Yes. Didn't think it was that hard to understand.

Is this your idea of bait and switch or do you really think the coaching staff would lead him down this path? Thought in an earlier post you were critical of some of this kid's "abilities" due to his

Looks like a very solid pickup and some natural ability. Would love to see him shave a little time off of his 40.

High risk, high reward recruit.

I like it,

I don't think he's a high risk. If we were bringing him in to play qb then I'd say high risk.

We're bringing him in to contribute which I think he will do. Return specialist to start his career and later could be a guy to get a few carries and/or a few catches a game.

As we saw last year when Jimmerson and Chancellor went down, you need to have a few playmakers to spare.

Where will he be moved? A little small to play QB, don't you think?

From Vito's Blog:

“The kind of offense they run is what I like,” White said. “They want me to return punts and kicks. They also want to use me as slot receiver and a wildcat quarterback like they use Brelan Chancellor. They told me that I will be playing a role like the one he has.”

Not sure what the risk is with this commitment.

As I mentioned earlier, has slot receiver written all over him but I'm sure he's being recruited as an ATH. I'm glad to see a kid who produced at the highest level of high school being rewarded. Tightening the DeSoto pipeline doesn't hurt. Desmon, welcome to the family!

He's the catalyst for one of the top high school teams in the country, and has playmaker written all over him. Small receivers have excelled in the FBS and he looks to be as much of a sure thing as his size allows. We need skill players with a nose for the goal line and he fits the bill. Even if he may not have quite the workout speed that impresses you his game speed does.

Really glad to have you, Desmon.

You're acting as if I don't think he is fast or fast enough. I'm not. All I am saying is if he can get an extra burst, he will be even better.

You mean if someone is faster than that would be better?

LOL, in a sense. What I was referring to was boosting a little more speed to separate himself from defenders once he breaks into the open field. That's all. I don't want his family to come on here and think I'm not happy to have him here. He looks like great pickup.

      This is what I call a “growth game.” This is the kind of game Hodge can use the film from to show the team the razor thin margin between winning and losing against the best teams in our league. If we are who we hope we are, our team walks away from this knowing we CAN beat anyone come conference tourney time, we just have to execute.

      plus let's not forget a Haggerty prayer from 30' going in. we're likely not into the foul game in the last minute or so without that bucket

      Great game, Memphis is a good team and this one came down to the end. However I am still baffled by UNT's inability to inbound the ball, this is a trend that has been going on for a few seasons now. There were several times today that they would inbound the ball directly into a corner trap, many of those instances resulted into a turn over.

      Mean Green Fall At No. 21 Memphis, 68-64

      The Mean Green (10-4, 1-1) got a career performance from senior big man Moulaye Sissoko who poured in a career-high 17 points on eight shots and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the four-point defeat. North Texas’ Brenen Lorient scored a team-high 18 points and was one of four different Mean Green players to score in double figures. Senior Jasper Floyd had 11 points to go along with a season-high six assists. UNT outrebounded the nationally ranked Tigers (12-3, 2-0) 30-21and forced them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists. “If you have told me we would force them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists and outrebound them by nine I would have really liked our chances,” said head coach Ross Hodge. “But it was that stretch in the second half where we didn’t handle their press well and we ended with 16 turnovers. We’ll regroup together and get better from this together.” The Mean Green have a quick turnaround as they host Rice on Wednesday at Super Pit at 8 p.m. CT. UNT is 8-0 at home this season. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and ESPNU.
