, 63 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Indiana - 14-7, 5-5 BIG, 68 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Cincinnati - 12-7, 2-6 Big 12, 48 NET, 0-6 Quad 1 games - SMU - 15-5, 6-3 ACC, 44 NET, 0-4 Quad 1 games - VCU - 16-4, 6-1 A10, 45 NET, 0-1 Quad 1 games - Arizona St. - 11-8, 2-6 Big 12, 59 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Xavier - 13-8, 5-5 Big East, 55 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Wake Forrest - 15-5, 7-2 ACC, 71 NET, 1-5 Quad 1 games it's pretty tough to make the argument that our resume is better than any of those Last 4 In as things stand...especially as all 4 will have more Quad 1 games throughout the rest of the year. that said, I think we're pretty damn comparable with those next 8 schools. we'll almost certainly only have one more potential Quad 1 game...and that'd be a neutral site re-match with Memphis, which ideally is for the auto-bid. this just more and more underscores how we need to be doing so much more in our non-con scheduling. I'd say there's a path, but it's quite slim. this projection also only has one MVC and one A-10 program in...which seems ridiculous...and the path in get's even tighter should there be a few conference tourney upsets. keep winning, hope Memphis keeps winning as well and hopefully we're cutting nets in Ft. Worth and this whole conversation is moot

      The two requisites, as I see it, for us to make progress in attendance, revenue, and community support is an AD who is both ebullient and creative. We currently have an AD who is diametrically neither. In my memory the only leader we have ever had who possessed those qualities was Hayden Fry.
