OL Rey Burnett has committed to Houston Baptist. Man it sure is nice to see getting out recruited by Houston Baptist and Incarnate Word. Don't forget HBU is worse than we are and is currently on probation. I think the other piece of this story that we simply do not know is how much of a scholarship ACU offered to Rey Burnett. FCS schools can have 85 players TOTAL on football scholarships, but only have 63 scholarships TOTAL to offer. The simply math equation is that would be 42 fulls and 42 half-scholarships. ACU could offer someone a half-scholarship to gauge their interest (the kid is NOT going to post on Twitter that he received an offer of a half scholarship!) Then, HBU or UIW offers the same kid a full. Which offer will 95% of the kids take? The full ride, of course. I don't know for a fact that Burnett's story fits this this scenario, but it illustrates that there is a lot of "behind-the-scenes" stuff that we Catchatters will probably never know.

Coach Dorrel told me while sitting at a softball game last spring that few OL will get full rides the first year. They basically have to be Laws or Parmelly ready. His theory is to bring in a bunch of half scholly guys and when they work themselves into the 2-deep they get the rest of their money. I’m pretty sure that Burnett wasn’t projected as a first or second year starter. This year, without knowing for sure, I suspect that Anthony and Jeffries are the only full-ride guys.

Kid from Marble Falls has really good size and runs pretty well for 6'5" but has a funky throwing motion. Couldn't quite put my finger on the problem but it looked funny to me.

Some comments from AD on recruiting: “
“ it’s going really well.” We have 40 plus offers out but “expect a lot more to come.”
We try to get prospects to come to campus three times— for Junior day, summer camp and an official visit. This allows us to get to know a prospect and for them to get to know us.
AD wants our program to be an FCS version of Stanford in recruiting. Stanford plays quality football while maintaining high standards for recruits in terms of academics and character. Character is very important and we pass on players we don’t believe will be a good fit with our program or ACU.
He described the multi level screening process we go through before an offer is made...a recommendation from the coach responsible for the geographic area the prospect is from is reviewed by the position coach, the coordinator and ultimately by AD himself before an offer goes out. He and his staff spend the first half hour or so of every day reviewing prospects.
