Rb's Jimmerson And Whitfield

Charlie NT 73 · January 28, 2011

I just checked the Rivals site for the North Texas football

commitment list for commitment updates, and player

rating scores.

I do not want to start a debate about how the recruiting

services suck, but, come on Rivals! These two RB's are

great RB's from the DFW area!

Antoinne Jimmerson has a rating score of only 5.3

Zach Whitfield has a more respectable score of 5.4

IMHO, both should be rated 3 Star athletes.

Both are listed in Dave Campbell's top 300.

I think both are DFW top 100 players too.

After watching the video's for both players, I am

very impressed with their abilities, and I am thankful

both decided that North Texas is their college!

GMG!

The fact that both were being recruited by AQ's and chose us is more than good enough for me. I imagine rivals dropped their grades after they committed with us.

It's not how high the recruit is rated, it's how the coaching staff develops the raw talent of the recruit after they arrive.

Hopefully, we now have the coaching staff to accomplish some great development.

I found out the other day I work with Zach Whitfield's cousin.

I love that we signed these guys, but let's not get too short sighted and forget about Byrd. The guy is a very good back.

and....if Hambone's ft is back to operable status then I can absolutely expect nothing but killer stats from him for his senior yr (if we give him the ball!)
