Notes and thoughts from Plano East - Hebron
First, what a game. Hebron's 40-35 win over PESH was a back and forth contest that saw big plays on both sides.The Main Event - I was there to really see Anthony Hines, Deiontae Watts, and Verone McKinley III.Hines finished with around 14 tackles and a key forced fumble. He was all over the field. Hebron made sure to run right at him and get a blocker or two in his face and not let him use his athleticism to track things down. Regardless of what was done Hines found his way to the ball most times. He did come out early in the 3rd quarter with leg cramps and never seemed to shake them once he came back. The thing that stood out to me about Watts was his motor and athleticism. He may not look like it, but Watts can run. He made plays downfield, in the backfield, and on each sideline. It was impressive watching him take an angle and chase down a skill player.As I mentioned in the High School football thread, McKinley is going to get knocked for his size, but he is a physical player. He likes getting in the face of receivers and he is pretty strong when it comes to shedding blocks. I thought tonight's performance was a little uneven, and Plano East was able to get some big plays, but he also had some nice moments. The recruiting newsI was hoping to catch up with Deiontae Watts after the game but it didn't happen. He will be in College Station this weekend. In fact, he left right after the game. The Nebraska commit will be in town on an official visit this weekend.I did catch up with Verone McKinley after the game. He doesn't have a lot of plans right now, and this weekend he is staying home. He does have plans to attend the Clemson-South Carolina game this year and I was told not to be too surprised if he ended up at the Texas A&M-LSU game on Thanksgiving. We'll have a video interview later.I already posted Hines stuff this morning HERE IT ISOthers who caught my eyeHebron 2018 OL Braeden Daniels set a physical tone early in the game when he drove Hines to the sidelines. Hines did not let that happen again, but it was an early message and it was delivered quickly. Look out for him. He's a name that is starting to get some buzz behind it.Two Sophomore WRs - it seemed like every time I turned around Trejan Bridges and Braylon Henderson were doing something. Bridges had 6 receptions including 3 TDs. The first one was nice but the second and third one were highlight reel type plays . He showed some great body control and concentration. Braylon Henderson had 7 receptions for 162 yards and he showed some blazing speed and quickness throughout the night. He also got some reps on defense. Tune suffers an injury - late in the fourth quarter Clayton Tune suffered an injury and he had to helped off the field. It's always tough to see a young man suffer like that and my prayers go out to him. For the game he completed 16 of 22 passes for 214 yards and 4 TDs and he rushed for 139 yards and a TD on 20 carries. PESH QB Miklo Smalls gave his team a huge boost on the ground. He came through with several clutch plays to spur on a comeback in the 2nd half and used his legs to open things up and pick up chunks of yardage. He finished with 23 carries for 129 yards and 2 TDs, and completed 15 of 31 passes for 310 yards and 3 TDs. One senior to watch is Kyle Burford. He's a 6-foot, 190-pound safety and he is under the radar. He made several big plays tonight, and he is one of the top players on the Hebron defense. He's having a big year, but he's under the radar because he has been focused on basketball before.

Notes from Hebron/Rockwall - Verone McKinley, Orji brothers, and more
So after yesterday got rained out I decided to get the work in early this morning and got it in just before the rain. Verone McKinley III went through his first scrimmage as a member of the Hebron squad and he was tasked with covering Rockwall standout WR Sam Crawford for most of his time. He did a pretty good job of keeping him under wraps for much of the contest. He did hear quite a bit of trash talk and he had more than a few words of his own. Afterward he was all smiles, and he had plenty of good things to say about Texas A&M.He said he talks to coach Joseph about every week and the Aggies are high up in his mind. Trimming his list has been on his mind and he's been talking to his family a lot. When he does make his cut he characterized A&M's chances of making the cut as "high, very high".in the past he has mentioned plans to visit Texas A&M for the Tennessee game. It looks like he will visit sooner than that though. He now plans to visit for the Texas A&M/UCLA game. He's not sure about visiting for the Tennessee game due to responsibilities to his team.**************After the scrimmage I also caught up with Rockwall standouts Alston Orji and Anfernee Orji. Alston mentioned visiting for the Texas A&M/Prairie View game, but he was not sure on that one. Oklahoma/Texas was another game he mentioned as a possibility.He's still not naming top schools and said he would probably wait until after the season to do so. He does see a lot to like in Texas A&M though. He mentioned A&M being in the SEC and strong in academics as pluses and called A&M "a top tier school."Since we didn't catch up with Anfernee after the Who'sNext BBQ I asked him a few questions about the trip."I liked the campus. I saw the coaches and they're real polite and try to get to know you. They sit with you and eat dinner and really try to get to know you. Academics is real nice. The campus is real beautiful. It's just a nice place to be."He mentioned A&M as the school showing the most interest right now.*********I got a few new names to watch2018 Hebron DE/TE Paul Akere caught my attention. He has a long wingspan and frame at 6-4, 195 pounds. He's moving from OLB to DE for the 2016 season.2019 Hebron WR Trejan Bridges (6-1, 170) showed himself to be a playmaking threat. His feet are nice and he made some nice moves after the catch to make guys miss. 2018 Hebron OL Braeden Daniels (6-4, 260) has some tools to work with. His flexibility and light feet stood out to me. Plus he does not have much bad weight on his big frame. 2017 Hebron WR Jalen Slater (5-11, 180) had the best day with an INT in the endzone as a backup CB, a big hit, and a touchdown at WR. 2018 Rockwall WR Cameron Crayton (6-2, 175) showed some very nice athleticism. He can flat out go up and get the ball. Still raw at WR, but has some tools. His brother, Caleb Crayton played basketball at Houston Baptist. Then there was 2020 Rockwall WR Jaxon Smith. He's not very big at 5-10, 160, but his first catch was one of the longest plays for Rockwall today. He has already been moved up to varsity and saw quite a few reps today and did very well. He's a name to watch for the future. Smith camped at A&M this summer.

Staff Predictions

The predictions represent which school each staff member believes will ultimately sign the recruit, and the confidence meter represents his level of certainty in that outcome.

Example #1

If the predicted school is Texas A&M and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Texas A&M and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
