Not a bad grade from ESPN on this kid. I initially was underwhelmed by the commitment to SHSU:

For some reason, that link to the D-RC is broken. Anyway, Brett speculates that we're going to steal Dallas Woodrow Wilson LB Chad Polk on signing date. He is currently committed to Sam Houston State. May be a great player though, who is being shunned because he's undersized....

I found his camp results to be pretty good until I saw the best vertical leap of the OLB prospects.

I did find this article from Corbett Smith which gave some stats and stated that he was at one time on the DMN Area Top 100.

My feelings right now are if I'm at an FCS school and get some one of this caliber then I think that it's great. But, if I'm at an FBS college then I believe that it's a reach. My apologies if I'm wrong.

A little more on Polk:

The 6-0, 190-pound Polk was one of the top linebackers in the area this season. During the regular season, Polk had 98 total tackles, 14 sacks, two forced fumbles, five pass break-ups, and a blocked kick.

For the better part of the year, Polk was listed No. 86 in the HSGametime Area Top 100. He fell out of the current rankings, as those with offers from FBS schools moved in.

Polk did have an offer from a Big 12 school -- Baylor -- earlier in the recruiting process. But when he attended a Baylor camp, according to Estes, he didn't perform well, and the scholarship offer was rescinded. That, combined with a clerical error during a combine that misstated one of his recorded times, had Polk drop in the eyes of many schools, said Estes.

"Chad's a heck of a football player," Estes said. "My guess is they'll be a lot of Division I schools wondering on how they missed him once it is all over with."

Sounds like a player who could potentially have a lot of upside. With his size, I do not see him starting at any defensive position his freshman year. But after a year or two with our new drill sergeant, he could be well worth the risk.

EDIT: Just saw that GrayEagle linked to the same story. At any rate, that's the pertinent info from the story.

4 year starter. Only other 4 yr starter at Wilson is now in the NFL. Speaks volumes to me.

I don't care what the numbers say, give me a kid who knows the game and plays with passion and purpose, and coach will find a way to use him.

This class is shaping up to be strong, and I love our pipeline in DISD and Cedar Hill/Duncanville.

I assume you're talking about Sergio Kindle, but he went to Dallas Wilson. Either way, 4 years as a varsity player is impressive.

I like Lemon's stats: Sr. 98 tackles, 14 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 5 pass breakups, and a blocked punt.

4.5 speed doesn't hurt, Named all central Texas, offers from Florida International, UH, La Tech, Missouri, New Mexico st, Rice, A&M, per his web site.

The only stat that kept him from a big time AQ program is his height. I was talking more height/weight measurables than on-field performance. I agree, his game stats speak for themselves, nearly a sack per game. That's huge.

You mean Polk's right?

Lemon is the O-lineman from Marble Falls.

Nevertheless, Polk looks like a nice pickup. Reminds me of Stokojovic and Lee. Just a flat ass football player who flies all over the field making plays!

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      Wow a sobering statement indeed. This has to be having an energy effect on most programs. Will college football actually become less popular? I mean the power programs say no way, never. I am not so sure about this. It won’t go as niche as golf. But investment works 2 ways. GMG

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      From where Jimbo Fisher sits now, after years of coaching high-level college football programs, he sees a clear divide between the well-resourced programs in the SEC, Big Ten and a few other conferences and the rest of the world of college football. He went so far as to allude to certain FBS schools functionally becoming developmental stops. “Here’s what’s happening, all of your mid-majors and a lot of your not-mid-majors, I’m going to say some of your ACC, Big 12, old Pac-12, some of those leagues, they’re becoming glorified junior colleges,” Fisher said. “And some of those teams used to battle for playoffs and have great teams. They took that three-star guy or that four-star guy you missed and they developed him into a heck of a player and he became a great player at their school. Fisher used arguably the best football player currently alive to make his argument: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was drafted out of Texas Tech with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. “How about Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech? Would he have ever stayed at Texas Tech? Somebody would have came and got him,” Fisher said. “You know what I’m saying? And what’s happening, your haves are out there saying, ‘OK, I need a corner and I need a tackle and I need a running back.’ And they’re going to these four-year schools and just selecting, and those guys are really becoming glorified junior colleges, and it’s a shame. I mean great college football programs that have won big in the past and have had tremendously great players. But that what’s changed.” Link: https://www.on3.com/news/jimbo-fisher-claims-some-conferences-are-becoming-glorified-junior-colleges/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2rlzMeo_cEPD6TpbFAWoEUVqgpt_yqatMT52gyT6HICo_nyEvr2nFGOKc_aem_AfsuZvKQBBs_SzhuB_qg2qO7ZdN1vheq_Ks56BhKzhGA_HOPkEAyCuXzJk-zHgdQwWoqZ88nbNvoDCh4vmow0o4n

      Big 12 Pursuing Duke

      This content is based on recent public actions of ACC schools that want the opportunity to leave the ACC for more revenue and/or more security in a better conference. There are limited spots left in the SEC and Big10, so time matters. The Big12 would provide basketball schools with security in the best P4 basketball league.
