He said that he would like to coach and get into recruiting.

Howe's Collin card Mangrum ready to sign letter of intent with North Texas By Bill Spinks Herald Democrat HOWE - For two seasons, Collin Mangrum played literally in the shadow of a 6-foot-9 teammate who drew a lot of attention from college recruits. Little did Mangrum know he was getting his own positive evaluation all along. While scouting Howe (and future North Texas) center Justin Howerton, the UNT coaching staff became interested in the Bulldogs' swing man early. “Somebody told me when I was a sophomore they saw me working out after practice, and they decided to keep an eye on me from there and see how things turned out,” Mangrum said. Things did indeed turn out. Mangrum will sign a national letter of intent with the Mean Green on Wednesday, the opening day of the NCAA's early signing period. Next fall, he will team up once again with Howerton in Denton. “That's one of the main reasons I went down there,” Mangrum said. “So I can reunite with him and play with him one more time. I'm looking forward to it.” Howe coach Tim Rose said it's rare at the Class 2A level to have two Division I signees. “We're just very fortunate to have Collin,” Rose said. “He's a very special player. He's worked hard to get himself where he is now. He's the hardest-working kid I've ever had in 26 years (of coaching.) His work ethic is what sets him apart.” The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Mangrum committed to the Mean Green on May 27, choosing UNT over a list of colleges including TCU, SMU, Tulsa and Baylor. He took his official visit to the campus last weekend. He averaged 15.6 points, seven rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last winter. He raised his scoring average to 22 points per game during Howe's postseason advance to the Class 2A state tournament. On the state's biggest stage, Mangrum scored 32 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in a semifinal loss to Jim Ned at the Erwin Center. “That game wasn't a good game for anybody,” he said. “It could've been anybody that day. It just so happened I was able to get some shots off, and they fell early. They were triple-teaming Howerton, and you can't go to him when he's being triple-teamed. That opened me up.” At the end of last season, Mangrum was named to both the Class 2A All-State and All-State Tournament teams by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches. This fall, he is a preseason second-team All-State selection (in all classifications) by Texas Basketball magazine. He was ranked as the No. 38 recruit in the state by Texas Hoops. Mangrum missed most of last spring's AAU action while healing a stress fracture, but returned in the summer and played for the Dallas Mustangs, a team featuring some of the area's top players. Summer AAU basketball is a level higher than typical Class 2A ball. Basketball in Division I, even in the mid-major ranks, is a whole level higher still. “The speed of the game is so much different,” Mangrum said, “but hopefully I'll get accustomed to that by going down there and playing with the guys, and getting in the same type of shape they are. It's a different shape. In 2A you can be in great shape, but in Division I you'd be in horrible shape.” Mangrum will probably play as a shooting guard at UNT, which finished 14-14 last season and enters its fifth year under head coach Johnny Jones. Rose said he thinks Mangrum has a chance to develop into a solid player at the collegiate level. “He's big, he's strong, and he's pretty quick,” Rose said. “He can elevate on his jump shots, so I anticipate him (eventually) getting to play.” Besides Mangrum, the only other recruits to have verbaled to UNT are a pair of JUCO players from Mineral Area (Mo.) Community College: Jonathan Jackson, a 6-foot-8 forward from Portland, Ore.; and Curtis Mjuse, a 6-10 center out of Vashon High in St. Louis. Mineral finished 21-10 last season and was ranked No. 19 in the preseason NJCAA Division I poll.

Howe's Mangrum will sign with North Texas By Herald Democrat Howe senior Collin Mangrum will sign a letter of intent to play basketball for the University of North Texas on Nov. 9, joining former high school teammate Justin Howerton on the Mean Green roster. The 6-5 guard/forward, who picked UNT over TCU, SMU, Baylor, Tulsa and Stephen F. Austin, averaged 15.6 points per game last season and helped lead Howe to the 2A state semifinals, where he was named to the all-tournament team. Mangrum was also a Texas Association of Basketball Coaches all-state selection and an All-District 13-2A selection. UNT went 14-14 last season and lost to Arkansas State in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

I have been working out of town and don't know much about the game other than we lost. My question is:what, if anything, did NT do to honor Coach Fry at the game? Was there some sort of presentation at halftime? How many former players were there?

Hopefully RV will let Coach Fry speak to the team before the game. Fry had those teams back in the '70's believe they could play with anybody!

Return to old stomping grounds Ex-UNT assistant is back in Denton as Tulsa's head coach. Bill Spinks Herald Democrat DENTON — Darrell Dickey and Steve Kragthorpe never crossed paths while at North Texas, but for Kragthorpe and two of his Tulsa assistants, Saturday will be a homecoming of sorts. Kragthorpe was an assistant coach at UNT for two seasons (1994-95) before leaving and eventually taking the head coach position at Tulsa in 2003. Also on the current Golden Hurricane staff are a pair of former Mean Green assistants, wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator Bob Schultz and offensive line coach Spencer Leftwich. Now in his third year at the school, Kragthorpe will lead the Hurricane into Saturday's non-conference contest at Fouts Field. "That was a great experience," Kragthorpe said Monday from Tulsa of his time with the Mean Green. "Our youngest son, Nick, who turns 11 on Wednesday, was born while we lived in Denton. So we have a lot of fond memories there. Denton is one of my wife's favorite places that we have lived. There are a lot of great people there and I look back on those times as fun times in my coaching career." The Mean Green won the Southland Conference championship in 1994, UNT's final season in Division I-AA. The team was 2-9 the following season against an independent I-A schedule, but did upset Oregon State at Fouts Field that year, 30-27. Leftwich, who left UNT in 2003 to rejoin Kragthorpe, spent nine seasons in Denton and helped produce Ja'Quay Wilburn, who (for now) is UNT's all-time leading rusher. He also recruited Patrick Cobbs, the 2003 national rushing champion, who is threatening Wilburn's school mark. Dickey, who arrived in Denton in 1998, has kept up with Kragthorpe's success. "Steve's an excellent head coach," Dickey said. "They recruit heavily down here, and we run into them a lot. There's always some good-natured kidding. Some of our assistants are still close with Spencer. There are a lot of friendships, but for three and a half to four hours, we're going to try to whip each other. There is a football game, and this is a business." For the first time in a while — in fact, since the Mean Green rejoined Division I-A in 1995 — North Texas has two relatively high-profile opponents on its home schedule. The Mean Green will play their home opener against Tulsa, and then will entertain fellow Sun Belt Conference foe Troy in a Tuesday night special that will be televised live nationally by ESPN2. "We want to start getting bigger crowds at Fouts Field, and attract more opponents that might be favorable to watch," Dickey said. "But it's also important to play well and try to get as many wins as you can." Seven players from the state of Oklahoma are on UNT's roster, including Cobbs, a native of Tecumseh. "Me being from Oklahoma, I'm looking forward for them coming here and playing," Cobbs said. The good news for UNT is on the injury front. Most years, the Mean Green lineup has been decimated by a brutal money-game schedule. But, with the Louisiana State contest rescheduled for Oct. 29 and with the players emerging none the worse for wear after last week's 14-7 victory over Middle Tennessee, all hands will be available to take on Tulsa. Junior defensive lineman Sky Pruitt, who has been battling a shoulder injury, played last week. Defensive back Gary Oubre, who did not travel to Murfreesboro last week, will play Saturday. "We just didn't get anything major in Game 1," Dickey said. "That's more luck than anything. There were some serious collisions and obviously our guys are beat up and sore, but that's what happens in football. There's nothing serious I know of that will keep anyone out Saturday."

"UNT signed a contract that guaranteed a $500,000 payout to play at LSU, a total that represents a significant amount of the athletic department’s budget. The department worked with a $12.2 million dollar budget during the 2005 fiscal year that ends today. " After travel expenses, how much of that $500,000 is left over? It would seem to cost quite a bit of money to fly, feed, and house a football team plus all the coaches, trainers, equipment managers, etc.

AFL2 Bowl, Andy is playing center and noseguard.

Where is the Hooters in Denton?

Gainesville beat Scott's Valley Ca last night 33-0. I know for sure NT is looking at our starting DT Clint Stoffles. In the first half last night he had 9 tackles and 5 were for losses, he missed most the second half with a rolled ankle but nothing serious. ←

That was the same game where J.T. Smith took an interception back 99 yards. Looking back, that was a helluva game!

We were playing La Tech in Shreveport when Coach Fry called for an onside kick. The play was for Khoury to just dribble it straight off the tee for 10 yards and then to cover it himself. It worked perfectly but in the mad scramble for the ball, Khoury was knocked out cold. Luckily it didn't affect the outcome of the game and I don't remember Fry ever calling for that play again.

Got mine this morning, great pics and articles.

Bridgeport's Daugherty leaving Tech By Troy Phillips Star-Telegram Staff Writer Texas Tech third-string quarterback Phillip Daugherty, a sophomore from Bridgeport, has decided to transfer to an NCAA Division I program outside the state, Bridgeport High coach Danny Henson said. Henson said Daugherty, who threw for a Class 3A-record 10,136 career yards in high school, has met with Tech coach Mike Leach and ironed out all the details of his transfer. Leach was expected to address Daugherty’s departure after Tech’s workout ended Monday evening, a university media-relations official said. Daugherty arrived at Tech as heralded true freshman in 2003 but redshirted that season. Because of that, he will lose a season of eligibility when he transfers but will have two seasons remaining. Last spring, Daugherty battled Harrell and fifth-year senior Cody Hodges to get a leg up on Tech’s starting job. Leach isn’t expected to name a starter until later this week or next week. So far, Harrell and Hodges have shared an equal number of plays in fall camp, and Leach has said both are running even right now. Daugherty has had no work with Tech’s first team. He had a chance to move up when Harrell suffered a non-football ankle injury in the spring, but Harrell has since caught up and passed him in the coaches’ eyes. ``Phillip just doesn’t have a place there,’’ Henson said. ``I think Tech would love for Hodges to have great year and let Graham be his understudy. Then they’ll have a quarterback who will be there a while and not just one year. Graham is the one they’ve got tagged to be their future.’’ Henson said he’s made calls to colleges outside Texas and outside the Big 12 on Daugherty’s behalf but wouldn’t say which ones. He said Leach is helping Daugherty all he can, but Tech won’t release him to transfer to a school in Texas, in the conference or to a school on the Raiders’ future schedules.

I believe they are basically the selection committee.

From TexasFootball.com: Bobby Davis, who has been the head coach at Wolfforth Frenship for the last 23 years, will be the football coach for the North. Davis' teams have made the playoffs 12 times in the last 23 years, including a semi-final appearance in 2000 and a quarterfinal appearance in 2001. San Antonio native Lee Bridges from Taft High School will be the coach for the South squad. Since arriving at Taft in 2000, his teams have made the playoffs four out of five seasons, with a trip to the 5A Division I Texas Bowl against Mesquite in 2001.

We lost to TVJC, not sure about the other 2 games.

as a junior he was listed at 6'2", 210 lbs. Can't find listings for him last year.

May be a good chance to see Meager, Mills, Ieans, or whoever looks at QB.
