Watched Tech FB commits Brodrick Calhoun CB and BeeJay Williamson S today in their Texas 6A playoff loss by 10 pts. These are very good defensive players. Horn also has a true stud WR in Maureese Wren who is 6'-3" 210. It would be awesome if Wren were to join the other two at Louisiana Tech in this class; I think he could play immediately for us.
Please send some LBs who are strong enough to tackle one on one.Quote:

Wren is an Arkansas commit. With Bielema being fired today, maybe he will consider a change.Quote:

Of course, it helped that he’s had a strong direct relationship with the man in charge of the program as well.
“I talk to Coach (Bret Bielema) the most,” he said. “Me and him have just been talking ever since they offered and we’ve just been building a closer relationship. He’s a really laid-back guy; he might have a joke here or there, but he’s just a pretty cool coach.”
What offers does the Gadek kid from McKinney have?Quote:

Phenomenal play by Maureese Wren (@MaureeseWren9). Gives Mesquite Horn a 24-14 lead over Coppell. #txhsfb pic.twitter.com/qVEF0p6ZK9
Calhoun agrees HD. He tweeted tonight that we at least need to OFFER Wren a scholarship!
Nice. It makes sense. Wren sounds like he loves a "family environment", etc...and he just lost the MAIN reason he was committed to Arkansas. He would probably really like LA Tech's family environment, and of course the certainty of knowing two of his HS teammates will be there to help him transition.Quote:

I'm the band director at Mesquite Horn. I do like both the commits we have. Teams have generally stayed away from throwing to Broderick's side of the field and gone to BeeJay's without a whole lot of luck. Both guys play with a lot of heart. As for Wren, he tends to short arm when he has been hit a couple of times, but he has a lot of upside. It was a fun year to watch this team play.Quote:

I don't think Gadek has any offers.Quote:

I asked today! Doesn’t have any. Same response you gave.... white rb, small......Asked coach to compare him to Burkhead.....Said Gadek was special but not equal to Burkhead. Coach I spoke with coached against Burkhead, Lee, and Gadek.Quote:

A lot of good players overlooked every year, because they are 2” short or .2 slow in the 40.Quote:

That's great news. We want Wren for Christmas!! :DQuote:

We need linebackers who can run.Quote:

Amen to this! With Ferris back our defense was a whole lot better. Ferguson also looked like he was finally shaking off his injuries.Quote:

Someone please confirm early signing day. Is it Dec 21st??
Dec 20th - Dec 22nd http://www.nationalletter.org/signingDates/future.html
Thanks. Hopefully Coach Holtz will bring the documents with him to Frisco, TX and sign up these guys on game day of the Frisco Bowl, Dec 20th.Quote:
