WT Football

[UTPBFalcons1]

Yes UTPB is 36 full. I am surprised to see UTPB #1 in transfer portal rankings. They are doing an incredible job in recruiting. I have not seen WT or any of the LSC really having success in the portal. Anyone hearing anything differently?

I know a number of Transfer QBs & players in general that have reached out to Lynn and staff. Almost all of them got no reply from anyone on the new staff.
these aren’t fringe players either, most of them D2, FCS and a hand full of FBS guys.

Makes me wonder if Lynn & Co. just need to check their emails/DMs to find the right guys with the time they have left.

UTPB is fully funded (36) last I’ve heard.

I follow what UTPB, ENMU and WT are doing on twitter. I think its interesting. It seems to me that UTPB and ENMU are dropping offers to a lot of kids in the portal. UTPB is getting a bunch of them, ENMU not so much. It makes me wonder how UTPB is paying for all these kids. It seems WT is being a little more selective and really competing with a lot of the FCS schools. It seems like WT is in the market for, QB,OL, DT

Well last I check UTPB is close to if not fully funded and ENMU might be a fraction of that?

Part of it might be the drastically differences in offensive strategy that UTPB and ENMU will run so ENMU may not get the enthusiastic QB and WR commits that UTPB might get.

WT may be in the market for anybody with special skills set that they can get their hands on given the time they wasted firing Hughes waiting for weeks instead of seconds.

WT has signed 4 freshmen QBs for the fall and have either signed and not announced a QB transfer as well as having several portal QB offers out there. There will be plenty of competition for QB this fall. Too bad the Culwell kid transferred before Lynn got a real chance to talk to him. He would've had a great shot at being the QB this fall. He'll be completely starting over at Central Missouri.

From a player's parent, I heard that there is a potentially very good transfer QB already signed.

I saw where they offered QB Blake Short from SFA

[QB11111]

Here are some more offers since signing day:

Charlie Leota 6'3 330 NG NMMI
Aisea Hahina 6'2 235 LB/Edge NMMI
Miles Cannon 6'3 250 DL College of San Mateo, CA
Mario Keanon 6'3 270 DL Sacramento Juco
Weston Eget 6'3 205 QB NM State
Clifton McDowell 6'3 220 QB Central Arkansas

Commit:
Tycen Williams 5'11 185 S/RB All-State

So, as you can see, lot's of recruiting going on. These are a few found on Twitter that have announced WT offers..

Transfers don't have to be announced till the final roster; 10 days after 1st day of classes.

Clifton McDowell just committed to Southern University,
Eget looks to have a lot of FCS offers, he might be a long shot for WT.

It would be preferable not to start a freshman. If we could get a transfer comparable to Gerber, that would be wonderful.

Taking 10 days to fire Hughes gave the impression he would be back next year. Thankfully some good players like Bogardus withdrew from the portal when Lynn was hired.

How can the football team have only 1 QB on the roster? Did Wendler banish the rest to junior colleges?

Every time I see anything about Wendler on the Internet or TV I instantly put my settings on black and white and feel like I am watching Leave it to Beaver reruns.

I don’t want to be constantly negative about WT but I have noticed changes that I don’t agree with. WT has a lot of alumni in the Permian Basin and the Permian basin does have several large 6A high schools for WT to recruit new students. The previous WT president advertised heavily in Midland/Odessa. I never see WT Billboards here anymore. WT once had a Billboard advertising directly across the street from UTPB. The current president needs to review WTs history. WT is not a Panhandle university.

[Rockofwesties]

My daughter graduated in 2020 Tech offered more scholarship funds and we contacted WT to see if they could match Techs offer and we were told no additional scholarships were available to my daughter because she was not from a “Panhandle” county. Since when has WT turned into a a Panhandle focused school? WT is a state school and they should treat all Texas high school graduates equally.

[WT_TKW]

We have had many discussions about his "recruiting" practices where he suggests to prospective students they can save money going elsewhere.

After enrollment dropped significantly, he came up with a "match any deal" which sounds more like a used car salesman than a university president.

In short, he's an idiot and he needs to be fired.
