According to 247 we offered a DT named Scale Igiehon on 4-27. Anyone know anything about this?

There is NO mention of this on his twitter feed at all. Very odd. He is being followed by Coach Lamberson, but that is it. Usually when an offer goes out to a player, 4-6 coaches start following immediately.

That is a tribute to you, 82 and the others who keep us informed.

Since we will have serious downtime during the summer, can we discuss some of these offers. I don't know anything except names and don't know what these guys bring to "our table." Are we just filling needs or are these offers out to players who will better our team? Some of you have seen them play or know of them thru media. Are they studs, will we in fact get some of them, leanings, etc. Are we recruiting average joes and counting on our coaching staff to elevate their play? As a caveat for many of you, I will be on the road for June and July and won't be able (most of the time) to join conversations. Bucket list trip with the wife.

Honestly, I do not know if we can answer any of these. The staff only offers players that they believe can help the team. Are they great players; who knows? The coaches think they can help. There are some guys that came in for junior day that might have been more of a nice gesture on our part. However, if we give them an offer, we are serious about them.
All players need to be coached up. It does not matter if you are a 2 star, 3 star, 4 star, or a no star athlete. All players have room to grow and things to work on.
The fact that we have offered around 25 guys this early is a major shift in thinking. I think we will see earlier commitments that normal, but can't say anyone is leaning ACU yet.

LB William Lisenby seems very interested as does WR Katon Brown. But I don't know if they are leaning towards ACU. Also I think that even Dorrel didn't think we would have this many offers out so quick. He said a while back that he wanted at least 15 offers out by June and we are way past that total already.

RB Braxton George has been offered. It's really interesting to see that we are so many players first offer. I don't remember us being the first offer for this many players under Collums.

WR Dewaylon Ingram from Carthage has been offered. He played Wylie in the State Title Game last year. Glad to see some East Texas recruiting. Trying to steal from SFA and SHSU is fun. Anyone know if any coaches are going to be at the APEC/etsn Recruiting Combine in Tyler in a couple of weeks? Dewaylon Ingram is listed to attend. etsn.fm/2017-etsn-fm-apec-football-recruiting-combine-list-of-confirmed-attendees/

OL/DE Josh Owens from Bixby, OK has been offered. I noticed that Owens has pinned an offer from Tulsa on the top of his twitter page. TU would be his hometown U but he seems a bit of a reach for them. 6'4" 265 small town guy.
