There’s still time to turn this thing around and, strictly from a sports standpoint, get things back. Get the numbers down, have a basketball season starting in November, get a full football season, or at least a 10-game conference season, starting in the spring, etc.

Message could not be any more clear.

Moving that commitment date up

No. These are all of our new scholarship players.

He has picked up 4 Crystal Balls over the last couple days, all 4 to Utah State

Looks like everyone made it

Commits to TCU

Glad he’s not stringing us along anymore and we can allocate our resources elsewhere

Bill Seals of Cyclone Report on Rivals forecasted him to Iowa State tonight. Basically Rivals version of Crystal Ball.

Green commits

https://247sports.com/college/north-texas/Article/Jayden-Jones-discusses-decommitment-North-Texas-Mean-Green-football-still-in-hunt-149126091/ Sounds like our top competition right now is Kansas and Colorado and he doesn’t exactly sound like he’s in a hurry to commit anywhere. The takeaway I left with is he didn’t expect to receive so many offers when he initially committed to us and now that he’s received some P5 offers he wants to leave his commitment open so he can receive as many offers as possible and weigh his options at that point.

Kevin Greene seems to be the most likely person.

Back in March when the pandemic really kicked into gear here, I felt like the end goal was always the fall. Do what we can as a society to get the virus under control, relieve hospital capacity, and hopefully be ready to get things mostly back to normal when the next school year and football season started. Regardless of how one might view or attribute the causes or legitimacy of the concern, we have failed in this, especially compared to other countries. I hope we see us a country band together and take this opportunity as a do-over for those who maybe did not pull their weight in terms of attempting to flatten the curve. Because if we all start taking this seriously as a collective, there is time to get a real football season back in the fall. But if we keep on our current trajectory, who knows when we will get football back? And at that point, the problems will likely be much bigger than just getting football back.

This is huge, particularly with recruiting. Very real chance we see signing periods altered.

#18 is taken on both sides of the ball. Austin Ogunmakin on offense and Upton Stout on defense.

FWIW, he deleted his tweet of him decommitting

I think I actually like his film better as a wide receiver. Really fluid.

Whether or not there is a fall season doesn’t change if they can transfer where they want, when they want. If they are full qualifiers then they can transfer to any D1 school whenever they want. If they are not then they have to fulfill meeting the junior college schooling requirements.

Dominoes continuing to fall at multiple levels.

Maybe I missed it, but I hadn’t seen an official announcement on pod play being discontinued. And we will get UTEP twice. If UTEP’s schedule is an indication, we will probably play Rice, UTEP, UTSA, La Tech, and Southern Miss twice each, then each of the other 8 teams in the conference once each. Would make sense that the conference is looking to cut down on travel as much as possible.
