Just saw a tweet from an Alto student(?) that Johnson is de-committing from Tulsa and committing to UNT.  Not sure about the validity but looking through past tweets suggests she's close with Alto.

Never second guess yourself, kid. You'll probably be kicking yourself in a couple of years.

Very impressive. Nice job by Littrell, Perry, and company.

Tulsa is a long ways from home so I hope he keeps that in mind. Tulsa=6 Hours from home, Denton= 3 hours from home. Family sees every game to family sees just a few.

6 hours is not that far. I too feel he is leaning Tulsa.

Also to keep in mind...  every other year, he's going to get a shot for his parents to see not only all 6 of his home games, but 3 (the "all-3-C-USA-TX-teams-AWAY" years), and maybe 4 (LATech) away games.  Lots of opportunities to have his family/friends see him.  VS SMU away & Tulane away.

Still has picture from his Tulsa visit pinned

Looks like his Mom was on that visit. Wonder if she was on the UNT visit. If not then its pretty much a sure bet he is going to Tulsa.

Sometimes these  young men like a place similar in size to home.  Tulsa is a very small school tucked away in Tulsa, OK.  UNT, on the other hand, is one of the largest schools in the state, the largest employer in Denton, close to all the opportunities a metropolitan market can offer.  Sometimes staying small is what they want and some want the limelight.  Guess we will see which scenario fits Mr. Johnson's style.

Just a note on that...during undergrad I was an Eagle Ambassador (tour guide) and an incredibly common theme was when I would state our student population, people would look surprised and say, "But this feels like a small school!"  So having been on campus, hopefully that won't be a factor for him.

Tulsa is a beautiful campus and has had successful football in the recent past and just went to a bowl game. I think he'll be just fine, I think it's ridiculous to say recruits will regret it if they don't come to your school... Come on.

Good luck at Tulsa. Remember guys these are 17-18 year old kids. Things happen, he could still end up here (English and Morris) one day.

I thought Tulsa might have the advantage with some of these kids from smaller communities.  UNT is a huge campus.  It never felt that way to me, but I grew up in Denton, so I always thought all colleges were like that.  Players like Johnson just might feel more comfortable in a smaller university setting.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Culturally speaking, UNT and Denton just don’t care about the teams here. If people do care, they get made fun of or looked at as if they have 3 heads. But if someone loathes our teams and is a student, professor, administrator, or citizen of Denton, they get all kinds of attention and praise from the others. It’s a town that loves being anti-establishment and going against the grain. And sports are most definitely at the top of the establishment definition to these people.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!
