I took a look at the 2008 Oil Bowl web site this morning. I could not see all of the web

site addres to enable me to post the Oil Bowl address for all of you.

The Texas team roster has 3 North Texas class of 2008, recruits listed.

One of the 3 players, is a surprise listing- Chris Brainard, WR, 6-0, 175lbs

South Lake Carroll. Did Chris sign a LOI, or is he going to walk on?

Either way, I hope he does come to North Texas.

The other 2 Oil Bowl players are Troy Franklin, OT-DL, 6-5, 295lbs, Celina, and

Darien Williams, QB-DB, 5-11, 195lbs, Vernon.

Looks like both the Texas and Oklahoma rosters have many "undecided"

players, many from 1A-2A and other programs. I noticed on the Oklahoma

roster, Andrew Rodgers, OG-DT, 6-2, 290lbs Tulsa East Central HS as a

undecided. May be worth checking out? This game will be the last football

game for most of these HS athletes, unless the undecided kids are going

to walk on to some school. Either way, being invited to the Oil Bowl is

a honor, and these kids should be proud of their accomplishments!

Now, I hope none of the North Texas recruits get injured. Some other schools

like Texas and Tx Tech do not allow their recruits to play in these "All-Star" games.

If they have ship then what are they playing for

I would say, as an 18 year old, this is an honor. I know that if I was invited to some sort of all-star game after high school I would have wanted to play.

Of course, as stated above, you just can't pass up the opportunity to beat up on some Okies.

Like UNTLifer said it's a great honor to be selected to play in these all star games. I know the THSCA All Star game is the biggest honor a kid from Texas can achieve in high school. By the way Texas and Texas Tech along with every other major university in Texas allows their kids to play in this game. I actually coached in this game a couple of years ago and we had several players from these univesities on our roster. The Oil Bowl i'm not sure of, but if you're invited to the THSCA game, you're playing.

Does anyone know the status of WR Chris Brainard?

Did he sign a LOI, or is Chris going to walk on at North Texas?

Scout and Rivals show he didn't sign with anyone. I guess he's an invited walkon.

Forget about the risk of injury, what a player really has to ask himself is if the honor of the Oil Bowl is worth having to spend a week in Wichita Falls! I speak from experience. I spent a week in WF once, that was the longest month of my life!

It is only as bad as you make it!! In case you didn't notice there are other players that UNT had orginally recruited that will also be on the Texas Roster. Adam Lambert and Ben Parks. Lambert is going to Midwestern and Parks is going to Baylor. There are probably more that UNT might had been interested in at one time or the other.

Franklin is not included on what I assume is the current roster on the Oil Bowl official site.

/www.timesrecordnews.com/news/oilbowl/

Hmmm...I don't know then. Maybe his dad will chime in? I've seen him on gmg a few times in the last couple of days.

Thanks, but I meant OL or DL.

He's listed on the roster (published by the Wichita Falls Times-Record News on April 18, 2008), as OT/DT.
