I would offer him "preferred walk-on" status if nobody comes in late and offers and see how it all plays out. I feel for the young man, but we have more pressing needs than another RB at this time.

100% agree that we have more pressing needs, but not a lot of resources are needed to grab low hanging fruit. 12 miles down the road is easy pickings, one phone call, one visit, kid can play, at a high level, and is a complete back in all regards. A pipeline into his district wouldn't be a bad move either.

true...no excuse that a visit isn't made with the numbers that he put up and the close proximity to the school.

Hunter Lee put up some pretty good numbers rushing and receiving for a few years in one of the toughest districts (Plano schools, Allen and Hebron) in the state. Seems like he could be a pretty good passing down back and worth a shot if there is a 'ship available.

I still can't believe no one has offered Joe Minden. I know we're set at QB...but I think someone's gonna get a good player if they offer him.

As to the D lineman mentioned in the article, I looked him up. Marcquel Sheppard is listed as being 5'10", 270....so I'm sure the height is why he has no offers. But still.....in my years of following NT....some of our best defensive linemen have been 5'10 or shorter: Walter Chapman, "Booger" Kennedy, Jimmy Odoms.

I'd definitely allow Marcquel to walk-on....if no one offers him. Heck he was Def. MVP of a pretty good 4A league.

poor tackling can make people look really good.

That said, if he is 6' or taller and truly has 4.5/4.6 speed why not recruit as a safety?

I would agree with the poor tackling statement and saw some of that in the video. He also breaks tackles and forces a missed tackles all over the place. Most importantly is that he is thinking on his feet and can project where the holes are going to be. I think I also saw a 1 handed reception in the first stages of the video. Not bad!

I think NT should get Hunter's press agent, he is getting a lot of ink. The facts are that no one not even a fc school has thus far offered him a ship. Why, do you think if he is such a great player that this is occurring?. Facts, are there hundreds of good to great high school players that just don't project to the college ranks. For every Kennedy or Quinn that is successful there are many more that fail. It comes down to a coaching decision of who they can recurit has the optimun chance to help the team. It is an interesting artcile because it states that he is almost identical to his teammate with a ship to Notre Dame but then goes on to say he is not as strong or as quick.

I would be happy if he got a ship from NT because it would be an interesting career to watch. However, with this NT team if a borderline player is recruited; it might make a lot more sense to go for a defensive tackle a la Cantly of a couple of years ago.

And if on Feb 2nd we look up and the rest of our spots are filled with more pressing needs, ala DT or any Oline, then I would be more than happy that we passed, but with 17 on board, unless we get a bunch of last minute guys, I'd hate to see a scholly go ungiven when I think this kid could help in a number of ways.

And agreed, he must have family in Belo.

I can attest (first hand, and not from the stands mind you) how good this kid is. West Virginia finally got smart and gave the scholarship to Paul Millard. The same will eventually happen for Hunter. Someone is going to get a great player. Being an alum, it IS frustrating that they have not pursued him as of yet.

I believe that article says McDaniel is a little quicker but Lee is a little stronger. I would definitely bring in the McKinney North DL if no one else offers. We need all the defensive help we can get. .

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
