Here is a list of Longview's D1 signings thus far (I figured I would post this seeing as how since there not from Tyler, it may not be done otherwise),

 

Alonte' Darden-Central Arkansas

Jerimiah Farley- Houston

Carey Fortson- LA Tech

Aaron Johnson- Houston

Bryce Redman- Houston

 

And still 1 more possibly to come,

Tyler McCray- considering TCU

 

 

Lobo97,

 

I sent this to you privately by u2u, but I'm going to publish this as well.

 

Smoaky.com has a MASSIVE list of East Texas players with basically every school in East Texas included.

 

The post above yours involving the Longview players who signed was "UPDATED BY ME," to include the players who DID NOT sign with just Houston.

 

I updated the list.

 

I was waiting confirmation from Coach King because some players were up in the air today, including what Bubba Vactor would do, where would Tyler McCray sign, among others?

 

This thread was started to add PICTURES to our National Signing Day coverage, but when everyone started adding the signings, that's great.

 

Meanwhile, you make a completely ******* accusation about this website, and I've had it with you and your chip-on-the-shoulder personality.

 

I have added the pictures as they've been sent to me today by email. Brian Bowman and/or John King of LISD are sending me pictures and I will add them when I get them.

 

I received the pictures of the three kids from Tyler Lee very early this morning and I added them, along with the kid from Redwater.

 

If you think this site is about "Tyler Only," than start one about "Longview Only," but before you do---look up and down the massive prospects list, All-Smoaky.com and tell me it's "Tyler Only."

 

I spend hours-upon-hours making this site about greater-East Texas, and you come up with that ### post.

 

I'm sorry, but you just hit me at the wrong time this time, and grow the hell up.

In the post from Poisoned10, he says that Gilmer's Kedon Franklin signed with Northwestern University. Is that THE NORTHWESTERN of the Big 10, in Evanston IL, or is he referring to Northwestern State in Loiusiana? There is a vast difference.
