TCU squares off against Rice, LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, DBU, UC-Irvine, and Long Beach State in the next two weeks. All of those teams are in the RPI Top 100. Schloss is looking forward to the challenge.

“This is a good stretch for us,” TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said. “It’ll prepare us for conference play. If we can have some success against it, maybe it’ll help us at the end of the season, too.”

Atanza Vongor narrows his list - includes TCU | Scout.com

The four-star defensive back narrowed his choices down to TCU, Baylor, and Texas. He’s planning on making his announcement in the very near future. Scout National Analyst Greg Powers has this to say about Vongor’s game.

“Vongor is a hitter who can separate the ball from the receiver or ball-carrier. He's played both sides of the ball during his high school career, but projects best as a safety to the high-major level, because his highlight tape really comes alive on the defensive side where his pursuit angle to the football and closing speed show exactly what type of prospect he will be on the next level."
