KABrother88 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Another thing I don't think I mentioned about Banks is he is by all indication an excellent baseball player so we could potentially have 2 dual sport guys in this class with him and Jack Dallas.

KABrother88 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 This weekend is a big weekend for official visits and an important one for this class. Here is what I've seen and heard. Commits: QB - Jack Dallas DL - TeRon Brown K - Elvin Martinez Others: OL - Micah McComb DL - Gjemar Daniels DL - Darren Thomas (Texas St. Commit) DL - Quincey Williams LB - Tyris Williams DB - Tyon Merchant ATH - Kirkland Banks The Tyon Merchant visit is one that was reported to me this week but we will see if anything becomes of it. He is a 3-Star across all 4 recruiting services. Originally committed to Oklahoma St and decommitted in November. By the wording of a tweet he sent recently he was close to committing to Arizona St and they had whole sale changes in their staff and he mentioned having a backup plan.

Dracula Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Is it just me or is anybody else getting the feeling that these guys are light years ahead of the former staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Is it just me or is anybody else getting the feeling that these guys are light years ahead of the former staff? While many of the incoming assistants have plenty of college football experience compared to some of the previous coaching staffs hires, I hesitate to get real excited until I see the quality of the program on the field. Maybe I'll feel like we're ahead after signing day and spring ball. I do believe that coaches that have been at FBS schools should have a better idea of the physical size and talent needed to compete for championships but will that translate into the athletes they can recruit to LU. Also how will their coaching philosophy match with the personnel that is here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Looks like Willie Williams a 6'3" 285 lbs OL has transferred from Texas State. Was a 3-Star (247) out of their 2015 class. Was the last full class under Schultz and when new OL coach Brad Bedell was there. Took a RS in 2015 and appeared in 5 games last season earning 1 start. Not sure if he is on campus now or if it will be summer before he arrives. Edited January 22, 2017 by KABrother88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on an official visit this weekend Unless they were going to convert him to a LB, he sure seemed undersized for DL. Don't think this is a big loss. Move on..

Hate to speculate but the only other thing that comes to mind is he potentially felt neglected this weekend. We had a few DL targets on visits and with them not being committed then the staff is probably gonna give them more attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I respect his decision and while I would like to know why he decided to change his mind, the post sounds like someone really pissed him off. If not and he is just spouting off, then from the comment I would say Lamar should move on and be glad he isn't coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Abel Daily (6'0" 185 lbs) of College Station HS has committed to. Played OLB in HS but probably best suited at Safety at the next level. http://www.hudl.com/profile/4410236/abel-daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hearing we may have a transfer RB from A&M in James White. It looks like he only has one yr of eligibility left. Big straight ahead runner that has an injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hearing we may have a transfer RB from A&M in James White. It looks like he only has one yr of eligibility left. Big straight ahead runner that has an injury history. I know he was an attrition candidate at A&M this offseason so that would add up. Was passed on the depth chart by a former 5-Star recruit in Keith Ford and a Freshman All-American in Trayvon Williams. As you mentioned he has battled injuries his whole A&M career. Watched him play a couple of times in HS against Nederland in the playoffs...was a monster at that level. If he is here, let's hope he can shake that injury bug for one season.

KABrother88 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) New offer has been extended to 3-Star Tyler JC OL Marvis Brown. Originally signed with Texas Southern out of LC-M HS but ended up going JUCO instead. Committed to Arkansas State earlier this month. Not sure what kind of connection he has with Dan Dodd but we'll see if it's enough to sway him to "come home". https://www.hudl.com/profile/4880337/marvis-brown-iii Edited January 24, 2017 by KABrother88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
