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.

      Caponi fired

      Same here. I am tired of trying to convince my group to re-enlist their time and money to football at UNT. On the other hand I have no issues getting excited for basketball. We have a basketball program that is deserving of our support!

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      We have only had 4 coaches [I missed Jack Sisco] since 1913 out of a total of 18 who exited North Texas with winning records, Hayden Fry being the last in 1978. Goals and objectives must be realistic and obtainable with a little pie in the sky. Quite honestly I have no idea what we our standard should be, only what it has become . However, expect more are you will get less ,which seems to be the norm for our football program.

      Caponi fired

      I’ll say this as well - There are people in my group of 20+ season ticket holders that have held them since 2003 questioning if they’ll renew next year because it’s not fun anymore. It feels hopeless after 20+ years. They’re just saying, I’ll keep supporting basketball because at least we have a real program and coaching staff that we can all believe in through wins and losses. No one believes in the football coaching staff - except Patrick Cobbs - who we might as well elevate to HC. He’s the only one that actually produces and legitimately gives a shit about UNT. This program’s situation is dire whether the AD realizes it or not.

      Caponi fired

      I certainly am not making excuses for the termination of Caponi and agree that it was overdue. However I am surprised that our AD and not HC was the one who reportedly pulled the trigger. I owned a medical device sales agency for 30 years and can testify that no one like firing an employee. In fact those who do , unless its a really egregious act, usually wait longer than the should because the real mistake was made by you in hiring them in the first place. Having said that I have never terminated an employ that didn't expect it and in most cases were relieved that the ax finally dropped.
