For some reason, that link to the D-RC is broken. Anyway, Brett speculates that we're going to steal Dallas Woodrow Wilson LB Chad Polk on signing date. He is currently committed to Sam Houston State. May be a great player though, who is being shunned because he's undersized....

I found his camp results to be pretty good until I saw the best vertical leap of the OLB prospects.

I did find this article from Corbett Smith which gave some stats and stated that he was at one time on the DMN Area Top 100.

My feelings right now are if I'm at an FCS school and get some one of this caliber then I think that it's great. But, if I'm at an FBS college then I believe that it's a reach. My apologies if I'm wrong.

A little more on Polk:

The 6-0, 190-pound Polk was one of the top linebackers in the area this season. During the regular season, Polk had 98 total tackles, 14 sacks, two forced fumbles, five pass break-ups, and a blocked kick.

For the better part of the year, Polk was listed No. 86 in the HSGametime Area Top 100. He fell out of the current rankings, as those with offers from FBS schools moved in.

Polk did have an offer from a Big 12 school -- Baylor -- earlier in the recruiting process. But when he attended a Baylor camp, according to Estes, he didn't perform well, and the scholarship offer was rescinded. That, combined with a clerical error during a combine that misstated one of his recorded times, had Polk drop in the eyes of many schools, said Estes.

"Chad's a heck of a football player," Estes said. "My guess is they'll be a lot of Division I schools wondering on how they missed him once it is all over with."

Sounds like a player who could potentially have a lot of upside. With his size, I do not see him starting at any defensive position his freshman year. But after a year or two with our new drill sergeant, he could be well worth the risk.

EDIT: Just saw that GrayEagle linked to the same story. At any rate, that's the pertinent info from the story.

4 year starter. Only other 4 yr starter at Wilson is now in the NFL. Speaks volumes to me.

I don't care what the numbers say, give me a kid who knows the game and plays with passion and purpose, and coach will find a way to use him.

This class is shaping up to be strong, and I love our pipeline in DISD and Cedar Hill/Duncanville.

I assume you're talking about Sergio Kindle, but he went to Dallas Wilson. Either way, 4 years as a varsity player is impressive.

I like Lemon's stats: Sr. 98 tackles, 14 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 5 pass breakups, and a blocked punt.

4.5 speed doesn't hurt, Named all central Texas, offers from Florida International, UH, La Tech, Missouri, New Mexico st, Rice, A&M, per his web site.

The only stat that kept him from a big time AQ program is his height. I was talking more height/weight measurables than on-field performance. I agree, his game stats speak for themselves, nearly a sack per game. That's huge.

You mean Polk's right?

Lemon is the O-lineman from Marble Falls.

Nevertheless, Polk looks like a nice pickup. Reminds me of Stokojovic and Lee. Just a flat ass football player who flies all over the field making plays!

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
