Powell could play multiple positions, so he's not necessarily a WR. 3) None of this would impact the recruitment or offer to Bru McCoy. 4) If Texas keeps winning, there could be some last minute feeding frenzy issues that impact numbers, so some of the WR calculations are probably fungible. Should be interesting to watch. They see Powell as similar to BJ Foster.Â
October 11, 20187 yr Author Melissa? the tiny town I used to have to drive to to buy beer? people live there?McKinney is booming. And it’s only 6 miles from the Hutchins BBQ in McKinney to Melissa HS
October 11, 20187 yr I guess we could always take eight receivers in 2019 and one in 2020. Kind of joking.Â

Fuck Melissa. Those Lowland Park motherfuckers. Fuck them all.  Actually, I have a lot of friends in Melissa. Good coaching staff. Some good people. Football team is good, even though they lost to Paris. They are in one of the top districts in the state: Paris, Celina, Melissa, Argyle. I'll see the QB and WR personally again soon.

October 11, 20187 yr 13 minutes ago, BornAndRaised said: Catalon fong'd to Aggy Chad While some have speculated that his injury is going to make him think about being a two sport athlete in college, most felt like football would be the only one but if he's choosing baseball, or thinks he might later down the road only play baseball ... Arkansas has incredible facilities, a good team, and he'd fill a need spot with less in front of him on the roster. Â
October 11, 20187 yr Explains why Texas has been really going after the kid from Permian, the coaches interest seemed to pique after Catalon's Arkansas visit.
October 11, 20187 yr this is an example of the staff betting on itself that it can take raw long fast athletes and develop them instead of a more finished, higher floor, lower ceiling player. Edited October 11, 20187 yr by Longhorn94

October 11, 20187 yr damn. One CB and out come the 'coaches didn't want him' takes. that being said if this is another garrett greenlea situation with his injury, it may be for the best...

October 11, 20187 yr Re: Catalon playing baseball at Arkansas. He's been to Arkansas twice, and both times Dave Van Horn has been in town hosting other recruits and did not meet with Catalon. I've always heard he wasn't a high level D1 baseball recruit. He took a photo in a baseball uniform this past weekend, but doesn't appear to be a baseball priority at all. Edited October 11, 20187 yr by Don Johnson
October 11, 20187 yr I think its pretty obvious the staff wanted him or we wouldn't have stayed on him so long, even with his injury. That being said, It absolutely makes sense that Powell is the back up plan should Catalon wind up picking Aggy Chad.. but, he hasn't committed yet, so I guess we'll see how it plays out.
October 11, 20187 yr Then why even bother with the dumpster fire that is Razorback football? Just go as a baseball recruit, hit dingers and slay some college tail.Â
October 11, 20187 yr If it’s true that the staff will let Powell start at qb, he’s not exactly a like for like replacement for losing out on catalon. Â

Catalon wouldn't sniff the field here, outside of injury and/or STs, until his junior year. That's if the 2020 kids didn't beat him out.

He'd be a really good nickelback, and all we have there next year is one junior, a guy who played WR this year and... that's it. This all feels a bit spoiled milk.

Arkansas has one of the top WR classes in the country committed and just got the #1 TE. It's not like they're going to be this bad forever. Have a borderline top 10 class on Rivals right now, will likely be Arkansas' best recruiting class since rankings started.
