QB Connor Means (Deer Park) commits to North Texas

[jtm0097]

Great pickup. Competition will make the qb position better.

[BillySee58]

Love the size and mobility, arm strength and delivery need some work.

Good to have commit #2.

Who do you not consider a commit? Jackson?

Who do you not consider a commit? Jackson?

I had to look this up. If UNT90 is like me, he didn't know about DE Grahm

This brings the 2014 verbal total (I know of) to 3.

[greenminer]

3 verbals in and we have two on the DL. This melts my face.

[Green Lantern]

Looks like a quality pick up. Welcome aboard!

[UNTLifer]

Not doubting, and he looks like a fine ballplayer, but has this been confirmed? Also, what receiver are you referring to PMG?

The second kid from Desoto. I believe it was Jackson. When a committ is that soft, I just really don't consider it a committ.

None of the major recruiting services (247, Rivals, Scout or ESPN) acknowledge a commitment by Graham (or Grahm). One (I believe that it was Rivals) has acknowledged Jackson. None have acknowledged Means, although it may be early yet.

My bad....I had the wrong "Park"...the receiver I had brain freeze about was actually the one from Galena Park (Houston) instead of Deer Park who for now is committed to UTSA. (Has that receiver even been on our campus yet)?

[FirefightnRick]

The TD throw at the 1:58 mark is nice.

Still, for those who loose sleep over DT throwing off his back foot now and then, y'all are gonna need counseling if this kid ever see's the field?

We'll see. He's a kid who you never know if he's just holding out for better offers. Hopefully we can keep him.

Because we aren't a big name, sites are usually a little slow on noticing our commitments. Usually the kid's high school coach has to notify rivals or whoever that their player has committed to us. Rivals should have Means and hopefully Graham down soon.

Welcome Conner! Hope the kid has a great senior year.

Are we sure?

[outoftown]

i guess with this guy on board NT has all the means necessary to win C-USA

When I posted this yesterday, Grahm was listed in Rivals as a commit...on both the player page and the school page (still there).

Perhaps I am missing something about Grahm. I agree it is early for Means and anticipate an update.

Yup, you're right. Graham is listed as a commit on our rivals page. Our school page is still there but it isn't active. Only thing that updates is the commits.

What a great pickup this would be. Kid looks awesome on film...comes from a good family. He is a perfect fit for Chico's offense. Let's keep our fingers crossed! GMG!

[UNTLifer]

So we aren't sure.

[outoftown]

So we aren't sure.

I guess it is worth waiting till vito has confirmed it. untill then it's more like a rumour of decent probability.

... and even then, players have been known to change their minds between mid july and signing day.

It has not been officially confirmed.

[outoftown]

now, since it has been on vitos blog, i think we can assume it is real. And he plans to enrol early too!!

Didn't he make 2nd team all district at a 2a school?

Deer Park high school is 5A

[BillySee58]

Deer Park high school is 5A

Decent district too. Port Arthur Memorial and Galena Park North Shore are good teams.

[NT03]

Micah Thomas was 1st team QB in that district (21-5A) He signed with Utah

[BillySee58]

Don't underestimate the jump qbs make from Junior to Senior year. Especially if this was Means first year as a starter. Does anyone know if it was?
