Hey guys, @untsportsfan and I started a basketball podcast. Link is below for our first episode. We’re new to this so our first run was a little rough around the edges but I thought I’d post anyways. Hopefully you enjoy some of the discussion. Plan on getting this back going again in October. http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/2/5/0/250a7c26ae066f53/Green_Globe_Podcast_Episode_1_Mixdown_1.mp3?c_id=22255200&forcedn=attachment&cs_id=22255200&destination_id=759116&expiration=1532374852&hwt=e49779f1945d1e114465aa3d8859d185

Well put

See you in February, other top 5 teams

Looks like he’s been shooting the ball well from deep. Pretty efficient play, and a great experience for him. This dude is a tailor made stretch 4, and might be the biggest wildcard on the team

I don't think so. Our QB recruiting ramped up after he decommitted a while back. When he was committed we seemed to stop recruiting other QBs.

Sounds like Dan Mccarney wanting all of his prototypical-sized OL, WRs, and QBs. I think the only QBs under 6'2" who Mccarney offered here were Mcnulty and JT Barrett. I know you have to be smart to become a head coach at the Division 1 level, but it's amazing how stupid some of these coaches are by excluding players because of their height/size. Mccarney signed 8 QBs who combined to win just 5 of their starts and threw for 3,500 career yards and 19 TDs. Fine by himself threw for more than that in his sophomore season, and Mccarney would've never given him a look because of his size. As for Murray, there has been no official release on him signing so it may be as a walkon.

Very nice! Our guard-depth has to be one of, if not the best in the conference.

Class is definitely taking form now

Also nice that even if Littrell and/or Harrell were to leave, this is likely a guy we shouldn't have to worry about transferring.

Boom! You called it

Back to back years we get someone from out of Grand Prairie who holds a P5 offer! Get this man a thread

When I disagree with someone on this board, and they disagree with me, it opens the door for a good back and forth as long as facts and logic are used to support each side. And I get healthy conversations on this board born from disagreement. But from you all I seem to get is you acting butt hurt by my posts and calling me an expert in air quotes (which I have never claimed to be), or otherwise talking about my recruiting background. I disagreed with your post, but I don't see why you don't choose to defend your stance and explain your logic. I don't make things personal, and I'm always up for a back and forth that brings up points and facts I hadn't considered. That sounded self righteous as hell, but you get what I mean.

Hm, I always seem to get a downvote notification when I get a response from you. Wonder why that is. I mean, it's promising because Littrell and Harrell have done such a good job with Fine, but there's zero indication that the other guys who have never thrown a division one pass would provide tougher competition than UCLA's QBs. And from the standpoint of a recruit, they aren't committing to UCLA because they're scared off by competition from a bunch of G5 signees who have never thrown a division one pass. I think we'll sign a good QB this class, and with no other QB commits, plus a junior QB who will be gone after they redshirt, the situation actually should be in our favor for a high school QB.

Interesting. Thanks! I don't know what to call this, but I see it a lot on here. People think just because they can name players on our roster, that makes our depth chart better and more daunting to incoming recruits than the depth charts on other rosters. It's pretty prevalent on here, but I'm slightly surprised that it even extends to P5 teams like UCLA.

Fine didn't have any other offers. Didn't take good recruiting skills to get Fine to choose us over walkon offers. It did show tremendous evaluating ability and development.

Where do you think we go at QB from here? Keuhne?

I think the coaches are good with the roster as is it's constructed, so I think the spot is not going to go to a player that plays a specific position. I think it's going to either go to a good grad transfer who comes available late, a regular transfer who comes available late and will have to sit out a year, or a high school player who qualifies late or otherwise comes available late. I think they're going to use the scholarship to be opportunistic and get a guy who comes available late when most other schools are out of spots. And could live with giving it to a guy who has to sit out this year. That's the benefit of having a solid roster that you're not still trying to round into form.

I remember a lot of similar comments when Mccarney was here. I'm not going to give any staff a pat on the back for being early on a guy who ends up with multiple P5 offers. If we see a guy who ends up going P5, I sure hope we are good enough at evaluating to recognize that kid is worthy of an offer from a CUSA school. That being said, it does seem like this staff is good enough at evaluating players who are more borderline. They're also starting to actually land some solid prospects, which is the most encouraging.

Avery Fortenberry, Aaron's younger brother, was a part of the 2014 class as a grayshirt. He never played a meaningful snap here, though. And yes, Kirby was a starter whose father passed before his senior season. Kirby came in fall 2012 as a walkon freshman.

What JayD says is more official than anything Vito says or what 247 shows. When it comes to UNT recruiting, that's as official as it gets, outside of coming directly from the recruit.

Jonah Jordan and Brooks Hansen from GoTigers247 are predicting him to Memphis. You can click on the predictions and see who is making the predictions, when they made it, and how accurate they have been with their picks from each recruiting class. And Jordan only hit on 52.63% of his predictions last class, and Hansen was 3/4 last class, so I wouldn't take it as gospel but it looks like they predicted him to Memphis on the same day, so they likely got some good info then that led them to think he's going there. We'll see.
