It was Devon Moreland, Connor Preston, Dontae Livingston and one more.

Seems like this staff maybe finally doing it right!


Btw... Levingston had a great juco career and signed with Tx Tech in December...

Actually, I am happy they got some commitments. All I am saying is look at who else has offered most of them.

he wasn't admitted to Texas Tech-I think he ended up at East Carolina

Don't see him on their spring roster:

For a kid who allegedly left SMU because he missed Cali, he sure seems to be taking a round about way to get back there. Last time I looked, East Carolina was the wrong direction. :roll:

Do you know anything about College Football-go back to your NFL Updates. Obviously, he would not be on East Carolina's spring roster when he signed in February

Only four of the ten have P5 options, the other six have a total of six offers between them and four are from lower divisions.

Considering we are G5, I think leading our conference/other G5 schools is an accomplishment. If these kids were loaded with P5 offers, chances they commit to us are very limited.

Why not? Admittedly it was a looong time ago, but I transferred and was admitted to SMU in February.

If he was admitted into the school and was in good academic standing, why wouldn't he participate?

If he signed his LOI with East Carolina in February, he cannot enroll until the first summer session that starts in June. When he signed, ECU was already in the middle of its spring semester (I guess) so he couldn't transfer in even if he wanted to.

Had he signed in December, he could have enrolled in January when the spring semester started. I guess ECU has semesters and not quarters.

How's he doing? Fully recovered?
Coach Mason said he's doing great after his surgery. You can't keep him down. Always loves recruiting.

Don't even joke. TU will be using your post as verified information when they decide we're getting too good.

I want to give the coaching staff a bump for stepping up their game. Let's hold onto these recruits and go get some more. Go 'Stangs!
