Waaaittt a second!!! Who was the HoD bowl MVP from over 2 years ago? And I'm forgetting our record this past season...

[Harry]

fingers crossed.  On English, theoretically SMU and UNT would be the best option  if proximity to his dad is the key.

I got a bad feeling about this one. Hope I'm wrong

The fact there not announcing together leads me to believe they aren't going together. My prediction which is pure speculation. English goes to SMU Kincade to Houston

Marcus Trice was a safety, not cornerback, @Brett Vito.

Are they not announcing together? Changed their mind?

Houston is set at Qb for next year. Hope announcing together they pick the same school! GMG!!

I like English and hope he chooses us but if he chooses a school 3.5 hours away from Desoto over 2 schools an hour or less away, then he's being a bit disingenuous about his transfer reasoning.

[Eagle-96]

Our hope is that immediate playing time is the deciding factor. If not, then good luck to them in their careers elsewhere. I wish Bryce's father all the best.

[Mike Jackson]

Very interesting prospects here.   English will have to sit a year I assume.   I am more optimistic about our QB situation regardless who we get I think Seth will do a good job of coaching them up and putting them in situations to succeed.  It is a little harder to scheme around and coach up a defensive front lacking size and athleticism.  And our QB won't matter than much if the defense can never get off the field without giving up points.  But who can we attribute this recruiting momentum to?  Is this mostly Seth or the situation English's family situation?  Will he get family medical waiver to allow him to play immediately (if there is such a thing)?  Kincade sounds interesting to.  Would he be the highest rated QB talent we ever land (transfer or high school) since Dodge?

No. See Kevin Dillman

I thought I read from article English announcing tomorrow, Kincade would announce later in the week. I may have misread.

He will sit out next year. He would be coming for the year after. But I completely agree with you I hope they both commit to the Mean Green tomorrow.

From what I saw he is only listed as an athlete not a QB prospect.  A 3 star athlete but an athlete none-the-less.

I think he is referring to the fact that at one point, Dillman was a 5-star QB prospect signed by Nebraska to play QB.

[Mike Jackson]

Did this guy practice this year?  Are there any report as to how he looked in practice?

[MEEN2018]

English has been following UNT players and Brice from the bball team this week. Also started following Coach Ekeler tonight. I really believe he'll be coming here. Kincade is harder to predict but more UNT than SMU or Houston for him as well so hoping we get both!

It's Tuesday

I think they're coming here. Just seems like the best fit.

He sits out this season.

He was listed as strictly a QB prospect by everyone up until Nebraska fired Pelini.

Agreed. Something tells me they wanted to go together at some point, but I wouldn't be surprised if SMU didn't offer Kincade and that's where English wants to go (where his high school coach is).

I guess English redshirted this year at KState? I couldn't find any stats on him this year. If I were him I would go JUCO unless that hardship waiver is a slam dunk done deal. You only get to play 4 seasons over 5 years. Why waste two redshirting AND transferring? North Texas or  SMU would still be there for him next year. I also can't believe Kincaide isn't considering FCS where he could play immediately and get two seasons in instead of FBS where he will have to sit and then get in only 1 year.

English has been reminiscing on his feed about the good ol' days at Desoto. I can guarantee him that he will have a much more similar experience at NT than SMUg.
