GMG24

Mega Camp is in reference to the Number of Colleges represented not necessarily what colleges are present. As for who is showing up, it is 100% ok with me. Last year we had OU, Oregon, Rice and us. The kids who showed up at camp for OU or Oregon were likely encouraged to attend the camp so a coach could further evaluate them before offering. The kids who showed up for those schools lets be honest we have no shot at anyway. I wish people realized how far behind we are facilities wise even with most G5 programs. There are so many schools who have more to sell as a program than we do currently. Yes we are upgrading but those aren't done yet and it is a crutch. Is that the sole factor for why a kid goes somewhere? No, absolutely not BUT you are a 17/18 year old kid and you go from one campus who has facilities and support then you go to UNT where "It is being built" but you can't physically walk through it see it and be impressed its a hard sell. I am the first one who thinks we need to be better at recruiting, but the fact that a high 3 star multiple offers I think over 13 now, kid has committed here even if it is "for now" shows that they are putting in the work. I am ok with going after guys like Preston from Argyle who we probably don't have a snowballs chance in hell to land. BC for so long I have complained about not offering high profile guys locally and trying like crazy to land them. At some point it would be nice if that recruit would tell us hey thanks, but I am looking elsewhere. At that time we better have some other offers out to guys who can ball and not looking at our 6/7th ranked OL to replace him.

Some people just wish they knew more than they did. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Last year Rice, OU, and another big time school we couldn't compete with for recruits. I have no problem with this. Also, I am not a fan of mega camps kids get lost in numbers (except the ones your school wants to see) they have certain numbers and already know who they're looking for.

He just posted about his visit and it looked like a nice place to spend 4-5 years for sure. Can't be mad at him.

Slot guy for UNT? I won't lie haven't peeped his tape

McNeese impressed me most of all FCS schools this past cycle. Followed closely by Northwestern State. Both do a great job identifying talent. Did he have offers from any of those schools?

Disagree.

Unfortunately in this day and age, any attention they get they LOVE. Even if it simple mailers they get from programs.

Yah.. it's called evolving in recruiting game. I like it

BOOM!!!

🤔

Lane called plays last year, and will again this year. He brought Briles in solely to learn the tempo side of the Baylor offense along with some passing game schemes. He had run game side of it covered and you saw that in plenty of their games, that wasn't the Baylor run game schemes FAU ran. An excellent collaboration between two very good offensive coaches (literally and figuratively).

I'll agree to that point.

Good lord!!!! Guys, let's all just support the university and quit worrying about who got what, when, where. Donate because you want to, don't because you don't. But damn this silliness has to stop. We've got like 1,500 donors out of 300+ THOUSAND alum.... if 250,000 of our alum gave 25 bucks a year, that's 6.25 mil a year extra revenue... 25 freaking bucks

For the life of me, I can't believe we didn't let Fine pull it more often... several times I think he doesn't stop until he bangs his head on the goal post. Hopefully we add that wrinkle this year.

If you are able to, slow it down or pause as play develops, we have a hat for a hat and you can't ask for more than that from an OC standpoint. We saw something we liked about QB run game around the goal line that game bc we did it several times.

No doubt that with more $$ comes higher expectations, however I would hate that we didn't land a kid because we couldn't do ______ or we had to limit what we did for them on their OV's because we had to stretch ______$ amount out over all the kids instead of feeling better about not holding back and going all out to make a kid/ their family feel at home.

Yes we do. The mail you see kids posting about all the time, the stuff the big schools pump out in large volumes and mail out to who knows how many prospects. When you see kids getting 5/6 letters or more from a school think about that. The cost of envelope, materials, postage, wages for whoever is working on it. Coaches hotel rooms, gas, rentals, flights, meals. Hosting Official Visitors and their travel, hotels, food, etc. I am not sure how they break down all the stuff as far as the edits etc, that are made and sent out on social media (most recent is the billboard with the kids on it).

Curious to hear what people think goes into these Recruiting Expenses.

What team have we played in the postseason that we should have beat? How can you assert he isn't a "big" game coach when he was coaching with an FCS roster in his first year? I agree we've got to be better in those games, however we lost to FAU who has a loaded roster one I can only hope we can get one day, and Troy who beat LSU in LSU.

No I didn't. But, I did ask a question.

What are your top 3 constructive critiques of Littrell?

Did not have the guys to do so. The end of the day it's johnnys and joes.... teams who beat us had better johnnys and joes

Come on now, you know what I was trying to say. If guys have size on them and move well they're getting snatched up by blue blood programs whether they can play or not. We're going to have to do 1/2 things. 1. Win with undersized under recruited guys consistently enough to convince the bigger time guys this is a place they can come win and be seen, or 2. Hit on some evaluations and projections with longer/leaner guys who need to develop physically and skills. That is if we want HS DL.

Under McCarney they stayed at Tx Motor Speedway which never made a ton of sense to me.
