UNT90

Unless there is another 6'3" receiver out there, this is the cat. If not, my apologies in advance. Offers are what matter. Always have been. Where you been?

Perhaps you missed that he has one other FBS offer from a non-passing team and was committed to Grambling. It's a fallback option, and makes me think Bradley is indeed gone to Houston.

such a tease. One other active FBS offer. He told Vito we were recruiting him all year yet just offered. Smells like a fallback option.

You don't ask these questions. Ever.

So it looks like we have no fans. That's great...

I think reading between the lines of the car crash debacle is a pretty good indicator that he is done with UNT basketball.

Still has "UNT commit" posted on his twitter page on NSD eve. Good sign.

Another kid that could have gotten a medical redshirt if Benford wasn't trying to protect his job. So Combs and Fraizer could be back next year if UNT was committed to basketball...

I think he at least takes down the "UNT commit" from his twitter. Plus if they only offered at DB...

Not too sure about that. His Twitter still says UNT commit one day from signing day. He may not announce it, but he wouldn't keep posted a commitment to another school on his twitter...

I mean, it's REALLY hard to do. Which brings up the question: Would going 0-18 be Benford's greatest accomplishment at UNT?

Really hard to see a winnable game on paper. 0-18 is a distinct possibility.

The better example would be Dodge's early recruiting classes, but ya. It all comes down to selling your program. Wilson has been able to do it. Littrell has not. Wilson also beat our supposed great Xs and Os coach on the field in both of their 1st years when they were playing with others talent. Right now, it looks like UTSA made the much better hire.

Agree. Listen through about half of it and heard a lot of the same, tired excuses for failure. What Brett Vito didn't say was maybe UNT has just made crap hires, and that maybe UTSA hired a guy that could coach AND recruit. UNT hasn't, at least to this date and time, hired a guy like that.

Meh. I'm southern. Ying it is. #fakenews

Yang to my ying? Not talking to Vito is concerning.

I think recruits look at who THEY will be playing in the future (if they look at all). UTSA is kicking our ass there, also.

No one remembers "initial buzz" from 6 years ago and no recruit gives a damn about their past scheduling. Although seeing you use the scheduling argument is... interesting.

Bradley still has "UNT commit" on his twitter page, so at least that is good news.

Had you heard of UTSA? Texas St? Most kids only hear about the P5s. That's life. If the kid does research, at least we have conference titles for them to discover. UTSA doesn't have one. Hell, they don't have a stadium. Look, we are behind UAB in recruiting right now. A team that was so bad, it's program was disbanded. So if kids are researching, how do you think THAT looks to them? Yet there they are, ahead of UNT. And they had the 2nd ranked class in conference last year before playing a game again. So no, I don't agree it's history. It's been the wrong hires. I hope what you believe about Littrell and staff is true. Early signs are not promising, and to ignore it is to do the time honored tradition of the UNT fan of stocking your head firmly in the sand.

What about Flyer Phil? (Not to be confused with the great UNTFlyer)... I hear that guy is available.

As you say yourself, you knew nothing about UNT. I think that is most high school kids. They don't know the history of suck. What you can't explain is how UTSA is not only beating out the Houstons for recruits, but are beating some P5s, also. Look, it doesn't have to do with history or any of that crap, it has to do with the staff building personal relationships with kids. That (and the school having the educational program the kid wants, in some cases) is all that matters. UNT is getting outrecruited. Plain and simple. It has nothing to do with what happened in 2004 or 1984, it has to do with what is happening right now. And, absent shocking developments over the next 3 days, we are losing in building those relationships.

This should be interesting...

Ya, the NCAA 1st round in Oklahoma City was awesome, as was Hot Springs the one time I got there during JJ's last year. And of course the HOD bowl on New Year's Day in 2014 was great. Also the trip up to watch the Tulsa game on Thanksgiving weekend was awesome. its just really frustrating to watch this administration move at a snail's pace with every problem in athletics. You knew there was a problem in 2004, yet RV got 12 more years to destroy the programs. Everyone has known for 4 years Benford couldn't coach, and he is STILL here. Really tiring watching a university not care about one of its departments...

Lol. Numbers are hard.
