Just saw his name on the list Harry shared. 

Boy this kid is quick and fast. He'd make a great fit here. He's already a natural at the screen game.

I've seen the offensive assistant coaches have been following him this week. He is now following Morris and English as well so I wouldn't be surprised if he is visiting this weekend. Lots of offers but we should be able to beat out everyone on that list.

Agree, that's a pretty solid offer sheet.  I would hope we made a great impression this weekend and no one else swoops in at the last minute.... we might have a good shot at him.

Nice! Looking at our roster, most of our receivers are outside guys, except Khan who has yet to play a down. Very realistic chance for this kid to get some early PT.

6'1"  add 20lbs nice size! Seth said he wanted players longer! Nice! GMG

Welcome Rico!

 

 

Bussey did what was expected last season, accounting for 1,200 yards despite Lawton Eisenhower turning to the Wildcat formation for four games when quarterback Bentley Bross was injured.

Now Bussey is starting to pick up some college interest with 10 scholarship offers — including Abilene Christian, Air Force, Army, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe and Navy — as he climbs to No. 22 on The Oklahoman’s Super 30.

“I didn’t think I was going to get this much attention,” Bussey said. “I’m just still waiting to see what else I can get. I’ve been talking to some big schools, but I don’t know.”

Bussey said he’s been in contact with Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State and Southern California. He ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at OU’s camp this summer and last year had a vertical jump of 36 inches at TCU’s camp.

Wow, we beat out 8 other FBS schools.  The kid had an 85 (3 star) rating from 247, but only a 79.4 composite (2 star) when combined with the other service.  Still, beating out 8 other FBS schools is nice for a change.

It is. And the thing is, there are plenty of players like this who have good offer lists yet don't have one school on their offer list who we shouldn't beat out regularly. Not one school on that offer list we should struggle against in head-to-head recruiting.

Mccarney brought in a lot of players with good size for their position, offensively. Thing is, no other schools wanted them. Says a lot about a player's ability if he has good size yet still isn't getting offers. We signed those type of players, and they didn't do a thing for us under Mccarney.

We need to start getting players like this who have the size and are still good players. Gotta win recruiting battles. Should have plenty more additions like this to come.

Hey, his coaches talk about him in terms like "smart", "good character".  I like this one.  I just hope we start getting skill players like this in the rotation early on.  It seems like so many receivers and even quarterbacks contribute early for other programs.  Why not North Texas?

The bolded is exactly correct. This kid is a good ad, but is a kid we should win 80% of the time.

Im looking forward to when we actually beat out someone besides Sun Belt teams and service academy teams.

It can be done. We did it in the 2014 class. Can't wait to at least start beating out CUSA teams for recruits.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Yall can lay the blame of this all at the feet of the Pirate. Leach having some success at Texas Tech, at a time when A&M fell apart and Baylor was non-competitive, while nobody else but Texas was a Big 12 school, led to him getting some kind of legendary status. And his influence on TX HS football went off the charts, because it was “more fun for the kids”…and it basically destroyed the development of linemen on both sides of the ball and made defense a part of the game that just needs a stop or two per half. Hell, Art Briles said that out loud. Just get a stop or two. So now, we get the luxury of seeing a short yardage situation have the QB in shotgun, with a running back behind him, all about 4-5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, trying to get a yard. And then the coaches look exasperated when we don’t pick up the first down/TD, as we get tackled behind the line of scrimmage.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      I don't hate baseball, but what I don't like is people who seem to want something for nothing . A dream with out a plan is still just a dream and far I have seen no plan to fund a venue. I went to a health care seminar years ago where a woman who's husband was terminally ill. About 70% of a dying patients hospital bill is generated in the last 24 hours trying to keep them alive. She said that she didn't care what it cost as long as she didn't have to pay for it. Based upon lack of football and basketball support at UNT why would you think that baseball " would lure fans in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and and merchandise. "However in the future, which is now, universities will be forced to look at at profit and loss is the athletic department just like the rest of the universities departments. My definition is revenues less expenses equals profit or loss.Based upon your definition of revenue sports swimming would fall into that category if we charged dollar to attend a meet, passed around a collection plate, and sold swim caps. In summary UNT has only so many beans in the pot and to waste them on a very expense non revenue sport seems ridiculous.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      Ask some of the podcasters, they would say "Oh he has Texas ties", "Look what he did with Cam Ward"

      Honest tactical question here…

      I don't understand the reluctance to incorporate some short-yardage options from under center. You can still be air raid or whatever you want the other 90% of the time. It's so limiting to not have it.
