Dooleysports posted his new edit for about 5 minutes earlier and then took it down. It had the Grambling G and said Grambling State University at the bottom. It has been taken down as it didn't look finished. The helmet was still the Ole Miss one so they may have posted the rough edit too soon.

Agree we have a better option! Hopefully a HS stud!

Why do we assume that we backed away?  Could be he chose not to come here because he wants to play immediately.

i don't think the offer was on the table. 

It doesn't appear that we did.  Good luck to him.

Dammit, they'd better know for sure that they have everything they need locked up...I hate to sound negative with all of the good news that's been coming our way, but it would be just our luck that everybody we had went bust or changed their minds and he ended up being a killer at Grambling.

He had said he would announce together with Bryce English, then he tweeted something about how things change. Could've been either way. You're right not to assume, but it would seem that way. Should work out for both parties

I doubt we offered him and believe it's better for him to get to play two years at Grambling instead of one at UNT. Recruit us a HS QB Seth!!!

I have an inkling his recent foot problems (his Grambling pic had him holding crutches) may have factored in here.

I wish the young man well.  He seems like a quality person with all of the well wishes from the Ol Miss faithful.  I must say that I would have picked 2 years of playing time if I were in his shoes.

Good for you Devante, I may have chose NDSU instead of Grambling. However, like you I hate the cold and would have found the next best thing.  Stay safe and sling the rock! Rooting for you.

Disappointing to hear but something happened if you follow his twitter timeline. I don't want to speculate on what it was. Best of luck to the kid, I was hoping to see him in green but it's over now and now we do whatever it takes to get Starkel in here. He could now star 4 years for us as a red-shirt Fr.

I think it's fairly obvious he wanted to play for 2 yrs instead of sit & have 1 yr.   Good choice, honestly.   He probably wanted to play at the FBS level even if it meant sitting for one of his 2 remaining years of eligibility.   It's likely that he was telling the truth when he was 'talking to his family' and someone convinced him that playing for 2 years was a better option.
Doubtful UNT has anything better "lined up" or rescinded any kind of offer to him.   It's just a better option for him, especially if he wants to play at the next level.

Best of luck to DeVante @ Grambling.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      So if you were AD for a day which P4 regional program could you bring in? Hard to get the big boys in Texas to play in a 30,000 seat road game. SMU and TCU will never play us again and Houston has moved on. Looks like Texas State , Sam Houston, UTEP, New Mexico St.,Ark. St., ULL, and La. Tech are regional programs that might draw more fans than flies so sign them up.

      Caponi fired

      Did he keep him because of lack of $$ to fire him last year? Or was he given another year to add players, make adjustments, etc to see if improvement? I don’t know, but guessing our budget factored into it.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Jeremiah Johnson from La Tech. My #1 choice no to high school DC, they have no clue to the portal and I don’t feel a great source of talent judgement. Carthel I don’t think would come for a coordinator role even for 200k more. He was my choice for HC after SL. if Johnson tells us no, look at the D2 level. D2 coordinators are more aggressive recruiting and better judges of talent. They are constantly trying to sell “snow to eskimos”. Bringing in particular kids from the portal with 1/2 schollys and inadequate facilities filling holes left by transfers etc. They are hustlers AND they won’t be afraid to come in with a hot seat coach, because of the confidence in their own skill . They will be more aggressive, But will adapt to the personnel they have in the cupboard. I’m also not sure we are getting any value from our recruiting gurus and support staff and we may need to revamp in that area for sure. Question our dfw high school coaches and get their recommendations for a DC We can do a little research in the D2 level and save money on a search committee lol
