Chev recruit. Challenge here is his dad is a TTU legacy.

 

[BuffLuke80]

My God, we like us some DeSoto. That's great, they are loaded like crazy.

Help me out. Why do I recognize that name? Did Sr play in the league?

A little bit. He was Offensive POY in the Big 12 in '96. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Hanspard

Yes! He was a little guy who ran with a mean streak. I was trying to associate him with a WR and was drawing a blank. He was a helluva running back. I remember him now. Thanks.

“Colorado, being Wide Receiver U with coach (Darrin) Chiaverini and the way he coaches his receivers and the way he takes care of them.”

 

[Buffnik]

Sounds like his relationship with Chev and the De Soto guys who joined the herd in the 2017 class are giving us a good shot here.

(Also, I'm changing the profile from WR to ATH because there's at least a 50/50 shot he plays CB instead of offense in college.)

A DeSoto pipeline is a needed thing

 

[mattrob]

Am I correct in remembering that CU was a finalist for Byron Sr. when he was being recruited?

 

[Brett Fulton]

Help me out. Why do I recognize that name? Did Sr play in the league?

I think there was a notion at one point that Sr. had a 0.0 gpa at TT if I recall correctly, and that he was still able to complete his season. Left after his soph year maybe? Those were the days.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Don't put that in his son's thread man. Doesn't have a damn thing to do with him.

Decommitted from Arkansas, visiting Baylor this weekend.

We can’t out recruit a sex scandal riddled school coming off a 1-11 season? I can’t understand it.

 

[BuffHerd]

**** bailer

CU has offered hundreds of kids, but it doesn’t mean they are focused on or trying to sign every one of them.

 

[Alfred91]

"Giving glory to God" in the same tweet as committing to bailer.

Um, okay.

Uncommon.

A lot of TX kids like to stay in TX.

You realize he was committed to Arkansas until the coaching change right?

I didn't know that. Thanks. Evidently the stigma attached to the Baylor name isn't consistent across the broad population of recruits.

That’s what I was kind of getting at. It’s hard to fathom to me that we’re that low on the totem pole. Sure we could have stopped recruiting him, that’s likely. But the thought that someone would rather go to Baylor than CU makes me sick. Lol.
