Wondering if Zach Orr can put in a good word. Gonna see this kid Friday when DeSoto host Cedar Hill in the Beltline battle.

I spoke to a DeSoto fan at the game and it appears UNT has a good shot at landing a smaller tight end H-back athlete from DeSoto. It appears that it may be between us and Navy. The kid can evidently play and is still somewhat under the radar.

It sounds like the defensive end we have a commit from may be able to return to play in the playoffs for DeSoto which I thought was good news. His broken leg was a clean break and should heal fairly quickly.

Sign him up. Rivals list him as 5'8" and 160 lbs, or a clone of Marcus Camper/Troy Redwine. Bring him in, put him on a speed and strength program and turn him loose.

Unless 5'8 180 actually means 5'6" 160...

White has now won SportsDay’s offensive player of the week honor three times during the past two seasons. … The senior has completed 71.4 percent of his passes this season and has yet to throw an interception. …

White has no FBS offers yet. “If he was 6-2, 6-3, he’d probably be the top quarterback in the state,” Mathis said.

With as much time as they've spent scouting the Desoto team I don't think there is any way that our recruiting staff is not familiar with his ability.

I see that 247 hasn't rated him yet but they keep a composite average from other sources which they convert to their numbers and that rating is .8111. That's a 3-star athlete. They also mention that he was District Co-Offensive Player of the Year in 2012. I believe that if he were playing receiver this year, rather than quarterback, that he would already have an offer.

Offer with a chance to compete at QB, but be honest about a switch to slot receiver or 3rd down back if QB doesn't work out.

Size is the reason he is where he is. It's very high risk/reward, but why not? He has been a star at the highest level of Texas HS football.

I bet he could contribute somewhere.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

      Thank you for this insightful recap Billy.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.

      SMU 's New Facility

      Many people on this board, constantly talk about competing with SMU. We should also pay attention to what TCU and other programs are doing, so we have a bar to set for ourselves. Ignoring the competition, gets us where we are now.
