re: 2015 Recruiting Discussion

that's ridiculous. After Katrina things got pretty wild in Houston trying to get kids to to move to certain school districts but nothing like that. I think the facilities at the public schools in TX and the fact that the best schools will always invest tons of money in football probably keeps them on top

that and the 50,000 seat stadiums and jet planes and shite. I wish I played football for one of those programs

we probably wont offer one until later in the process right?

I bet we do over the summer. We'll probably have them come to campus and throw some. There are a lot of excellent QBs in Texas each year that go under the radar - guys that have the skillset and the mind for it but just aren't highlighted in HS. Hell Ryan Tannehill falls in that group.

I think a guy like Agnew would be further along by playing at Southlake but honestly we're not looking for a guy to come in and play early. I personally like the idea of finding one of those prospects. I'm also not sure how critical Spav sees our QB situation. He really likes McQueen

do you think we can get back into it with stidham?

unfortunately, my guess is that ship has sailed. Btw, Stidham is another really good example of what I'm talking about. He played WR til last year.

Can the private schools in Texas recruit? They can and give scholarships in Kentucky. That's why the catholic high schools in Louisville Trinity and St. X dominate the state. I don't understand why since the public schools can't and get put on probation if caught.

I hope we do. Maybe we can get in on the Dormandy kid since he looked pretty good at that QB camp a couple weeks ago.

you don't see it with basketball programs as much in California. it happens. but not nearly to the extent of what goes on in football

I want to clarify that I'm by no means a talent scout. I talk out of my arse a lot. It's also really hard imo to evaluate because you are looking at only a select few plays and you really don't know what a guy's assignment is all the time.

My take: He's quick. He's good in pursuit. He's got good length. Overall he's got nice athleticism. However, he looks thin, plays smaller than he is, and his technique doesn't look very good.

But all those negatives are fixable. If he's really 210 now, I think he could easily play at 230+. He can be coached up to make more use of his length and quickness.

If he has the mental ability and the right frame to grow, he's the kind of athlete that could be a 6'3" 235 pound SAM. He likely needs a redshirt but you can definitely see a diamond in there. I have no idea if he or we can mine it though. It appears that Hagen, Snyder, and Sumlin all think we can.

I hope im taking this the way you meant it

I don't know anything. But I'm just doing 2+2. Lockhart has known he was getting an offer when he responded. They are all friends. It's likely nothing more than the last day of school....or it could be when they are going to visit.

Film is great, obviously a heck of an athlete. How big is he?
