UL Commitments

[CajunT]

_ We initially offered and he didn't have the grades. Then he became eligible, but we didn't offer again. Why not? What changed the coaches mind about him? Why weren't we on top of this kid and re-offered? If he really wants to play here, he is only a commit to UNT. Could he not still change his mind with another offer, assuming we still want him? _

I don't know how to make it any more clear. If admissions told the staff his transcipt would not be accepted, then why re-offer? The Clearing House hasn't ruled on his status as of yet either. Sometimes people make simple decisions more complicated then necessary. I can only tell you what has transpired, all other questions should be directed to Coach Bustle. He makes the final decision on all scholarship offers.

I was under the impression that the Clearing House ruled favorably on his status when UNT offered him, so I was wondering why we didn't know that and reoffer if we still wanted him. Apparently, he still has not cleared and UNT is just taking a chance that he will.

_ Has anyone heard about the Mamou running back, Rob Walker? I think I have his name right? _

Oh, we've heard of him or at least I have. I've been pining for him to come here and I sure hope he does. If you watch his highlight reel, I'm confident you'd feel the same too....

Then you would be mistaken. North Texas has no problem taking prop athletes, as they have in the past. Some schools will take more then a few and hope they can become eligible. Bustle has had a history of only taken a chance on such athletes every once in a while. Last year, it was Clark and Melvin White. But he has never taken a chance on more then a few in any year.

I will try to help CajunT clarify. The clearinghouse has not given the OK to White as of yet. Therefore his commitment to UNT may be meaningless.

I see we have signed white --who is Clark and did he make it????

Re: Kyle White - I guess we will all know for certain on Feb 4th. Two weeks from today, right?

Clearing House may not render a decision by then. In fact, they have been slow to respond in the past.

Hey Cajun T...what is this upcoming weekend shaping up to look like?

Couple of commits coming in like Andrew Hebert, safety and Walker.

Like as in Robert Walker? You mean he committed?

That's true. He may become eilgible at some later point down the road.
