Due looks like a very strong recruit and won a lot of awards in Texas for his high school career. Can’t find any mention of other offers. Is this kid the unicorn who didn’t spend time bragging about his offers or did he not have any for some reason?

Still all these are verbals, right? No NLIs yet otherwise we'd see all those pictures of kids signing papers with their Holy Cross shirts.
A bit jaded, perhaps, but the lawyers used to say, "if it's not in writing, it didn't happen."

Is this kid the unicorn who didn’t spend time bragging about his offers or did he not have any for some reason? He didn’t play his Jr year which hurt. Colorado School of Mines which was in the D2 National Championship was in on him.

Due is a steal. I reached out to some old contacts in DFW and to a person “steal” was the word they all used. I can’t tell you how far it sets one’s recruiting back if you DNP your junior year in a hot bed like TX. He was the DPOY on the 6A state semifinal team. He was first team all district in one of the best in TX. He was second team all DFW (go look at this list and probably 40 of the 48 players selected are Power 5 bound). He will be an overhang safety (likely SS) at ~195-200 when it’s all said and done.

Daniel Porto - K from Florida committed. Elon, Murray State offers. I had a feeling.

So we are waiting one player based on Scott James' signals to announce his commitment. It wouldn't shock me to see one more signal today.

Certainly seems that way. We know Mills was on campus this past weekend along with Chisom Ozwuzurigbo.

He’s a PK, but I believe he also punts.

Here's Daniel Porto's senior year highlight reel www.hudl.com/profile/14726928/Daniel-PortoSure has a big leg on kickoffs--at least in the highlights-- very deep and the kicks looked high to this non-expert. No kicks run back . All field goals shown appeared to be short distance

Excellent gets in Baldwin & Due from strong football programs ! Nice size in both for DB's and they can hit...... kicker is going to give more depth in both kicking games with huge hang times. Very successful recruiting weekend according to the coaches. Wednesday will be very interesting in adding size and speed to our football team. Chesney's team keeps getting better each year.

Expecting / hoping 11 sign today. 9 are public: 22 - Sean Woods - OL 23 - Jon Wood (transfer from SHU) - DB 24 - Hopkins - WR 25 - Castro (transfer from Arkansas) - LS 26 - Crocetti - DB/OLB 27 - Rosenberg - LS 28 - Baldwin - DB 29 - Porto - K 30 - Due - DB
Edit: 31 is in the boat! Chisom Onwuzurigbo - DB from Missouri City, TX. We’ve been quietly on this kid for a while. Another steal! 7 offers mostly D2 and a couple big time JUCOs. Similar to Due, didn’t play much as a junior (district outside Houston is one of the top 6A in the state as well) Started as Senior and crazy productive. 1st team all district in both football and academics. Likely a FS/WS at HC.
