'15 WR Sam Mays (Houston Kinkaid)

6'3" 180 lb receiver. Did I mention we were targeting a lot of outside receivers? Ranked 91st in the preseason Texas Top 100 on rivals. Had 1025 yards receiving and 15 td catches on 60 receptions. Also holds offers from Houston, Illinois, and Fresno State.

I don't feel super confident about this kid, but I am starting to wonder if we may actually have a shot.

Houston would likely be the favorite here, but they already have 2 outside receivers committed this class and signed 5 or 6 (I believe they may be grayshirting a receiver) last year. They throw the ball a lot, so that may not be a big deal. BYU is a very good program, but you never know if they really have a legitimate shot at a kid if he isn't Mormon, which I don't know if Mays is.

Illinois would be tough, but they just got a commitment from AD Miller last night. May not affect Mays, but you never know, plus Illinois is far and not a great program. We beat them out for Kidsy before, so it's possible. Then Fresno State may be a good fit, but that's pretty far. Just depends what this kid's priorities are with proximity, playing time (depth chart), conference exposure, and winning. We may be able to offer him the best combination of these 4 out of the schools after him.

Problem is, I don't know if this kid has actually visited yet, how hard we're recruiting him, or if he's shown much interest in us at all.
