SUMG

Has anyone pointed this out....about the rankings? When we first signed Jayven Anderson....it was noted that he was our top recruit ever (since 247 had been doing rankings). He was listed at the bottom of our signees (as at the very bottom, they rank our top ten recruits ever) as being #1 overall. And as I recall....his 247 score was .88-something. Now you go to 247....and look at the same list....he has suddenly dropped to our 4th best overall. And his 247 ranking is .8726. Not sure what happened....unless it's the typical "discounting" of players....once they sign with UNT. I love this class. What Coach Morris and staff did in such a compact amount of time....is phenomenal. And a final point on recruiting rankings: Bet if we went back and looked....Tulane's classes the last 4-5 years....would be nowhere near the top in AAC. And yet....Tulane put together a team that just finished 9th in the nation.

Their tourneys are gonna be televised on the CW Network this year. But I just don't care. Carlos didn't even win a tourney.....but pocketed over $4 million last year on LIV. So good luck to both....but I won't keep up with 'em....like I did on the PGA Tour.

Next signing period is in April

The 2023 National Championship trophy for hoops.....is touring the country. This Thursday.....it will be on display at The Super Pit.

No doubt about it. And while he might not be our greatest player of all time.......I can't think of one that was more beloved. Everybody loves Tylor.

Tyler TV station does report on the Kollin Lewis signing. I think this kid is gonna be good.... https://www.ketk.com/sports/kollin-lewis-signs-to-play-football-at-unt-with-family-right-by-his-side/

Very good work again, sir. One minor correction: Mt. Vernon can't be 6A....maybe 3A or 4A??

Very good. Thanks for the effort you put into that.

I wonder if any other school in the nation......has a head football coach AND a head basketball coach, who both made their teams....as walk-ons? Grant has treated walk-ons well in his tenure....giving scholarships to both DJ and JJ. As to Eric.....shouldn't say this....but some of the walk-ons he's bringing in.....impress me more than some of Littrell's signees. Maybe we need a Walk-On's eatery here in Denton. It was founded by an LSU walk-on.

If you scroll down this list.....it says that Keith Smith and Starling have both signed with NT: https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/football/2023/01/31/see-the-hundreds-of-dallas-area-athletes-who-are-signing-a-national-letter-of-intent/

Same with Evan Jackson...

North Shore is reporting that Jayven has signed:

PWO......

I saw where Coach Morris is supposed to have a 2 p.m. presser on Signing Day. With this weather....not sure if that happens or not.....but am assuming it would be online if it does....

This is a great week to have a Thursday off.....with the weather situation......

I saw this morning, that Coach Gary tweeted something like "H-town to Denton!'....and then the puzzle emoji. Since he's the DL coach.....any idea if we got a D lineman out of Houston??????

Yes. And besides his grandad and dad being basketball coaches....so are his uncle and aunt. His basketball IQ must be through the roof.

Just committed to OU.

“I have a mindset that I’m the best rebounder in Texas, and the nation,” M.J. Thomas said. “I feel like I’m the best kid, the best rebounder on the floor. When I go get the rebounds, man, it’s dangerous.” An all-state wide receiver at Calvert, M.J. Thomas also played middle linebacker for the six-man football team. A couple of bumps and bruises in the low post won’t slow him down, his father said. “When people think that if they punch him, play dirty with him, he’ll stop; it really turns him on,” Michael Thomas said. “He loves to be physical.”

I'll post the story. Not sure if everyone can see it.....might be behind a pay wall: https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/2023/01/25/at-denton-high-a-father-son-duo-has-helped-turn-the-boys-basketball-team-into-a-winner/

We haven't offered this kid....he's a 6'7" power forward. Okie State and Vandy have offered....along with Sacramento State and New Orleans. Story on him in the DMNews today. Moved here from Calvert. His Dad is head coach at Denton High.....and M.J. is having a great season. 17 ppg and 13.4 rpg. He mentioned in the story that he loves to rebound..... https://247sports.com/Recruitment/MJ-Thomas-141150/RecruitInterests/
