Cougar Recruiting

I see Christian McCaffrey. Move him around, give him 15-20 touches, and between him and Henderson, light up the new scoreboard.

Yes but the whole sales pitch to Henderson has been that it would be built around him and he is recruiting players because of it. At least that was in one of his interviews.

Iā€™m sure he was promised a shot at Qb, but certainly no guarantees.

He literally can go anywhere. Apparently, most of these big schools want him to move to WR, which I think was a deal breaker for him. Iā€™m sure he is not coming here to be a backup or play another position.

Whoever loses out will transfer. Itā€™s all good! I look forward to the competition.

Maybe, maybe not. Both can play multiple positions. But if either or both are quarterback or nothing players, then yes (I could one hitting the portal.

Multiple talented players is a good problem to have.

If he was McCaffreyā€¦ heā€™d be recruited by other P5 schools as wellā€¦

Good luck to the manā€¦ but good lord!

He said he sees a player that can be compared to Christian McCaffreyā€¦and once again, you have never seen the kid play so how do you know who he compares to? You really need to drop the silly argument of who is recruiting him because I know he has picked up several other nice offers since committing to UH. But frankly I could care less if it came down between us and Riceā€¦he is a playerā€¦
Ok, itā€™s doubtful that he is another McCaffrey, but it is not out of the question. Bottom line is that Carlisle has the intangibles to be a great Cougarā€¦and that is good enough for meā€¦

Will be a GREAT Cougar! Canā€™t wait to watch on this level. Go Coogs!

Season starts Friday.

36

Reminds me of SMUā€™s QB back in the early 80s, McElhenny. Hopefully he gets the same results.

37

Will be watching Ridge Point Friday night and the Coogs Saturday. Canā€™t wait

Case benefitted from the Air Raid. I thought CWF ran a more run oriented offense, even at QB.

Hey maybe it will work.

If I can shake this Covid, Iā€™ll be at both games too.

If you go, give us OOT guys a full detailed report please.

Or a brief summary would work as well. :hugs:
