Crypto: I guess I never saw much before on PWO's. Did this past year make a difference in the quality of these types of offers or it a normal situation that usually gets little attention?

Interesting question, TCU as do all programs try to fill their fall practice roster with the twenty allowed PWOs (total not just incoming freshman). These are WOs who are allowed to start practicing with the team prior to the start of school when the other walk-ons can join the team.

However this year does seem unusual and it does have to do with the changes in the process mostly due to COVID-19 restrictions.

No football camps and no coaches visits have really made it tough for a lot of good but late bloomers to get noticed. Also with many lower programs virtually shutting down including JUCOs options are becoming more limited.

I like highlighting the walk-ons as much as possible and looks like there will be some definite early contributors coming in this year.

It's also very difficult to have a reasonable discussion of any sort with someone who so flippantly abuses basic rules of the English language.

Would be a lot like Jawaun Johnson from a few years ago. Very athletic and runs well. Opted out during the middle of the season so I’m not sure if he would have 1 or 2 to play.

Nice prospect.
But er uh did anyone else notice the bodies flying around on that defense?

Demarco Roberts of Aledo is undersized but is a heck of an athlete.
Only 5'8" 160 lbs but made all state at cb as a jr and has rushed for 2,000 yds this season. Why doesn't he have more offers?

He is the second LBer from GaSt the staff has looked at (also in the portal).

Percy Lewis: Overwhelms his undersized opponents. Like with other large offensive tackles no film against quality opposition on these videos.

if i am not mistaken, the ncaa has set restrictions on college coaches going out and watching players so a 5'8" 160 lb defensive back might not garner a great deal of attention and 2,000 is a great high school season, but doesn't guarantee success at the college level.

a good number of kids who would be ideal candidates at the level below p5 are going to be overlooked and not offered with what has transpired with the covid etc...

Believe that ship has sailed and TCU was the wind behind the sails. Funny how excited Baylor people were about him and now he's gone.

Hate that for the kid if true.
Looks like a special player.

Special physical talent. There's been some debate about how good of a football player he is.

 

[CryptoMiner]

somewhat disappointing
