Thanks Billy. I can't find his stats anywhere. One site says he had 1 24yd catch last year but that video shows several.

Yeah, there isn't much on him. For a kid who plays for a school that won a 5A state championship in 2011, (when Smith was a freshman), he seems very under the radar and under-exposed.

Although they did go 2-8 last year. I don't think I've ever seen a team win a state championship then go 2-8 just two years later.

So we will have a good blocking TE?? Unproven as a receiving TE...

I was thinking we'd take a good blocking tight end this class. Like a big kid who looks almost more like an offensive lineman, like Andrew Power or Wylie Reinhardt. This kid isn't as big as those guys, but he could be that blocking-type tight end. If Caleb Chumley (who is grayshirting and will come in as a QB), ends up moving to tight end, then you'd have a blocking specialist and a receiving specialist at tight end.

If you look at our roster, our tight ends are very top heavy. The scholarship guys are all seniors and juniors except Wylie Reinhardt. Tanner Smith is a senior, and Cooper Jones, Marcus Smith, and Chris Loving are juniors. If this kid and Chumley redshirt next year in 2015, then in 2016 all those guys would be gone and they'd have a great chance at playing time.

With an O Line full of seniors and the current QB situation, we could use him in either spot. Whichever QB we end up with will need as many targets as possible.

He's a verified 6'3" 224. 6'3" is too short for offensive tackle. 224 is way too light for o-line. Asking this kid to gain 70-80 lbs is not going to happen.

We're likely taking 5-6 high school offensive linemen this class. Those guys will be the linemen we ask to take over in the future. If anything this kid plays defense. If he's on offense, he's playing tight end.

Wow, electrical engineering. We just added that degree within the last 10 years I believe so this may not have happened without it. He may be the only EE major in D1 football period right now.

Scott Hall was also an engineering major.

If you look further down in the blog entries there is a very comforting tweet from Bingham, the CB commit.

I wouldn't be all that surprised to see Bingham start at corner along side Whitfield, or someone else, next year and see Buyers move over to safety.

      I wouldn't put it past Penny Hardaway getting that group to double digit losses come selection Sunday.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Minnesota with a 3rd straight Quad 1 win. Our win in their house is looking better every game. Baring a collapse, Memphis is all but guaranteed a spot. Prior to their loss at Temple, some bracket experts had them as a 4 seed. They're 5-2 in Quad 1 games and 10-3 in Quad 1 and 2 with wins against Missouri, UConn, Michigan State, Clemson, Ole Miss, all of which are in the top 35 of NET. The resume is too strong unless they pretty much lose out. Cougar guy is wrong, though. Independent bracket experts with good track records of guessing the field still have UNT as being in contention. It's a longshot but not dead.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      It’s interesting because I know the perception of the new PAC and AAC is that the PAC will be stronger, but where would Texas State rather go? It seems like AAC for a variety of reasons. I’m not convinced the new PAC is better than the AAC. UNLV and New Mexico holding back in the MWC, with the Northern Illinois and GCU ads have the future PAC in a bit of limbo. They have to keep performing or they will fall back fast. The SBC and AAC currently are the more stable forces, hence a certain level of power and leverage lives there. To me the PAC must break the bank to get Memphis or they are not going to lift on takeoff. GMG

      Rob Lanier, former SMU head coach, found out what the Infantry could do last February at Moody Coliseum. So when he moved over to Rice, inside sources suggest he slipped Tim Spaghetti some cash to make sure his home game against UNT would be on a weeknight this season. But I say, "Too bad, Rob! You can't escape us!" If you're in Houston, or are retired and can make the trip, or want to use a couple of half days like I did, join us at the terrible Tudor Fieldhouse on Tuesday, 2/11 at 8 p.m. The game has the later start because it'll be on ESPNU as the "west coast game." There are just under a hundred seats left behind our bench which would be group-rated at $25. For the second straight year I want to sell the section out. What'll make it better is the sea of green will be on national TV. It'll be different without Scott Screamin' Pera on the Rice bench, but we'll still have plenty to taunt Lanier about. Like how his son has to follow him around to maintain a D1 scholarship. And don't forget the UNT Dallas debacle. Here's what we did last year. We bought about 70 tickets, plus whatever the team was allotted, and the local alumni who bought on their own. If you are interested in joining our group for the game, message me. I've got pending communication out with the Houston alumni chapter to see if they will plan to do anything before the game like last year.
