Robert Watson - This Kid Is Excited

MeanGreen61 · March 24, 2011

Nothing may come of it, but Robert Watson of 3A state champs West Oso is really excited abut North Texas.

Word is that Watson was offered by Houston, but told that he would need to concentrate on basketball rather than pursue his degree of choice Engineering. Watson ask a friend of mine who is a teacher and former Minnesota Gopher footballer for advice. He wwas told to forget about any school that wouldn't allow him to pursue the education he wanted.

Sent an e-mail to Steve B. with the above info & he passed it on to JJ or one of our coaches. Was just told that Watson's coach received a call from a UNT assistant and that tapes on Watson have been sent.

Nothing may come of this, but the kid and his father thanked the teacher for his interest and help. Watson is a 6'4 guard and an excellent student who's coach thinks he has what it takes to be a very good college player. Will be interested to see what and if anything happens.

Apparently just the other day he was quoted as saying ""I'm waiting for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi to give me a call," Watson said. "I've been playing in front of Corpus Christi fans my whole life and I would like to have the chance to play down here."

Thanks for sharing. March 8th article. I was told about Houston about a week later and sent the e-mail. His coach was contacted by UNT a couple of days ago. What, if anything, will happen ? Who knows.
