OU offered Preston's buddy, Bundage. I guess I can stop hoping we offer.

Hahaha come on Billy, you need to quit posting on here and go get you a job in recruiting at some big school. You've found and seen a lot of good players.... Im just saying, maybe try to get a job at UNT lol

Lol, no. Not quite. These coaches know almost all of these kids before I do. Certainly enjoy tracking and following it, though.

I know Preston is a commit, but he's a kid you almost have to recruit down the stretch as if he's uncommitted.

GMG24 · December 1, 2014

A few tweets later he talked about getting to play Tennessee next year. So far so good, but like Billy says he's a kid you keep recruiting.

Posted this in another thread, but Preston picked up a crystal ball prediction to SMU. He also had a tweet he deleted basically stating he would possibly being interested in SMU now that they had a new coach. It may come down to whether or not Morris goes after him. If he does it may be a done deal.

Nice. Fantastic job staying on top of this kid. Gotta hang on to him. He's a potential shoe in starter.

This makes me freaking happy to see!!! This kid is a stud

Anyone know if Ashton is still a strong verbal for us?

He visited SMU on December 12th (unofficially, it appears) per scout. Some guys who cover HS football in Oklahoma predicted him to flip to SMU on 247's crystal ball selection. Thing is, it doesn't appear that he holds an offer from SMU (at least not under Chad Morris, as he was offered under June Jones). So, as of now, I don't think we have anything to worry about. We're essentially Preston's only offer, since June Jones was the only other coach who offered him. If someone comes in late I'd worry, but not until then.

Yeah, I saw two Crystal ball picks for him to go to SMUT but I hope this kid stays by his word and comes here

He just tweeted he got off the phone with his head coach (Mac). That's a good sign.

Great news!!

UNTLifer · January 15, 2015

Please bring Bundage with you.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · January 15, 2015

I love it how the kid says "my head coach, coach Mac.

Withers940 · January 15, 2015

Me Too, I was a little worried but feel a lot better after seeing all his tweets about UNT

BillySee58 · January 15, 2015

There's nothing to worry about here. At least right now. We're his only offer, and it doesn't look like other schools are trying to come in late. Still time for that to happen, but until then he doesn't he have anywhere to flip to. And it looks like we're doing a good job with him in the event that other schools do try and offer late.
