I see. Understood and I agrre!

You left off texas with 7, tcu with 8, a&m I think has 13. Point is, it's great for all of the mentioned schools to be doing great on the recruiting trail but it's too early to look at class size as an indication of recruiting success. Other than UH, most will not make a bowl. We've been adding really good late 2016 recruits so it's not like the staff is doing nothing. They just want to win now to attract better hs recruits. I'm not worried.

It's poor journalism.

It's a necessary move from the coaching staff. Plus it he becomes a hit and choses to come here it works out in our favor. If he comes here regardless of whether or not he's a hit, it might open up a pipeline to other liberty prospects. If he does come here though and does become a big prospect, can we be found guilty of anything illegal regarding recruiting since his grandfather donates to the athletic department and school?

Agree completely. We're focusing on the wrong issue.

It might be a result of higher standards to qualify. It's a nationally accredited program and, as of a couple years ago, the only such program in Texas. That alone calls for higher standards.

I think this speaks more to Dillman and Chumley's characters than anything else. The goal is probably to give chumley a fair shot and if it doesn't work out, give him the opportunity to change positions or stay burried on the depth chart. Dillman doesn't need to be the star he just wants to play.

Had we just made one free throw with 20 seconds left...

I think their egos will make this happen as well but if the reasoning is that they think Morris has them on the upswing and they lose to us this year, those plans might be postponed a bit. If they lose to UNT on year two of the Morris era they are looking at another 2-10 season and Morris is on the hot seat heading into year 3. More important things at that point than canceling the series.

This year's game might have a huge impact on the series. If we win, then the schedule against a lowly unt would be a game against a better program for them. If they smack us around again, it'll be canceled as all of you expect.

Gotcha. That's a pretty far drive from McKinney to ESD unless he moved closer to the area. That might change things a bit if he didn't grow up in the private school environment.

TCU is 40 miles from UNT and they are maybe 10 to 15 miles from Arlington. They would essentially get an extra home game. Baylor is 123 miles from UNT (100 miles to Arlington if we did this at Jerry World) than UT is from Houston (161 miles). OU is 143 miles from UNT. We have 3 top 25 programs closer to us than UT is to Houston who it might actually be beneficial for to play at AT&T against UNT. They would be able to label them as neutral site games and not count in their slate of home games although they would be really close to home - almost close enough to be considered home games for TCU and Baylor. Look at A$M's scheduling last year: Sat, Sept 5 vs #15 Arizona State* W 38-17 1-0 (0-0) Sat, Sept 12 vs Ball State W 56-23 2-0 (0-0) Sat, Sept 19 vs Nevada W 44-27 3-0 (0-0) Sat, Sept 26 vs Arkansas* W 28-21 OT 4-0 (1-0) Sat, Oct 3 vs #21 Miss St W 30-17 5-0 (2-0) Sat, Oct 17 vs #10 Alabama L 41-23 5-1 (2-1) Sat, Oct 24 @ #24 Ole Miss L 23-3 5-2 (2-2) Sat, Oct 31 vs South Carolina W 35-28 6-2 (3-2) Sat, Nov 7 vs Auburn L 26-10 6-3 (3-3) Sat, Nov 14 vs W Carolina W 41-17 7-3 (3-3) Sat, Nov 21 @ Vanderbilt W 25-0 8-3 (4-3) Sat, Nov 28 @ LSU L 19-7 8-4 (4-4) FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE MUSIC CITY BOWL Wed, Dec 30 vs Louisville* L 27-21 8-5 (4-4) * Game played at neutral location. SPONSORED HEADLINES 3 away games all year with two "neutral site" games, one (against Arizona ST.) played at NRG Stadium in Houston (pretty close to Aggie Land) and the other against Arkansas in Arlington. I'm pretty confident we could get at least TCU and Baylor in Arlington as neutral site games and it could work in everybody's favor.

What's the likelihood of a private school kid going to UNT for football? Unless we post an above average 2016 season, I can't imagine us getting many of these kids this time around. Sort of like the Southlake kid who turned down a scholarship offer to UNT to be a regular student at A$M several years ago.

This is worrisome to me. Littrell offered a lot of pwo's this past recruiting season. Hopefully he doesn't intend to turn too many of those guys into scholarship guys unless they are performing at a high level. And if he does offer them scholarships within the next 2 years, that would only keep hurting our recruiting classes moving forward. Thoughts?

Fonzale Davis is no longer here, Caleb Chumley had offers but not necessarily for what we recruited him as (TE vs QB), Connor Means is a huge question mark. A few skill players to look forward to, though: Tee Goree, Willy Ivery, Jeffery Wilson. Josh Greer had 3 offers but he's no longer here. I feel like several other players from that class are gone. That, or they just have not gotten playing time.

No. We lost more games that we should have won than we won games that we should have lost. Now depending on how we finish the season, that might change but as it it, no. Let's see if benford can lead us to a little run here.

Does Chumley have the speed to be a WR? For some reason I thought he was reported as having a pretty good 40 time out of high school. Have him shed some weight if needed and he could be an incredible big body end zone target with the proper coaching and experience. Other than him, Dillman should be given a shot at QB considering where he was his JR year. It only seems right. Who knows, maybe he ends up living up to his JR year hype and ends up the starter this year or in 2017. Only gives Fine or whoever else comes in more time to grow. I could also see Chumley as a FB or DE but I really don't know what to do with Dillman if he's not at TE or QB.

Probably but it will only matter if Littrell doesn't go bowling with his own players. If he goes with both mac's and his within the next 5 or so years, we might not have him for much longer after that.

I believe it but it's unfortunate that it happens. You shouldn't live your life based on what others say. When you do, it stops being your life.

Love the optimisim but unless he's just that incredible, I hope he doesn't start this year unless we have an injury riddled season because that will mean Morris and Smith will have been complete failures and we would be in for another horrendous year.

Feel like we would be better off not offering next year unless he's much improved. He would already be 20 years old as a freshman. Plus, if he really wanted to be here, he would have signed yesterday. I don't want to be a fall back plan anymore unless the talent is incredible and it's clear he was not sold on unt.

Pshh let him decommit. This is ridiculous. If you can't understand sarcasm then I'm sorry but everything was said in a joking manner. If this comment board is what he will base his decision on regarding where he will spend the next 4 to 6 years of his life then so be it. Welcome to the adult world. It's a going to be a bumpy ride if you let these kinds of comments dictate such a huge decision in your life. Congrats on going to Stanford to study electrical engineering. Unfortunately, that won't be enough to get you through life if you're that sensitive and insecure.

If we need a return man with Tre Johnson gone, you'll see Tyler Wilson on the field maybe from day 1.

If he gets it at the start of the fall semester, it will count towards next year if I'm not mistaken. This what everybody was saying would happen for Fine making him a "blueshirt" player. I guess it would depend on when he earns the scholafship.

Sure hope so. Glad Johnson is in but I was hoping for some movement/surprises throughout the day. Guess things can still happen so let's see...
