Why aren’t we at least on this list? There is definitely D1 talent at DC. From what I was told on this board -- "These coaches do not come from a church of Christ background...Over 75% of the student body is not from a church of Christ background now." And that, "Traditional church of Christ students will go to Harding, LCU, etc, not ACU." So why would we expect them to show up to Dallas Christian??? There have been a lot of passive aggressive silly posts on this board over the years that are insulting and absurd, this one ranks fairly high. Regarding the coaches not visiting DC this year does not mean they are overlooking DC players. I believe one or more members of the staff visited Dallas Christian last spring and summer and likely had conversations with people there in the fall. Just because ACU is not listed on this post doesn’t mean they aren’t working hard or overlooking a pipeline for the university. If you compare this staff to previous staffs, this group is light years ahead. I would estimate they have visited several hundred schools in the last 18 months and I would be very surprised if DC is not one of those.

Just a legit question imo. I wholeheartedly agree that this staff has been incredibly great and better at recruiting.

Looks like pretty good stats this past season. Does he also kick off?

I wonder what he would work on for his graduate degree if he came to ACU since he already has a BS in Electrical Engineering?

Yes he also kicks off but his stats in that area decreased last year from the year before. He also punted in HS but I'd think we're looking at him more for FG's.

I wondered if the NEXT lab would be an attraction for him. We don't offer graduate level classes in engineering or physics do we?

Since the portal opened on Tuesday, nothing major to report yet. Obviously the staff is focused on spring practices, but also have one eye on the portal. A few nuggets-
They have their eye on a former Pac 12 (yes I know the conference is now dissolved) WR. Young man is huge and honestly, could move to TE if they are able to get him. Played high school ball in Texas.
TE- staff is looking intently at a former Big 12 TE. Played his high school football near Waco.
OL- the staff is looking the most at this spot. They seemed to have zeroed in on another PAC 12 player. This no way indicates that we will get him, but the staff is all over him. They are looking at several other players as well, but none as close as this one. I would expect 2-3 additions here.
Not too much to report on the defensive side yet. There is a current LB in the portal that played in the PAC 12, that could be looking to come back closer to home. He played in the Metroplex in high school.
As far as QB, nothing major to report yet. There are 2 guys that the staff has some interest in. One was a MAJOR recruit in high school, but has yet to do much in college. Both will be tough gets in my opinion.
