Then we go back to recruiting kids who have little to no offers.  More people complain and more negative threads.  I agree with Dawn though, got to watch him several times and I have no doubt he can contribute and make plays on a Sun Belt CUSA level team.

Agree with you totally but I think that the Metroplex is so saturated with talent, these guys fall by the wayside. Xavier Scott is a monster and has no offers

I think teams get too caught up in measurables, stars, and rankings. There was a 2016 athlete just today scout raised to a 3 star and get picked up 4 offers the same day. You hear he is not big enough, he is not fast enough. Then they go to a juco, and two years later P5 teams are fighting over them. I believe to be a successful at a school like UNT you have to hit on kids like that. 

Just for instance the guard we had committed last year that ended up going juco and signed with K state at mid semester this year. 

I believ eif you dominate like scott did in 5a texas high school football you should be able to play at the sun belt and c usa levels some where. And it may be grades with him I don't know. 

But there werected 17 fcs players drafted last year. So I know not ever kid that just has fcs offers is not going to be able to contribute.

The thing is, you look at the best teams in our conference like Marshall, La Tech, Southern Miss, and WKU and they're doing it with signing classes filled with players who had 3+ other FBS offers. That being said, they also all have key players who had less than that, and sometimes even no other FBS offers. 

The range I usually say is 1-3 kids per class where we are their only FBS offer is a good number as long as we are in CUSA. Especially as long as you are filling the rest of your class with players with good offer lists. You just really start playing with fire the more prospects like that you get. In 2012 I want to say 13 of the 22 high school kids we signed had 1 or no other FBS offers. And the production from that class has just been terrible, in all honesty. Especially when you look outside Carlos Haris.

The key is that when you get those players it's because you want them and really see something in them. Not because you can't get the kids you actually want because you can't win a recruiting battle.

      What to expect from Odom?

      I would suspect that we've seen the end of the 3-3-5. My guess is that he will go back to the 3-4 we ran through the middle of the season. We have run some 4-2-5 in obvious passing situations. If he is a 4-man front guy, he could use that as a base. I don't really think he will do that. We have to do something to fill more gaps and get a pass rush. You can do either with the fronts we currently have, but in the 3-4 you have to be willing to shade the nose. Caponi absolutely would not do that. We NEVER slid the front or moved the nose off of a zero shade. Brown can be a much bigger factor than he has been. So can our DT's. I just hope we put our kids in a situation where they have a chance. Filling gaps on the LOS from the third level is a good way to give up 500 yards a game. Hopefully we never see that again.

      Usually you’ll have one game during the week and one during the weekend. It’s just how college basketball does things. Our home non-con is atrocious (both teams and dates) but there are some good weekend games in conference.

      Caponi fired

      My guess is that Briles is such an offensive genius and will run the offense that Orr can just come home. But I’d rather have Orr as DC and leave Gary at home.
