Couple that with the fact that he completely ran away from NC State's entire secondary. Speed and power....He is special.

If he hadn't been living in Lawry's shadow all this time he'd be all CUSA himself. Next year, lights out.

Really happy about the TE commit. Give him a RS year in the gym with a playbook and I think we have a winner

+1 CJ. I see him at TE just like Ximines was at DE as an incoming freshman -- really good with so much potential to be even better. I think we just landed a future standout for the Monarchs.

Rice at #3? how can they recruit that well with such a lousy recent history?

Gotta hold on to the guys we have and add a few more good players. Nice to see us back in the top half of the conference recruiting wars again.

Simply, it's a great school. However, according to a Rice fan on the main board, they always land a bunch of commitments early and a lot of the early commitments end up getting poached.

Are you suggesting really good athletes also pick a school for it's academic reputation?

Like all college students, some do and some don't. But Rice isn't going to recruit kids who won't get eligible.

Derrick Eason DE from Norview. Kermit Buggs retweeted him that "big news is coming tomorrow." Our next commit?

All I can say is... don't let this kid get to the outside or it's 6 points!!

Has anyone else noticed that quite a few of the kids we're interested in also have offers from Navy and Air Force? coincidence or something else going on?

8 FBS offers, looks to have some speed. Takes him a couple seconds to get going and then it's off to the races. Hope he commits.
