I did it more than once. Our AD priced many of the deplorables out.

Re: dont forget Signing Day
Looks like we've signed 5 players so far this morning. Derek Turner (DB), Davon "Smoke" Harris (WR), Walker Hankinson (OL), Steven Shaw (DT) and DeAndre Marcus (RB).
Counting the early signees, that makes 19 signed for this 2018 class. I think the only recruits we're waiting on are Elijah Hines, the RB from Port Arthur, TX, and Willie Allen, the huge 6'7, 315 OT from Tyler JC via LSU.
Are there any others that anyone is aware of?
-
Re: dont forget Signing Day
Wille Allen is in.
As far as I know, that leaves only Elijah Hines outstanding.

Great job Hogdawg-- I'm giving you green on this--

Re: dont forget Signing Day
Elijah Hines in IN!
Not only that, but Eric Dunn, 6'6, 240 OL from Kentwood High School just signed too! I didn't have him in the mix, so this is a surprise signee.
https://ww.hudl.com/profile/4498292/Eric-Dunn
Dunn played both offense (OT) and defense (DE) at Kentwood. He was a 4-year starter at OL, and made Louisiana's Class A "All State" team this year in the OL position.

I agree Brumfield would have been the icing on top, but this group is fantastic. He may some day regret not coming to Tech and running behind the two big tackles that signed today. I wish him the best of luck. Saw him play a couple of times, very talented. Seems like a good person and always smiling, but it wasn't to be. Our class is still great.

Willie Roaf grew up and had an excellent OL coach in college. He would have greatly benefited from someone like Coach Hester.

Re: dont forget Signing Day
Bailey Hale signed as Kicker-- Coach was fired up about his leg-- kicker and receiver in High School -- half his kickoffs were Touchback and his longest FG was 48 yards . He looks a lot like our punter from Australia.

One things for sure, either way he should do well in bowl games based on recent trends.

Re: dont forget Signing Day
Just about every Louisiana kid that went to Utah ended up leaving. Brumfield may end up a Bulldog before his career is all said and done.

Hence why I asked if he was Mormon.
Cause if he ain’t Mormon he ain’t gonna like Utah.

Re: dont forget Signing Day
Here's a screen pass, to Brumfield, look out! one man to beat.....touchdown 'Lah Tech!'. That's Devon Brumfield, the transfer from Utah....
But, I can live with that :).

Re: dont forget Signing Day
Sorry.... I (we) shouldn't spend anymore time (at this time) speaking of Brumfield. He's made his bed, and now he has to sleep in it. Instead, we should focus on all the great kids who did sign with us.
Welcome to Tech!
It's a great class!

agree 100% I thought about posting about all the great players TCU signed from N La -- nothing going to change that - I will focus on the awesome players we signed from Texas ( especially Mesquite) and the Jr college transfers who are serious studs-- I am ready for posts about the great players we signed ! we signed MVP from state championship--set records, over 300 yards --another player wr/qb from career 8000 yard -90 tds -- one I am SO looking forward too , Defensive Player of year in National Junior college -in NJCAA Most tackle (201-sacks 30 and on film I saw a Int TD young man from Utah and our 4 star LSU transfer ) OL --
Coach expressed excitement that our WRs and RBs will add much needed ability to make big plays, he was gentle but pretty specific that we did not have big play maker last year -- So I am all in on posts about who we signed and some of last years class that may help 2018

He ignored Boston Scott's abilities, no wheel routes and he can catch the ball.

He seemed to have a hang up about giving credit or PT to walk ons. He never accepted a compliment on Boston Scott w/out adding that Craft was also a great back and the starter.

Agree with that. I posted a while back Scott should have been our go-to guy, and even put in a plug for McKnight as a TE/Slot back type of player. I thought both should have been utilized more. And I mentioned how KD's use changed over his four years. He was strictly a RB as a freshman, and darn good too. But the following year defenses geared up to stop him and running the ball was a struggle. In his junior year we threw to him, mostly short passes, screens and in the flat. But defenses schemed to stop that, so by his senior year, KD was running wheel routes and going downfield as a receiver a lot more. Scott should have been utilized the same way.
Here's KD's last game in a Tech uniform (and out of one too, they ripped his number off...):
