Do we have any 6-3 plus receivers on our recruiting radar?
I like the Bobby Chase, Rollando Pell-erin types.
Just a question.

Abola looks good and should be able to fly by the SAT qualifications.

really? How good does he look. Cistercian plays on about the 1A level and I doubt has ever had a Division 1A player

Had one four or five years ago. Went to Wake Forest or Vanderbilt or somesuch place.
Surely you're not questioning someone's guesswork on a player solely because he hasn't seen that player in person, are you?

Word on the street is that his developement has been slow...Very likely may become a TE...

Big jump from 2A-it usually takes more time. He was able to use his athletic ability and height to dominate at 2A-now he will have to learn how to play football against athletes at the Division 1A level. Remember generally only about 10 2A Texas kids even get Division 1A scolarships each year. Redshirting is the only way to go in this situation.

He'll have to challenge Willis for the starting QB spot first.

Manson is a year and a half older then everyone else and has played in subpar competition - I predict he will not pan out.

Brock Mansion (he left out the "i").... transfered to ESD from one of the Plano schools (I believe), "had to" repeat a year. ESD molded their offense around him. Now he has a full ride to Cal.
