Ke'uan Kinner

UNTLifer · January 5, 2013

This young man is from Little Elm and was the POY in the state. He is a little undersized but is listed as running a 4.3 forty and has racked up all kinds of yards. Surprisingly, he doesn't have any offers. Has anyone seen him play or have any information on why he appears to not being recruited heavily?

Mean Green 93-98 · January 5, 2013

On the recruiting front, he's yet to receive an offer despite his prodigious production, almost completely due to the fact that there are serious concerns about his ability to qualify out of high school. At the moment, any hopes of that happening seem to reside on the results of his ACT test. Recall that qualifying depends on a sliding scale based on GPA and test results, so how he finishes his fall semester and scores on his test will determine whether he will be eligible to play next fall.

If Kinner does get the necessary grades and score, there's a solid chance that Texas could opt to extend him an offer

I actually live directly across the street from the guy. Talk to his grandfather all of the time. He calls me Youngblood. Nice guy. As far as Ke'uan...he's a beast athletically.

Any chance we have a shot at him should he qualify?

I have a buddy who is a coach at Sherman, he said this kid is the real deal. We need athletes like this.

I don't even think Rivals has him rated.

I don't even think Rivals has him rated.

24/7 has him as a 4-star RB, #21 (#17 composite) in the nation.

Take a chance on him and cross your fingers. It helps to be the first one to offer, to show you believe and are willing to take a chance on them. GreenGuy any chance he comes to NT?

cdizzle86 · January 5, 2013

Would definitely like to have this kid!

CurveItAround · January 5, 2013

If we feel like the walkon LB is for real, it helps justify taking a chance like this, but have to be sure this is where we would fire the extra bullet if we find ourself with one.

If he qualifies, it appears that UT will offer as they lost Kyle Hicks to TCU.

Doubt it. UT just hired a new RB coach and already offered another RB. Plus if Kelley leaves Oregon look for them to go after the RB committed there now, name slips my mind.

From utsatailgaters.com

"He's originally from the gulf coast, Corpus Christi ,and only moved to Little Elm for high school. Little Elm sits north of Dallas and although he would like to stay nearby within the state, it's nothing that will make or break his decision. If able to qualify he's looking for the chance to earn playing time as a true freshman and as most kids want, a program that just feels right and a place to call home."

Not rated by anyone but 24/7 sports. Sounds like Denton would be a great fit.

Dontre Wilson from De Soto. It also talks about Adam Taylor from Katy. Dude's a beast, 250 yards and 5 tds in the state championship game this year.

He missed almost all of his junior year while Kyle Hicks tore it up so they offered Kyle instead. That could change now, but Taylor is committed to Nebraska so who knows.

The way Taylor runs reminds me of Adrian Peterson.
