6'4" 180 lb receiver from Tyler John Tyler. We are his first offer. This is likely because his production has not been great, but his potential is very impressive. Had about 368 yards receiving as well as 4 receiving touchdowns on 29 catches. Also plays basketball.

Highlights:

That could be the best thing that happened to us all year.

Bendy had a very underwhelming senior season. Hopefully he can put it all together in college, but it's very risky getting a guy who is 6'4"+ but wasn't even first-team all district before he graduate

Rated a 73 on ESPN. Good for a rating of 3-stars.

Good job by the staff! This is a kid who could really blow up with a big summer in 7on7 tournaments, camps, or if he has a big senior season.

That's what I've been saying its going to take. Convincing recruits that, even though their recruiting could blow up, he doesn't need to wait, and that we're the right choice for him.

Still have a lot of time that we're going to have to hold onto his commitment. But I think it's easier to fight off the big boys for a kid if he's already committed to you, rather than uncommitted with offers from P5 schools.

Love 6'4"!

BillySee58,

When do you think that weight measurement was taken? Prior to last season? That's pretty lean. Hopefully he can bulk up a little without losing any speed.

Nice pickup for the Mean Green!

I'm not sure. I give little stock to outside receivers' weights. I give even less stock to listed numbers (height, weight, 40 time) unless they are verified and the 40s are laser timed. He's skinny, we'll beef him up some, but he'll still be on the skinny side.

There is plenty of physicality on the outside and they can't be twigs out there, but at the same time we won't ever need Bendy to weigh much more than 200 lbs, if at all. IMO I think taller receivers make better blockers than short ones. Even if they are skinnier than the shorter receivers. You aren't asking for drive blocks out there, just staying locked up and not letting them get around you. There's more to being a good blocking receiver than that, just stating that I don't think being skinny is as big a liability in blocking as some might think.

Little follow up on Bendy's commitment, he now has a 247 and Rivals profile and is listed as a commit. Rivals rated him a 5.4 2-star, just shy of being a 3 star. Could easily get it with a big season or big summer on the camp and 7on7 circuit. Also, an ETSN article on his commitment.

Update: has now added an ESPN profile.

-Tyler John Tyler wide receiver Rodney Bendy is committed to North Texas but other schools are still after the 6-foot-4, 190-pound senior. ULM offered after he committed to the Mean Green and both Houston and Oklahoma are showing a lot of interest.

Lets hope he continues to follow the path of Tee Goree

Hopefully it's another Tee Goree situation

I'm not expecting that. Not saying you are either, but Goree had over 1200 yards and 17 tds as a junior. Then scored 28 as a senior. Bendy is coming off a junior season in which he had 368 yards and 4 receiving TDs. Realistically I'm hoping for Bendy to be closer to O'Keeron Rutherford.

Goree was a massive steal. Rutherford was a big steal too. And his growth from junior to senior year is hopefully similar to what Bendy's will be this year.

Meant as in we hold on to an east Texas WR who is receiving Big 12 interest

I think Rutherford would've had more offers and interest as well if not for his grades. Getting him cleared was a big deal.

Loved that Goree remained true to his committment. Hope Bendy does the same and is a man of his word.

I love that our staff is identifying these types of players. You will lose some of them, but it tells me that we are going after the right ones which is huge.

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
