Not that we could land this kid, but @BillySee58 surely we should be able to pull a few kids from the large private schools around. I know dunno isn't big but always has top end talent, also the LT from desoto that got his first offer from Rice... Why not us? Why not us in on Kyleb Howell... Makes me sick the list could go on and on. 

 

Also, need a QB that's young... Way to let Nick Starkel slide right in front of your nose at Argyle Liberty Chrisitian and he gets no offer. GUH

The only thing I'm hung up with on private school kids is that the ones from the schools like Dunne, Lynch, Prestonwood, etc all have just as much exposure to colleges as metroplex powers do. Not only that, but their parents are usually well off enough, demographically speaking, to afford to send them to a lot of camps, combines, unnoficial visits, etc.

So most of the time you're not going to get them without having to beat out other schools. Something we haven't done well lately. But there are plenty of players we should go after from private schools. Also, a lot of those kids could walkon at UNT and their parents would be paying less for college than they did for high school.

Bottom line, doesn't matter where you focus your recruiting in Texas, you have to be able to out-recruit other schools

The kid has multiple offers, why on Gods green earth should a fan have to email a staff about a kid 15 minutes from their campus? Just curious.

I just looked up Mr Howell and if our staff hasn't dropped an offer on this kid they are about dumb as a box of rocks. 

Not sure that his measurables are accurate on Yahoo, but they have him listed at 6'1" 220 and a 4.58 40 yd. 

He's a 2* that has 4 FBS offers including 3 teams we'll be playing annually in Army and UTEP. If the kid would be happy to come here he's a guy I would be happy to land. He could blow up late and a relatively early offer from us could pay dividends. And there is no way our staff doesn't know about this guy, surely.

I was told by his father that the Defensive coordinator said they liked him and they are going to watch his film a little closer.. he got invited to an invite camp only??? And they said they liked him.  Well if you like him offer GEEZ!!

On that note if I take him to a game this year is that a recruiting violation?

Chances are if they haven't offered yet then they probably won't. Not saying I wouldn't offer or anything. Just saying I wouldn't expect it at this point. Our offers have stopped rolling out that frequently, and that is usually true at this time of the year each year. Especially with a kid they've had plenty of time to evaluate.

As for Coach's question, unless:

A - you're a donor 

and

B - you turn yourself in

there's nothing wrong with taking a kid you know to a game. Especially if they pay for the ticket.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      According to USA Today, McDermott made just over $2.9 million this year. When he signed his extension last year, CBS reported he was amongst the highest paid Big East coaches. https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/mens-basketball/coach/3180 https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/creightons-greg-mcdermott-agrees-to-four-year-deal-making-him-one-of-the-big-easts-highest-paid-coaches/ My favorite part of the CBS article: "It's a notable development because McDermott had been speculated as a candidate for the Ohio State opening, in addition to the looming Louisville vacancy. "There is no place I would rather be for the rest of my career than Creighton," McDermott said in statement."

      Future UNT football OOC games

      Of the future P4 one-for-one series, we get the Home game first with only Washington St. and Missouri. I would not be surprised if Tech, Baylor and Colorado cancelled their return games with us for just the penalty fee and scheduled additional home games to get more revenue for their NIL. We should always try to get the Home game first in those P4 series going forward, if there are any. https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/north-texas/ Future North Texas Non-Conference Opponents 2025 08/30 - Lamar 09/06 - at Western Michigan 09/13 - Washington State 09/27 - South Alabama 2026 09/05 - at Wyoming 09/12 - UNLV 09/19 - at Texas State 09/26 - HCU 2027 09/04 - Tarleton State 09/11 - Texas Tech 09/18 - Wyoming 10/02 - at San Jose State 2028 09/02 - at Baylor 09/09 - Louisiana Tech 2029 09/01 - Baylor 09/08 - North Alabama 09/15 - FIU 2030 08/31 - Texas State 09/07 - at Washington State 09/14 - Missouri 09/21 - at Wyoming 2031 09/13 - at Missouri 09/20 - Western Michigan 2032 09/04 - at Colorado 09/25 - San Jose State 2033 09/03 - Colorado

      Could UNT go undefeated this year in FB?

      That's maybe the weakest schedule we've had in a long time. Could be an "opportunity" year, but I tend to think our new QBs are not going to be as good as the last guy we had. Until the freshman gets his shot...then all bets are off. That kid looks like a firework waiting to go off on tape. I could be wildly off about the Albany/Miami transfer, though. I can't even tell you any of these guy's names off the top of my head without having to look it up...which goes to show, how the heck do you have any semblance of what to expect nowadays with all the roster turnover?!

      It’s the goal every year! Even when we started 5-1!
