@Chris Harmon Just saw the tweet about an offer to Kendarin Ray. I know he's playing QB for his team, but I am assuming we are looking at him as a WR or a DB. He looks big and pretty fast as well as a strong runner. Do we know what TU coaches are thinking with him?

Yes...he's a kid I've been following...I created a profile for him earlier this week, as I knew TU coaches were going to his high school. Tulsa is actually recruiting him as a cover safety (free safety). He is in the 2018 Hot List article I just put on the front page.

Tulsa Football currently has 14 commitments and will eventually add approximately eight more to its 2018 recruiting class. Most of those additions will come on the defensive side of the ball, as TU still has holes to fill on the defensive line, at linebacker and in the defensive backfield.

I can see that. With that in mind he could show the same type of range in that position that Dex showed with a touch more speed.

The Denbow kid seems under-recruited. What's the knock on him? 4 INTs is pretty stellar for 16 game season and he did it in 12.
