Yeah I want that qb White to play receiver for us, and our only chance on him is because he is so small but I have seen him on 2014 top prospect lists so I don't know how good our chance is with him.

As for Nick Orr, same thing. He's a stud and is on 2014 top prospect lists as well, but obviously we have a potential trump card in big bro Zach.

I have a question for you Emmitt. What do you think about their senior receiver Brandon Mcdowell?

He's their leading receiver, which doesn't always mean a whole lot but take this into account. Last year they had 2 receivers go D-1 and 4 receivers go D-1 the year before!

If he's good enough to be their primary target do you think we should try and get him? He's only 5'9" and is committed to Texas St (I think his only offer thus far) to play cornerback but I could see him being one of those athletes that Mac has talked about bringing in to compete on either side of the ball because of his athleticism.

I'd take him. He's just an athlete (no lunch pail). When SLC was killing them with their slot guy Desoto's coaches put McDowell on him. He'd find a role here.

Finding guys who can hold slots are not always easy. This is what I think Zac Whitfield can be good at if Freddie Warner can come back and play outside.

But yeah, thanks for that info.

Emmitt,

I was there too, unbelievable game. Saw Z Orr, Chancellor, Jimmerson (looked like he was in Coach Mathis' ear a lot), and Byrd on sidelines. What did you think of #48 for Carroll, Jackson Mitchell a LB? He was all over the field for sure.

Looked like a Southlake kinda kid. Brings his lunch pail, knows his assignment...the kind Todge woulds signed.

Now their slot guy #3 I'd take.

And I want Zach Orr's brother in green!!!!

Have followed DeSoto all year and remain unsold on Zach's little brother. He's way too small, can't tackle, often run over by bigger backs in the secondary and doesn't seem to stop receptions by bigger receivers. I'm all for continuing the pipeline to DeSoto U but Nick Orr doesn't help us.

No disrespect, just my observation after watching 5 Desoto games this season alone (including the game today)

Aside from Dontre Wilson and that 5'4" QB, I thought DeSoto's best player was #1 Taylor Young, the linebacker. He was all over the field. I was stunned to learn that he has no offers per Rivals. I wouldn't mind having him up here.

I agree on Young. With no other D1 offers, you'd think our coaching staff would be all over him.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      It's all about how this gets settled now. FSU, Clemson, Georgia Tech, UNC, Miami, Duke, UVa, Va Tech, NC State, Louisville, Pitt, and Syracuse will find homes in the Big Three Conferences that will be left. My guess is that the B1G gets UVa, UNC, Duke, and Georgia Tech, the SEC gets Va Tech, NC State, FSU, Clemson, Pitt, and Miami. Louisville and Syracuse will go to the Big 12, probably with UConn and Stanford. Cal gets WSU and OSU to join their new far flung setup with BC, SMU, and Wake Forest, while they add in Memphis, Temple, Tulane, USF, ECU, and FAU to join their league.

      Tennis Advances @ the AAC Tournament

      not to bad with a young team and their #4 being out for the tournament. Stone deserves another 1-2 yrs to get stability in the program after max exodus the past 2-3 seasons

      Rubin didn’t leave UNT for NIL money

      I don't know if we will ever see a 4-year player (or should we take this path) with recruiting or player development again. IMHO we should not waste our time recruiting HS players unless they are certified difference makers that will or are ready to start game one. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to a attract that type of player (yet). Our path to relevancy in the college basketball dialogue is winning by bringing in older, more experienced players even if it's only for a year or two at the end of their eligibility and then do this season after season, hanging banners and firmly establishing our program. We need to do this with 22-23 year old players not 18, 19 and 20 year old players.

      UTRGV Leaves WAC for Southland

      I grew up in Edinburg back when Abe Lemons was their basketball coach. Their finances are more stable now than back when they "withdrew" from the Belt.
