Then they need to get their money back from the photographer, that's awful.

When was baby blue introduced into UNT’s color scheme?

Are the long sleeve GMG shirts that the coaching staff is wearing available for purchase anywhere?

I am sure your articles are great. I'll trust my word of mouth from 20 or so former players, recruits and high school coaches that have dealt with him.

Kelly Kraft and Colt Knost both heavily considered UNT and were playing TJGT their junior and senior years. Snyman is a nice player but didn't come close to having the college career that either of those guys had. He has a LONG way to go to even come close to having the professional career that either of those guys have had. Stracke in the decade he's been here not recruited one local kid out of high school that made a difference.

Recent Texan USGA Amateur and Junior Amateur Champions Junior Am 2017 Noah Goodwin- TJGT Alum 2014 Will Zalatoris- TJGT Alum 2013 Scottie Schefler- TJGT Alum 2011 - Jordan Speith- TJGT Alum 2009- Jordan Spetih- TJGT Alum 2007- Cory Whitsett- TJGT Alum US AM 2011- Kelly Kraft- TJGT Alum 2007- Colt Knost- TJGT Alum Nah top level Texans don't play TJ events. UNT should look for better players than this.

What tour is exactly 3 levels above TJGT?????? Please enlighten me, which high level Texas kids aren't playing TJ's? Noah Goodwin (#1 Junior in the world coming out out high school) is a TJGT alum and joined SMU's team at semester. Jordan Speith, Patrick Reed, Kelly Kraft, Martin Piller, Bronson Burgoon, Stacy Lewis, all TJGT alum. Ya you're right, no good Texan golfers juniors play in TJ's. The Legends tour events and TJGT majors are only a small step down from AJGA. I can't wait to hear about this tour 3 steps above.

Lol ok, bro. Next time you are at an AJGA or TJGT tournament, ask a a top level Texas kid about UNT golf.

Read the article Ace. Snyman played three seasons for UNT but will not return for his senior year with the Mean Green due to an NCAA rule that prohibits international students from delaying enrolling in college without losing eligibility. Snyman enrolled a semester after he could have begun college at UNT.

If that is the type of person you want representing your university and turning boys into men then SMH And those internationals are just awesome. A kid from Flower Mound wouldn't have these issues. https://www.dentonrc.com/sports/snyman-named-c-usa-golfer-of-the-year/article_9fa86a3b-5f4e-562c-a4a4-0f393b9b6c23.html

Not true. I know of multiple golfers who were interested in UNT and ended up at Big 12, AAC, and other upper echelon conferences because of the way Stracke treated them when they expressed interest.

He's about as likeable and personable as a brick wall. Word travels fast with DFW kids.

Hedlund uses his connections as a high school club coach to develop those relationships and he recruits DFW very well. Ask any UNT golfer past or present that has played for him what they think about him and you are going to get pretty much the same answer. It's why his reputation is what it is in Texas (Texas kids talk to each other) and why he has to scour the corners of the earth to get golfers. DFW has the best high school golf in the country and it's just foolish that UNT doesn't use it to their advantage.

Texas A&M University ranked #2 in the country, spent most of the year ranked #1. Zero international players and 4 out of their top 5 are from TEXAS. University of Texas, 2nd place finish at the Big 12. Zero international players and 2 players from DFW in their top 5. Baylor, ranked #10 in the country and their coach has 3 national titles on his resume. 100% of his players are from TEXAS! McGraw is a former high school coach and understands the importance of having good relationships with high school programs (........e does not) SMU finished 2nd in the AAC with Zero international players. They brought in the #1 player in the country at semester from and he is from CORINTH TEXAS. 2 of their top 5 are from DFW. UTA finished 2nd in stroke play at the Sun Belt Tournament. All the top 5 are from Texas, 2 of those 5 are from DFW. UNT has zero DFW players in their top 5...... While ......e has had good international players, you can hit a 6 iron from UNT in any direction and find better local players but his reputation and the way he has treated local players/ hs coaches keeps him from getting those players.

The best junior/ high school golf in the country is played in DFW and he can't land any of those kids....... not a coincidence ...............e

Can you expand on how a course 4 hours from Denton is a home course advantage ...........e

Home course advantage? There isn't a single course in DFW that comes close to Texarkana CC. La Tech is way closer to TCC than UNT. You must not be real close to the golf program if you have not heard that players on the team can't stand Strack......e

He has been terrible at recruiting and his treatment of local players. Texas kids talk. Why he has to go to far away outpost to get golfers.

Stracke has a terrible reputation with Texas high school golfers. DFW is loaded with talent and produces the best players in the country. Pretty ridiculous Strack.......e has to rely on international players to fill out a team while you can go 30 minutes in any direction from UNT and find outstanding golfers.

Administrators say the pool of qualified candidates for head coaches, many of whom are also the athletic coordinators at their campuses, is smaller than the pool of qualified teachers. That drives up the cost for top talent. “Right now, if I need a third-grade teacher, if I go to HR, I probably have 400 applications on file for people who want to be a third-grade teacher,” said superintendent Tom Leonard of the Eanes school district, where Austin Westlake coach Todd Dodge earns $131,600. “And I’m not against third-grade teachers. I want to go on record and say that we need to pay teachers more money throughout the state of Texas. But if I need a principal or an AD, my numbers go down significantly, because there’s just not as many people in that pool.” Dodge is one of 28 coaches in the state who earns more than $120,000 and one of five who earns $130,000 or more. He won four state titles at Southlake Carroll from 2002-06, leading the Dragons to a 79-1 record.
