Re: Texas Still Numero Uno

what?

I mean the State of Texas in total High School signees:

Texas 381
Florida 360
California 261

at least 128 are within about 50 miles of Dallas

Or did you mean to say that we should be spending more time in Florida? They'd have 488 signees with same pop if keeping same ratio (38,802,500 ...

Re: SMU lands...... RB

Not sure whether it was here or not, but there was a discussion regarding his style and skill-set being perfect for this season. You need that line with a more powerful runner...open up lanes and create gaps. For someone like West with speed and agility, you an work outside and utilize those ...

Re: SMU lands...... RB

Braeden West was a Finalist for Houston Touchdown Club Player of the Year-1 of 4 RBs

I agree with Puckhead; our big-name RB is probably going to be in the '16 class. At the same time, I wouldn't sleep on Braeden West either. As I shared on the paid board (Scout) I saw him play 2 or 3 times ...

Re: Ranked #94 Class on 12-02

No. 68 Rivals
No. 72 Scout

I agree that top to bottom, DFW has better HS players (on average) and more competitive programs. My point was that it is disingenuous to conclude that Houston is 'inferior' to Dallas when it comes to producing top tier (NFL caliber) talent. A 2010 study along with 2013 ...

Re: Ranked #94 Class on 12-02

The Ft. Worth v Dallas love is nothing compared with Houston. Larger population, full of oil money, huge port, larger than Dallas in most categories...and has a ridiculous inferiority complex regarding Dallas. They know they produce mediocrity...yet they can't even embrace that!

Not sure where ...

Re: Boom! Braeden West commits

Billy was waiting til Braeden was ready to go public. He's a very thoughtful and level-headed kid; probably wanted to visit with his mom about it & tell the UH staff. Honorable on both counts (Braeden & Billy's) IMO

Re: SMU lands...... RB



Sounds like diamond in the rough

Not really, just under-recruited; had 1,467 yds on 202 att (7.26 per) 20 TDs rushing and 511 yds on 19 receptions (26.9 per) and 6 TDs in the passing game. That's just shy of 2,000 all-purpose yards and 26 touchdowns on 221 touches. He just played in a district ...

And both highly underrated. Saw both play at least twice. We'll be happy here either way.

Re: DMN: Signing Day Primer

A little sloppy, IMO.

Per the article; "Most of the commits in this class are holdovers from June Jones and company...."

Breakdown;

Jones-era commits
James Proche Rivals 3* Scout 3* CBS/247 3* (10 other offers, 3 from P5 schools)

Re: Who's Got Next?

My want list starts with Josh Wariboko & Charles West.

I think we've got a better shot at West. Wariboko is likely UCLA bound, IMO.

Would also like to see Xavier Castille or Alex Honey to firm up WR
