Here's the QB. I'm excited about him after watch his highlights!
I find myself asking how long will he stick anytime I see a Texas recruit.
That said - I really like how we’ve moved to the Midwest in recruiting.

On Deyon Batiste-
Every bit of 6'5 225 and has an absolute cannon. Was committed to Iowa State since June, Wyoming came in late and they immediately clicked. Under-recruited because he played in the Wing T offense with very little-to-no weapons, same reason his numbers don't pop off the page. Much better year this year, despite the circumstances around him. Never transferred or complained, just went out and played his tail off each week. Kid can make every single throw and will win over a locker room with ease. If the staff develops him like I anticipate they will, you all will be VERY happy for the next few years.

Nice to see a guy that can clearly put some velocity on the ball not feel the need to do it all the time. Seems that throwing a ball with touch is not something you see often in college anymore.

Looks like we got the good kicker from Cheyenne?

Preferred walk-on I believe.

Questions:
1. Does anyone feel the 3 word thing reminds them of the Dave Matthews / Nicole Kidman (Just Go With It) verbal exchange when they leave eachother's company?
2. Dafua is #LA24DISE ??? Class of 2024, Laramie? Ugh.

I think the social media graphics have been trash all season long.

Agree, kind of low budget in that department (even in hoops they are as bad as the intro). The reusable photo is just wonderful. Looks like a solid football class though - mostly development players, but hey, that is who we are. Win now? Pfffffffffffft.

Alex was Iowa Western CC and had some really great offers including P5 offers. Perhaps he will step in and start next year

Alex Conn , OL, was signed from Iowa Western. He originally played at Nebraska for 3 years but never saw the field.

I believe you are looking at his high school offers. His transfer offers didn’t appear that good.

Hopefully that means Waylee and several of the running backs who were injured and sat out last season are healthy and staying.

Dontae Burch signed. He is a KC / MO recruit, and listed as RB / Athlete.

For what it's worth, Sawvell addressed that and said he's pretty comfortable with our RB stable/prospects.
I would've like to see one, but keep in mind a lot of ATH's and DBs convert to RB. And keep in mind we do have regular signing day to come.
I 'm actually pretty satisfied with this class. We addressed positions of need, reloaded at positions of strength, signed local kids, and retained almost all (if not all?) of our commits in spite of coaching changes at every major coaching position.
