UH 2024 Recruiting

“it’s rare to see a prospect with such a profound statistical and athletic profile as Ridgle get out of the southeastern footprint.”

Not 2024 but all about Fritz/staff eye for talent.

That is a huge get for UH !
Onward …and Go Coogs !

PS Jim Brown was 6’-2 and 232 and Earl Campbell was 5’-11’ and 232 . So our guy is 6’-1 and 220 . Look out opposing defenses, he gets 7yds per carry in HS(Earl got 5)!

I hope the Burnette commit sends a message to HS coaches and recruits in the 713 area. If you don’t send us 4 stars we’ll get them from other states. We’re not a CUSA send us your 2 star leftovers school anymore. Send that message loud and clear.

Let’s see, 4th and goal at the 1 for UH:

Does Donovan Smith sneak?
Does J’Marion Burnette power up the middle?
Does Parker Jenkins go wide?
Does Donovan Smith hit one of our WRs or TEs in the end zone?

Nice problem to have.

Brunette about coach “Coach Fritz he’s real”. So something real is coming out of H-Town :joy:

I still like the Tight end reverse/motion (Bill Yeoman) since everyone is looking up the middle !

Great point Dan. This is IMO one of the most historical signing for us. He still has to sign though. Think about where he is coming from and the schools that were/are after him. He is without any doubts a five stars recruit.


What I fully appreciate from HCWF is that he is “selling” U of H to the country. Do you all realize how important this is? Getting four/five stars from Alabama this is what is going to get us to recruit from coast to coast. Outstanding.

Just noticed that this new RB is from an Alabama town of about 8,000.

I suspect he’ll enjoy what the “Big City” has to offer!

Signing these players sends a message to every greater Houston area H.S.
The message is:
"Do you want to create Houston history or not?

Coach Fritz is selling UH nationally. Now if we can get our NIL mojo , will fulfill the long held opinion.by many, UH is potential perennial power in CFB which are old SWC ex mates have feared for a long time we be if allowed into a power conference, again. Like Barry Switzer said, you be crazy to allow Houston in a power conference. Well Barry we have arrived.

Most of his offers have dried up, but he had some big ones–no doubt.

Former CDH WR recruit Heath McRee, from Austin Westlake, committed today to San Diego St.

There are usually only 32 5* recruits per year or basically what they are projecting to be a 1st round pick
