Crap

[NT03]

Really wanted this guy

[UNT90]

I would not call USF a "bigger program."

Agree. We should be winning some of these recruiting battles.

That's tough. I'm still hoping for a starting lineup of Harris at slot and Goree and Kidsy outside. I think Baxter would've played and probably been in that top 4. Depth at WR hasn't been great under Mccarney. I don't think we've ever had more than 3 legitimate CUSA (or Sunbelt) level starting receivers. Hopefully Rutherford or Smiley can provide solid depth. I still wouldn't be surprised to see us get another JUCO receiver. It's pretty 50/50 at this point, IMO.

To be honest, this may be a situation where our bad season hurt us immediately in recruiting. Brett's right about how high he seemed on us for so long.

Exactly what I was thinking.. The So Miss loss hurt in so many ways.. Kicked us out of bowl contention & possible recruits. There is no way we lose to UTSA if we are going down there sitting on 5 wins

Yup. Southern miss was probably our biggest recruiting weekend of the year. Not to mention Baxter visited for the FIU game, where we threw the ball, iirc, 4 times in the second half. That's not a very comforting sight to see as a receiver recruit who only has two more years of eligibility to play.

Knowing that MiniMac is going to be your QB 1 of those 2 yrs can't help either

Sadly , about 99% of the world outside of The UNT fanbase would probably disagree with you there... Amazing considering USF didn't even have a football program while I was in HS

They had there moment in the sun, but have been terrible this year. They barely beat the worst team in FBS (SMU), 14-13. I can't imagine Baxter saw anything better offensively on his trip to USF than he did at UNT.

USF had the same record as us. Other than the SMU win, they beat a terrible UConn 17-14, FCS Western Carolina 36-30, and horrible Tulsa 38-30.

Not exactly the USF of old, here.

This. And just watching our offense the last three years...

[UNTLifer]

Love the comments on Vito's blog.

[UNT90]

Mini-Mac will not start next year. He is only starting now because of the failure of the 2 QBs in front of him on the depth chart.

I do wish we would pick an iffensive scheme and stick with it.

[GMG24]

I bet he saw Florida and the gorgeous weather though. That alone would be enough for me. Well, that and those beaches.

So how is he playing for OU right now?

[MeanGreen13]

He decided to walk on at Oklahoma and is a contributor.
