Sorry, my comment on SMU helping him to get in with his current test scores was re: Moreland. As of last week, he said he still wants to be at SMU. Hopefully we'll know soon.

For what it's worth...In the past couple of days, Holloway has changed his wallpaper to be SMU themed and had the following tweets:

Today: Wow! It's STUPID cold in Dallas...I'm takin hella sweaters"
"I can't wait to be interviewed, Ima be preachin more than Tebow..."
"I'm going to SMU Friday..."
"I'm wearing #47 in college 'AK47'"

He's heading to town tomorrow and seems really excited about it...Can't wait to see him on Saturdays!

Adding these guys to this D would be something else. A long time since we've fielded talent and speed like this. Keeping fingers crossed.

Holloway is expected to arrive Friday in Dallas and start school next week ... and says he now carries 270 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame.

McDonalds?

No weight room. I understand he is pretty solid. Really good addition to the team.

Start him! Right now. Hunt - Pitt - Holloway. With Davis, O'Guin, Wright, Grenier, Wood and Barnes in depth. Wow.

My biggest concern was DT next year, now it's not. Now it's safety (and OL a little, followed by will the WR underclassmen step up and become big-time threats ... Thompson, JJ, Holman, Holleman, Dieter, Stewart ...

CUSA Champs! Never been a better scenario for us with UH downgrade and us hiring away JP ...

You're forgetting Moreland. :) Imagine him entrenched in that lineup.

In terms of safeties, what about Daniel Roundtree? He's a juco safety that is said will likely commit to SMU this weekend. He was supposedly going to K-State before the coach left, etc., and ended up going the juco route. It sounds like some folks don't know enough and are lukewarm on him (ie, they like his speed and athleticism but don't know much about him.).

For those of you who haven't seen Holloway's youtube videos, you need to go check them out.

His technique looks a bit raw, but the coaching staff will help him through that.

His athleticism/speed and power are very impressive, especially for a guy that big. He manhandles some of the offensive linemen and brings some big hits.

Oh yea.......NOW HE WEIGHS 270lbs!!!!!!!

If you're asking for a link about his weight, PonyPride posted a few posts back in this thread that he spoke with him and he said he's 270 now.

If you want highlight video links, here are a few:

I'm not able to view these but I saw some earlier on rivals and this kid looked like a man among boys there.

Yeah, Moreland would have been awesome.

I don't know anything about Roundtree, but I'm hoping he's the next Ronnie Lot or Ed Reed! ;-)
