The only thing I'm hung up with on private school kids is that the ones from the schools like Dunne, Lynch, Prestonwood, etc all have just as much exposure to colleges as metroplex powers do. Not only that, but their parents are usually well off enough, demographically speaking, to afford to send them to a lot of camps, combines, unnoficial visits, etc. So most of the time you're not going to get them without having to beat out other schools. Something we haven't done well lately. But there are plenty of players we should go after from private schools. Also, a lot of those kids could walkon at UNT and their parents would be paying less for college than they did for high school. Bottom line, doesn't matter where you focus your recruiting in Texas, you have to be able to out-recruit other schools

Sounds like he's going back to Cisco this year. Like I said, he doesn't have to but either we don't have a spot for him, we don't know if we want him yet, or he wants to go back to get recruited more. Still a guy to keep an eye on, but it sounds like there isn't really a chance we'll add him in time for the 2015 season. Maybe that changes with Dajon gone.

Do those three posts count your post with the correction? ? Just having a little fun

Committed to Indiana.

We started in 1913. If you include that season, 2012 would've been the 100th season with 2013 being the 100-year anniversary. 3-year hiatus means 3 years later until our 100th season, which is now (2015).

6'1" 189 lb running back from Southwest high school in San Antonio. We have offered and he has committed. Also offered by Colorado State. Highlights: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3898091/tyrone-middleton http://247sports.com/Player/Tyrone-Middleton-84102

Nice! It should be fun to see how this kid can do with a season of being the main guy at running back. I know I make a big deal about offer lists, but this is the type of kid I'm okay with not having much of an offer list. Relatively new to organized football, had a really good back in front of him, and had a bit of an injury problem. Good combination of size and speed.

1 & 2 I disagree with, because I created this thread with the intention of it being opinionated and discussion based. Opinions based on facts, but still my opinions hoping to facilitate some of others, and converse a little bit. As far as making a thread just to list all of our offers, I've definitely tinkered with that idea. Honestly the amount of work that would take does not appeal to me right now, lol. If someone else wants to do that then I'd be more than willing to help, though. I just think the threads are all we really need. If a thread is being bumped then we'll get to see who is worth paying attention to, for our sake. As for 3, absolutely. I probably would've done it last year had I been able to like I can now. That's how everyone else does it, and for good reason. Also makes for a pleasant surprise for people catching back up, and seeing a thread with "UNT commit" next to it. Definitely not putting "closed" next to a kid's thread because it's 2015 and kids commit earlier each year, thus making for more kids changing their minds and decommititing each year. But putting "committed" is definitely a good idea.

Vito had an article last night talking about expecting us to wait until the end of the cycle to get most of our top signees. I said the same thing earlier yesterday, but I don't think that's necessarily a good thing. I think it's a sign of our inability to win many head-to-head recruiting battles. Louisiana Lafayette isn't waiting until the end to see who is falling through the cracks. A guy like this Austin Davis kid would be a class headliner for us, with multiple P5 offers. The guys Vito mentioned as being some top signees we got late were Kevin Dillman and D'Aundrey Bradley. No one else was actively offering and recruiting Dillman, and Bradley was a kid from Cedar Hill who we only had to beat out New Mexico State and New Mexico for. We're going to have to win more recruiting battles against better quality programs if we're going to have more success in this conference. Regardless of when those signees commit.

As of this morning I've finally caught up on all our offers listed and publicized. June is the last month you really see offers coming out frequently. For the rest of the summer and into football season the offers will start coming out a lot slower, especially until the season ends. So here are some thoughts: 1. No commitments yet If we don't have a commitment in the next 3 days then it will be the latest into the process until we've received our first commitment since Mccarney has been here (excluding 2011 class when he arrived with just a few months until signing day). For the class of 2012 Rex Rollins committed on June 15th 2011, and since then we've received our first commitment earlier than the prior year every year since, with Rodney Bendy committing in early May last year. That streak will end, and it's doesn't like we're all that close to a commitment, but hard to really know. 2. No QB offers yet Easton Underwood reported an offer from us a while back but the legitimacy of the offer was somewhat in question, and even more so was the idea that we would recruit him hard. It doesn't seem like we are, and we haven't offered anyone else. Not having offered a QB by now tells me Coach Mccarney most likely doesn't plan on taking a high school QB this class. I think that's a really bad mistake, especially when you consider the young QBs on this roster. Dajon is gone, Means hasn't proven anything and was not good in high school, and Chumley just doesn't look like a QB, and Kevin Dillman apparently will not be given a shot at QB. We've taken JUCO QBs 4 out of 5 recruiting classes under Mccarney. There is still time to offer a high school QB, but it just doesn't look like we're taking the necessary measures to prevent that in future years. 3. Way too many offers to guys we have no shot at Offering guys who are big-time prospects is not a bad thing. It only becomes a bad thing when too high a percentage of our overall offers are to guys like that, which is the case. Kevin Dillman had about 18 FBS offers, but those other schools weren't actively recruiting him when he committed to us. They all came as a QB prospect before he committed to Nebraska last April. Creighton Barr had 6 FBS offers last year, none of which were from P5 schools, and that was the most out of our other signees. The vast majority of our 2016 offers so far, at least for the high school kids, have at least that many. Unless we start recruiting much better, we aren't going to be able to get very many of these kids. 4. I could see a lot of action after our season ends Last year was interesting because we had a lot of decommitments (even a few recommitments) and signed 15 kids who didn't commit until the last month and a half before signing day. I wouldn't be surprised to see us go old school and wait to lock up a large chunk of our class after our season ends. I could also see us going JUCO heavy then if a lot of these current JUCO guys pan out to at least some degree. It wasn't Coach Mccarney's plan when he got here, but that should be worth watching.
