I'll hold my judgement but too often they want us to get excited about some guy that was lightly recruited by any other D1 program. Maybe we are just superior at finding diamonds in the rough but I'm tired of UIW out recruiting us. Yes they have San Antonio but their facilities and stadium are barely high school level.

I like this. I honestly think we can compete with any FCS school if we can get the guy on campus. The hard part is getting them to come to Abilene.

That’s the thing, how many guys that are scholarship worthy going to fly out for a try out of sorts on their own dime, or be able to do that. Would have to think it’s mostly regional Texas kids that would show up. Also, most that have scholarship opportunities already will not want to go somewhere for a try out.

Depending on the drills and measurements, this would give you a chance to get on a campus and give you something new to show coaches. I would think players that have aspirations, who have had a lot of COVID roadblocks, could use their time on our campus to be noticed by others.

Is this the guy we are supposed to be excited about? I mean he is a nice pick up but certainly not a "wow" addition. Not trying to sound negative but would Sam or SFA consider him a great addition? Reading my reply I know I sound negative and I'm honestly not trying to be.

Reading my reply I know I sound negative and I'm honestly not trying to be. I see exactly where you’re coming from, bucfan. And, I had the same reaction. I’m no cornerback stats guru but those stats just seem pretty ho hum. Really hoping he is a “wow” addition though. Like you, not wanting to be negative. And btw, I renewed my four season tickets today.

Obviously EWU offered him at one point, and they are one of the premiere FCS programs in the Country. This is a good addition. It also expands the ACU footprint.

Do I think this is the player that Coach Lambo tweeted about the other day, I do NOT. The offensive coordinator is probably not tweeting about a soon to be defensive back commit
Branch to me is a player that at the very least should be in the rotation at CB.
