'15 ATH Bralon Hutchison (La Grange)

[BillySee58]

5'11" 162 lb athlete from La Grange. Helped lead the Leopards to a 13-1 season and an appearance in the 3A D1 state semifinals, where they were defeated by the Carthage Bulldogs, led by Mean Green signees Tee Goree and O'Keeron Rutherford.

Hutchison is starting to see his recruiting pick up. In the last month he has collected his first offer, from Duke, and since been offered by Oregon State, New Mexico, SFA, Nevada, and now us.

Hutchison rushed for 1044 yards and 13 scores on just 84 carries, and added 116 receiving yards and 2 scores, as well as a KR touchdown. Hutchison also played on defense, and could project to either side of the ball in college.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Was my post not good enough for ya, billy?

Never question BillySee58!

Was my post not good enough for ya, billy?

Lol, I was working on this one while you were posting yours. I'm kind of slow at making mine. Like to watch the player's film first and dig up some info on him before finishing making the thread. Basically, that's apologist terms for "you were quicker than me."

Not always a good thing.

Just sayin...

Hutchison reports offers from Duke, Oregon State, North Texas, Houston, Nevada, and New Mexico

[BillySee58]

Commited to Texas State. Big pickup by them.

Wow. If this staff can't win these recruiting battles they might as well pack up shop and get to hiking.

[Shuke-D]

You really do put the second syllable in knee-jerk. It was reported he had numerous offers. So either all of those coaching staffs are lame, or there is a bit more to this story. Should we be disappointed and concerned? Very possibly. But do we know for sure at this exact juncture in this specific situation?

I don't believe we were actively recruiting him lately. We offered him at DB and we've been done there for a while.

[GrayEagle]

La Grange is only about an hour away from San Marcos and the closest FBS school to him. Could be he wants his parents to come see him play or he could have a girl friend that will be going there, likes the coach etc.. With as many offers as he had there's likely a greater reason for choosing Texas State.

[Ben Gooding]

I get it there could be underlying reasons. Losing out on players to the likes of Texas State is becoming a trend, not an exception. We have to land the players of choice at the G5 level if we plan on EVER being relevant. I'm tired of watching us get beat out by crappy academic, isolated holes in the wall. Since I've been following we have lost 4-5 players to WYOMING. It's frustrating and IMO inexcusable. Do what it takes to get your guys here. If you can't recruit, you can't win.

[UNTLifer]

Where is the evidence of the trend that we are losing out to TX State?

[Ben Gooding]

To the LIKES of Texas State.

[UNTLifer]

Again, where is the trend? Let's just be honest here, you only want something to bitch about.

[Ben Gooding]

No, not at all. But as far as the trend goes Mr. Kerry Walker says hello. They'll be more in this year alone. I am sure Billy can pull up handfuls for you if he so chose to.

Also, a lot of the commits we got who had Texas State offers committed to us early in the process. Whereas whenever they would get commits with UNT offers it was mainly later in the process, when we were no longer recruiting that kid. But we've definitely gotten the better of them on the trail.

There you go.

[Ben Gooding]

Billy, let's not try to push an agenda. I was also referring to losing out on players to the LIKES of Texas State, for the third time. Not just Texas State. Texas State, Astate, ULL, utsa, Wyoming, etc. I am pretty sure we also lost a couple guys to Idaho last year or the year before. These are programs that we should never lose out on players. The only exception would be if a given recruit grew up from a given town. UNT offers more than any of those programs named. You can add UTEP to that list. If it wasn't for the academic prestige down at Rice you could add them to that list. Also, who wants to go live in Ruston for 4 years? I know La Tech is trying to renovate their stadium, but that might be the worst FBS stadium/facilities I have ever been to. It rivals Fouts.
