I talked to DeSoto coach (and unofficial manager of the DeSoto pipeline to UNT) Claude Mathis this morning to get his take on Desmon White.

White, a 5-8, 160 pound senior, committed to UNT last night, as you heard here first on the blog.

UNT will use White as a slot receiver/kick returner. UNT essentially sold White on the idea of playing a role similar to the one Brelan Chancellor has had with the Mean Green for several years now.

Chancellor is great with the ball in space. So is White.

“He will fit in anywhere because he can play anywhere,” Mathis said. “He will be able to make the transition to playing in the slot in college. He is very quick and fast and also brings a lot of intangibles to the table. He has handled all the situations he has faced here playing against some of the best teams in the state.”

I would be happy with a Deonce Whitaker 2.0 in the slot.

Hayden Fry once recruited a kid (Mark Snyder) with less height and weight than Mr. Whitaker and called him a "goat ropin' son of a gun" or was it one of those..... "I'd recruit him in a New York minute" quotes, SUMG? Help me man because I know that you'd know for sure!

Welcome To Mean Green Country, Deonce! :thumbsu:

I vaguely remember Snyder, wasn't he listed as 5'6" and believe it or not from Highland Park?

Yes and yes...

Highland Park HS Band won our 1'st Annual and Last Annual Bands Over Texas Band Day on a Game Day back in the 80's but I'll leave it at that; that is, Band Day. :) (Not sure if I've mentioned it but Band Days really do make a great significant butts in seats promotion. Actually, I think I have mentioned once or twice or thrice....(I'm 62 now and tend to repeat my self, repeat myself, repeat myself.... :( SUMG thinks that with my increasing age that my telephone voice has even gone up an octave or 2 and I sound like Glen Campbell back in the day. Now "THAT" is a bad sign. (And God bless ol' Glen, he's fighting althzeimers).

GMG!

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      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?
