2020 commitments

[The Jackal]

Both look like good players and guys that can really move. Pretty sweet graphics too.

Found another offer for a Texas wide receiver — Taurean Muhammad Katy, Texas. Muhammad has quite a few FBS offers too.

By the way, all three of these fellas say they run 4.4 - by the looks of how fast they get separation and cut people up at high-level Texas football - I'd say its legit speed.

And - we just got another commit — two in one night this one a DB from ATL.

Thought RB because of the #FeedHim comment from one of the Coaches, but couldn’t confirm anything.

So...Guessing the TX Commit is WR Zavion Taylor...because he has his 5/3 ‘offer Tweet’ from Furman pinned at the top of his Twitter Feed. He has another D1 offer from Cornell & other sub D1 offers since 5/3. Unless his ‘system’ is to pin his most recent D1 offer, I’ll go with the FU pinning as ‘a sign.’

Agree, these graphics (esp the NCAA 2K Football Video Game!!!) are much better efforts . Great work coaches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm genuinely interested to know how Furman approaches recruiting Houston.

My wife's from Katy and my sister-in-law still teaches in the school district. Katy High School is massive (so is Klein). These are high schools with student bodies significantly larger than Furman's. There are close to 80,000 students in the District.

Katy is serious Texas Football. It is a bit garish, but here's Katy's ISD's $70m football facility that opened last year that holds 12k spectators: https://www.google.com/search?client=sa ... 8&oe=UTF-8.

I'm glad we are investing in that area. Furman as a University has long recruited Houston, but it is certainly a philosophical shift to see us going in looking for football players.

I think your right - went back over coaches comments - I jumped to a WR/SB, Bear you sparked me to go back over the tweets — a few things I've noticed on twitter - I've got a feeling I know who it is - its RB/SB.

Also applying the same twitter detective work - I've spotted who I think the CB commit is.

Furman is raising the speed bar.

I think the Texas commit could be Tyson Thompson. Thompson fits the RB mode. The Atlanta CB is Micah Robinson from Westlake.

Another recent thread “New AD will face a challenge” is about our future home game schedules. I’ve made it clear that I prefer home & home with more northeastern schools plus Georgetown, Richmond, & W&M. Southeastern non-SoCon school were also discussed. As an additional suggestion, less preferred, I ask (due to this present discussion about TX prospects) why we don’t look also at future home & home possibilities with any of these that are within 3 hours of Houston:
McNeese State
Lamar
Houston Baptist
Stephen F. Austin State
Sam Houston State
Incarnate Word (typo corrected)
Prairie View
Texas Southern
... as well as, within 2.5 hours from Dallas:
Abilene Christian

I think that Katy stadium is nice but looks like a little overkill and I don't see $70 million. You don't need 2 levels on each side for a 12,000 seat stadium. That would be like taking the visitors side of PS and making 2 levels out of it. Of course I guess it's not about need, more about show. I know costs have gone up but PS has 16,000 seats and cost about 3 million when first built?

Seems like a logical extension.

Notably, though, the Southland Conference schedules, I think, 9 conference games, so after the "money game," there's not much left on the slate for an OCC FCS team.

So recent commits are which 3?

The Atlanta CB is Micah Robinson from Westlake ?
Kendall Thomas a RB?
Third guy? FUBeAR - "WR Zavion Taylor" ?

There seemed to be some debate above ...

[AstroDin]

^^ I posted directly from Kendall Thomas's twitter feed he's posted his commitment to the DINS and Bear was correct he's a RB/SB.

The Corner hasn't posted yet but this is worth watching tomorrow.
