Fuente will have a connection with ex-TCU offensive lineman Nykiren Wellington (6-7, 325). Wellington appeared in two games for TCU as a redshirt freshman in 2011 when Fuente was the Horned Frogs' co-offensive coordinator.

I think Nykiren would work out well there with Fuente.

Kewan Alfred is a beast and not sure why he wasn't recruited by some of the bigger programs. Good look to Wellington and sure wish it worked out at TCU for him.

Good luck to Nykiren.

Fuente is doing an incredible job in Memphis. I think they won four games last year which doesn't sound like too many, but I think they won 4 total the previous 3 years combined. They started the year losing to some horrible teams including FCS teams. By the end of the season, they were blowing out their CUSA rivals.

Why did it not work out with NW here? Was it grades or was it just he didn't progress like Williamson wanted him too, or other factors involved?

Grades last year. Looks like he qualified for Memphis - but TCU I don't think TCU is interested in bringing him back - not a good fit - or just plain not good enough.
