Jarvis Bentley commits to Troy. Would have liked to snag him, he was a 3* on scout, 247 & espn.

Whoops, my mistake. I think a lot of our guys would be rated higher (or retain their original ranking) if we had a dedicated site on one of the 3 services with subscribers. I know we had a short lived rivals page in 2011, but it would be nice to have a site that updates with prospects as the season progresses. I just want some recruiting information, I don't want to move from GMG or use another forum. It is frustrating having very little information out there, seems like if there has ever been a need for that, it's now.

Tee Goree rated 3* by Rivals, pretty surprising actually given that the one 3* player we had committed last year(Chad Davis) was bumped to to 2*. http://rivals.yahoo.com/northtexas/football/recruiting/player-Terian-Goree-152367

I've heard the bump in pay will come from wealthy folks who have just been completely blown away by his inner city ministry work. He really showed that he is a selfless person turning down Arizona State for his ministry last year, it really speaks to his character.

We have 16 committed(and a grayshirt in Fortenberry I think) and if there is 11 more spots these are the players who I would like to land to round out the class. I have chose to exclude a few uncommitted players who have BCS offers for the sake of realism. I believe we have a shot with any player listed below. 1.

Holy cow! We are on a freaking roll. Also offered by CSU, Toledo, Tx State & UNM.

The DT Williams is "feeling Missouri" according to scout. I don't think we're going to land him if he indeed has an offer from Mizzou which is where his brother plays. I have no idea about Sekou Clark but I would guess he had a strong showing at a couple of camps and given the pedigree of defensive lineman from Ryan the recruiting sites probably expected him to get some BCS offers which is why he is a 3* on ESPN. I don't think the issue is grades as ESPN shows him with an offer from Tulane at one point or another.

I believe someone posted that he will be enrolling early. So Mac & co. will get an extensive look at all 4 quarterbacks this spring.

Well, I got two more days of mean green all access(except home football games) and I got to watch the women lose a game, hope that is not foreshadowing. I'm excited I finally have the time to watch a whole game.

You're spot on there. If you'll notice on his rivals page he is listed as a soft verbal. Obviously we are his choice among the schools who have offered hence the commitment, but if he receives an offer from Baylor or Texas (who have both been in contact at one point or another) he would likely switch, at least that's how I'm looking at it. http://sports.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Terian-Goree-152367

I read on a 247 thread that Goree measured 6'3 3/4 at a combine and ran a 4.58 laser timed 40. That is absolutely solid.

Will we have the same announcers from Portland or will it be that complete spare George Dunham? We need those guys (and their feed that sounded like someone was rolling in bubble wrap in the background) tonight.

How bad does it suck for CUSA to know they'll have to face these two bad asses for at least 4 years?

I have no inside info, I do think we'll have a JUCO LB commit at the very least with all the offers out at that position. I'm still not sure if Max Martial is actually visiting or not, the rivals visit date could be a typo since scout & 247 don't have a date listed. You would think we are the clear cut favorite given that he is from Florida and would probably fit in better in Texas than Wyoming or Idaho but what do I know? My money is on Akii Smith committing, he has retweeted UNT football stuff once or twice, played high school ball in Oklahoma and all his offers are from schools east of Texas besides New Mexico.

Nice! This is just the good news I needed after last Saturday. I'm happy we got Tee, but am also ecstatic we got Rutherford. It will be interesting to see how this class shapes up, we should have some JUCO players commit here in the next couple weeks.

I'm sorry but this argument doesn't make sense. They are players who Dodge signed, but they would not have developed the way they have without McCarney. I have complete faith in DMac's ability to develop players, especially under the radar guys.

Dunbar has the worst luck. Injured at the same time Murray was injured, and the few carries he has had up until this game he was met in the backfield and had no chance. Finally showing something today and then a direct snap play designed specifically for him get snapped to Mercury. Meanwhile Bobby Rainey is getting 20+ carries a week at Tampa Bay. Really wish he didn't play for the Boys, he would have had more chances by now elsewhere.

Give Tony F'ing Denton an extension

"Can these guys from Denton, Tx shoot the three or what? Incredible.

Double OT GMG

So... Do we win a bowl game if we get this type of QB play? Do we beat Tulsa with this type of QB play? If we lose to Tulsa will we be shunned by HOD and forced to go to Hawaii or New Orleans to play a sun belt team? I'm happy with any bowl don't get me wrong but playing ULL + 35K Cajuns or a game in Hawaii would be a slight let down.
