I would also like to commend @UNTLifer for his efforts on keeping up with UNT recruiting. From my vantage, it seems like we have been asleep at the wheel for awhile. Littrell stubbornly held onto the old methodology of focusing primarily on DFW/Houston and Texas based high school players for far too long. Some will say that hey it worked with the twins and others and there is truth to that but at a G5 the covid and portal rules have changed all that. When you have a young player blowup in the post covid era they become a portal target at G5 and yes even many P5's! I actually think Phil Bennett and some of the newer assistants have pointed Littrell in the right direction now thank goodness. UNT, much like SMU is in a great place to benefit from portal P5 bounce back players. There are so many great players that leave the area with the lure of P5 only to sit the bench. SMU spends a lot of time with 3-4 star DFW guys they know they probably won't land right out of high school but lays the groundwork for when they decide they need more playing time and need to get closer to home. They set the stage for that early on. The primary reason that Sonny Dykes landed the TCU job is not his looks, or his recruiting abilities, it is because he understands the portal game. Dykes is also successful because he understands you have to delegate recruiting to guys who can recruit. Guys like Reginald Samples who can go into south Dallas and people know him and respect him. Why Littrell has not done this is just a head scratcher. The bad news is it has taken Littrell way to long to figure all this stuff out because he really is learning on the job and fairly set in his ways. That has hurt this program immensely. The good news is guys like Phil Bennett, Jim Gush, Mike Bloesch, Jared Holley, Passwaters etc are good recruiters and understand the game. The even better news is they convinced Littrell to hold out giving away ships to inferior players and wait for the portal to light up after spring practices are over and many talented players realize they need to find a new home if they want to play.

OH AND FOOTBALL WILL RETURN TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE AT THE TOP OF THE BOARD. GMG

I don't think many of you have had to deal with friends and family members who have drug problems and addictions. It is very sad and yes, if we can keep them from hurting themselves we should? Aren't there bigger issues for us to battle out there? I hate when the stupid conservatives misrepresent stuff like this. Dumb.

I have noticed Dave is not calling the games it seems anymore. They have a new guy named Kyle? New guy is good but still wondered what happened to Dave.

People on here don't have a clue. There is a >50% chance that Bloesch is the next head coach here. He already runs a lot of the operation as it is. Guy is super smart and heading places.

Yessir. I heard same. Sounds like they are moving Bloesch over to QB coach and are bringing in Randy Clements in to coach the o-line.

He never got a chance.
