These are meaningless numbers used to attract readers. As stated in another thread, or earlier in this one, Texas Football has gone back and graded the recruiting classes based on their success over the past 4 to 5 years, and North Texas has been ranked #3 or #4 in Texas the last few years. These classes were ranked near the bottom of the rankings on signing day. You can't judge recruits based upon their HS production. Fry signed the number 1 player in the state, Milton Collins, who ended up having a very ho-hum career.

Please Dear Lord, no Dungeons and Dragons references on a sports message board. I beg of You!

He's a nominee, he hasn't been inducted.

Here are some great links to stories about Mr. Haynes success and the events he had to overcome during his playing era. Texans/Chiefs website North Texan Archives

Below is the link showing Abner Haynes being listed as a candidate for the 2006 Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Personally, I think his induction is long overdue considering the era he played in, the harrassment he endured and the success he realized. TSHOF Candidate List Below is the link to the list of the Selection Committee. I would like to start an email drive by all of us in support of his election. Please email the member's of the selection committee and ask, in a nice and tactful manner, for them to consider Mr. Haynes for induction. There is also an opportunity for the public to vote. You must pay $25.00 for membership to have this opportunity. TSHOF Selection Committee

Quoner, which underclassman do you have your eye on to take the place of Johnny Q when he graduates?

They can verbally commit.

Here's a good article from www.Texasfootball.com on a couple of QB's from the Houston area still available. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear either one has been to our camp. Click here

NT's spelling program, unfortunately, is not top-notch.

I think it is more an issue of BcS programs wanting kickers to walk-on and try out for the team. North Texas offered the security of a scholarship.

Jackson must go.

Is there a more appropriate title to a link. I loved the quote on FoxNews: "Lay went from the nice grandfatherly type to Nixon about as fast as Basic Instinct II went to video." Ouch.

In no particular order: OU: Loved them as a kid during the Switzer years. Arkansas: I'm the only Texan in my family, the rest are Razorback fans, so I was brought up to cheer for them and not the Horns'. Probably why I liked OU as a kid. Have kind of lost interest in Arkansas since they left the SWC. Ohio State: For some unknown reason I liked them as a kid. I thought Art Schlitster (I know that's not even close to the correct spelling, so I took the phonics route) was the greatest QB ever. Any Texas team, including UT now, except SMUt.

So, you don't even mention Eddrick Gilmore. Do you know he won't be around also? Thanks for the write-up, but I do have one question. Why do you think Stevenson would start at DE in the 3-4 but not the 4-3?

Rivals.com Rating for Seneca Collins This just shows you how accurate the ratings services are. He was a 3 star in basketball.

Does Katie Hnida have any eligibility left?

Why do you say this?

Kind of like after a motorcycle accident. The EMT's won't know what to do if they can't see the victim's eyes as they approach. Sorry, I'm not trying to minimize the care of players with head injuries, but can't they just cut the visors off when they attend to him?

Buy. Buy/Sell: RF will go after Silver Eagle in the stands this year, SE puts RF in a figure four leg lock and gains a submission from RF.

Isn't TSU Texas Southern?

I agree. * Jenks, OK has one of the best HS programs in the country, regularly being ranked by USA Today. * Late qualifier or not, this young man's stats speak for themselves. He's been almost automatic throughout his HS career. * Folks who make their living analyzing the recruiting game rank him as the #9 kicking prospect in the nation. * Who cares if he was a late qualifier, he qualified. Some other late/partial qualifiers that did quite nicely at UNT: Eric Pegram Jonas Buckles Dylan Lineberry And I beleive Cody Spencer I also seem to remember that we were the only D1 school to offer a scholarship to a young man out of Tecumseh, OK that seems to have turned out just fine. Recruiting is a crap shoot. Some of our best players weren't that highly recruited or played one position in HS only to switch to another at NT, such as Cobbs and Brad Kassell. Just look at Texas Football's section where they revisit recruiting classes. Many of NT's were thought to be bad on signing day turned out to pretty good classes. Give these kids a chance before you jump off the deep end bad mouthing DD.

NT asks current season ticket holders and MG Club members for referrals.
