Yet another visitor from Fairfield: 3 Star Athlete Bryson Gates, 6'3" 196, will be in Abilene with team mates Larry Rose III and Chris Lide. Gates is a soft commit to Colorado State but has been looking at other programs, including ACU and Sam Houston. 247sports.com/Player/Bryson-Gates-21366

Not sure that makes a verbal commitment but it's gotta mean the visit is going well. Gates played several positions for Fairflied. He is being recruited by Sam Houston to play OLB but can also play inside. It would be great if all three of our visitors from Fairfield wind up at ACU! All of them look good enough to compete for playing time right away based on their ability and our need for help at WR, LB, Kick and Punt returner, and possibly RB.

A quick look at the three areas where Coach Collums says we could use "immediate help."
QB. Looks like we have settled on Cody Ennis as our HS target. No word on any transfers.
WR. Houston transfer Larry McDuffey goes a long way toward addressing this need. Chris LIde from Fairfield and Gary McNight, Jr. from Lawton, Oklahoma are two more names to watch. Larry Rose III is ideally suited as a DCH type combination player at rb/wr. Also, TE Cedric Williams Judson Converse has played WR. There may be others. I can't find out anything about Brandon Colon from Los Fresnos, for example.
ILB. Reggie Long from Whitehouse lists Tarleton, Air Force and SFA as the schools where he will take official visits. We may be off his list. Bryson Gates from Fairfield has played both outside and inside linebacker. Denzel Thomas from Mesquite Poteet is another very promising option.
Expect surprises ahead as the ground shifts under our feet.

Visiting San Diego State this weekend, per scout. I have no idea what our status is with him since he does not seem to have a Twitter account.

Just watched the highlights of Brady Melde, OG, 6'4" 260. There is some serious mean in this guy. And for a guard, looks like some speed too. Sigh him up.

"Sign" him up. I've seen too many that have been "sighs."

Just saw a tweet that Myles Solsberry committed. Anything to corroborate this? What do you know about him?

"Sign" him up. I've seen too many that have been "sighs." Speaking of "sighs", I've heard Christian Rodriguez's scholarship was rescinded. Has anyone heard the same? Interesting Melde is almost the exact same size Rodriguez was when they signed him.

Not surprised, Catdad. Christian just did not seem to be able to improve his footwork - he was incredibly slow out of his stance. He appeared to be a very timid guy to boot. He was going to be dangerous for our QB!

Preliminary visit list for next weekend. Brendon Clemons DB Judson Converse Hudl highlights are private. Just watched the highlights on this kid. I'm on board. Makes plays in the open, is aggressive when he steps in the box, and can tell that he's coachable and smart by his technique and placement on the field. Plus he has the frame to add on some weight. Reminds me of Tony Harp from a few years back coming out of Judson.
