Belton

Certainly potential to be the most interesting story we've had in a while. So many people will be wishing his success including many outside the LaTech family.

One year tenure max.

That's about the "shelf life" of a Gary Crowton offense. After only a year or two, the good DC's in conference figure it out and stop it.

He's a Rummel Raider, so you know he comes in as my favorite.

I think he'll do fine at Tech. Might switch to a WR, or be used as a slot back, sometimes running the ball, sometimes going out for a pass. He had injury issues in high school, and his durability is a concern. The conditioning coach needs to put a little muscle on him.

But, as you watch that tape, you see a lot of similarities between Rummel's offensive scheme and Tech's. So that'll be an easy transition for him.

This kid reminds me a lot of Dixon. He's great at making catches out of the back field, and on screen passes. The opposition he played against appears to be much better than what the Minden kid was playing against.

Yep, keeps his legs moving and does not stop!!

My favorite will be Snead...when he commits.

I am nervous that Abraham is Isham 2.0

[Houston Techsan]

I don't believe Skip will throw him to the wolves as it were, like Sonny did Isham. He has one experienced QB ahead of him, one with some experience and one who is expected to be great.

Tulane fans were very much hoping to keep him committed. He drew interest from UCLA and an offer from Cal.

First of all, Nick Isham wasn't a terrible QB. Especially for a 17-yr old TRUE freshman. He was very scrappy, and could definitely throw a beautiful deep ball. Isham's biggest problem was that he was thrown to the wolves by former HC Sonny Dykes.

It's amazing that Isham was able to do as well as he did. It took Colby Cameron 3 years to adjust to being an FBS starter. It took Cody Sokol 4 years. And reasonable people could easily argue that it took Jeff Driskel 4 years to find FBS success too.

And all we gave Isham was 6 or 8 weeks.

All that said, Isham threw for over 6,000 yards in his entire HS career, with his best HS season being 2,990 yards. Abraham had 3 seasons better than that. Abraham threw for over 12,000 yards in his career, and for 5,090 yards in just his HS senior year. Statistically, Abraham appears to really be from a different planet.

HD see my earlier post. I don't see Skip doing this. However, as others have pointed out some believe Nick was promised he would start as part of his recruiting.

Oh I understand. I just think Nick Isham gets a bad rap around here. Given some time, I believe Isham could have eventually worked out fine as a LA Tech QB. But, the kid was literally forced to start the first 6 and a half games of the 2011 season, and he will forever be judged by that. Never mind that LA Tech's team clearly hadn't jelled yet, and the toughest part of LA Tech's schedule that season were the first 7 games that Isham played in (e.g., against USM, Miss State, Houston, Hawaii, etc...).

I'm going to say the combo of Abraham /Cousar. A quarterback with his own 6'5" TE is a good deal.

Watched the senior highlights on HUDL for these two. What a combo. Hope to see them play together in the not too distant future.

HD, I agree on that. However his ego wasn't going to let him sit. It wasn't just Tech. See what happened at Arizona (maybe State).

I understand he had some social issues too.
