Clicked on the other positions.  If these rankings are credible, then UNT could have lots of these guys considering the offers.  It looks like the high end is P5 and the rest are fcs.  Not a lot of G5 intrest in between.

[MCMLXXX]

Perhaps we have a chance at the running back from Lone Grove and lineman from Lawton.

[El Paso Eagle]

Next thing you know they will be calling us The University of Oklahoma at Denton

[Graddean]

According to this source, Bussey is the second best wr in Oklahoma.

[UNT Mean Green]

Nice quote there on Fine:

Quote

We stand by our breakdown and analysis of Locust Grove quarterback Mason Fine. He’s one of the best quarterbacks in the state but colleges aren’t willing to take the risk on him because of his size. He’s the owner of every passing record in state history and dominated the air over the last three seasons. However, standing only 5’10 and having a thin frame has labeled Fine as undersized.

Also Bussey being the best "home run hitter" on the board.

I do like that we are going heavy in recruiting Oklahoma now. We are 30 minutes from the border and there is lots of talent with only 2 P5s and 1 G5 as competition. Compared to Texas or even just DFW alone where there's 1 P5 and 1 G5 school to compete with.

I like how they are going into OK to get some of these guys, I think this will help us next year, recruiting-wise. The staff you would have think has to be going after a lot of the scraps left over from all the schools hitting up DFW all year, but even the scraps are pretty good. I think they should go mostly JUCO and then kids from OK this year, and keep making the rounds this cycle for Tx. 

On a side note, I would also think it maybe smart for UNT, to atleast focus on certain areas of DFW to pick up kids, like Frisco, Allen, Southlake/Colleyville, Highland Park.. They should focus on these "richer" neighborhoods, sorry if i left any off, but it would increase the donor base to get more money into the program..

Well, interesting concept, although it hasn't worked for us yet.

[baberuthbomber8]

well it did kinda work when they brought in Dodge, he did bring in good talent from the DFW area, but he brought in alot of kids from Southlake that I know(I'm from colleyville) and their parents spent $ on the sports packages etc... I dont know exactly if it made a huge difference, but it's around that time we got the stadium, I believe so maybe they got some small/medium donations to help...

I think it did help some at the time; it was just hard to quantify, and what interest it sparked seemed to fade fast after Dodge left.  I've developed a philosophy about churches and sports programs; you have to have some big fish and a lot of little fish.  The big donors seem like they can make some big changes happen faster than they used to, but you have to fill the seats to generate ongoing excitement and a lasting bond between the program and the larger community.

There is a GOLD MINE of kids that play at OK Powerhouse programs Jenks, Union, Broken Arrow, Booker T, McLain and others that all get overlooked and end up at Emporia State, Pittsburg State, Arkansas Tech and StephenFAustin. The SFA guys are here weekly. University of Ohio is in OKC all the time too. A TON of talent that is over looked because they aren't good enough for OU/OSU and TU has some high entrance standards. Could be a great pipeline.

I love the Big Board for Drafts......Can someone donate their life to doing a UNT Recruiting Board? Doesnt need to be fancy but like who we have offered and measurables with possible links along with how many offers they hold?  That would be GREAT, Thanks!

Thought about doing it before

[Cerebus]

Landing a few of those recruits would turn this class around in my eyes.

It was called the Mean Green Report.   Harry and I sold dozens of subscriptions, DOZENS.

Why did they stop doing player highlights after the DL?  Strange.
I'd take Fiailoa, and the Crowder DE would be a decent gamble to take... as a SAM.
Looks like Luther Harris has a UNT offer as well as the #1 RB Lewis.  Wonder if either of them have been followed up with visits?

Lewis is visiting Central Oklahoma this weekend. I wonder if he has grade issues.

Fialoa is a guy I would watch out for. He is one guy I listed that could end up at NT here

[BillySee58]

Yeah, Brad Davis started following Fialoa and we still don't have a high school offensive lineman this class.

[baberuthbomber8]

Would like UNT to go after Maquedius Bain to pair with English, Bain went to the same CC as our new DL Coach.

Bain also was enrolled at LSU it says, but left...

It will be interesting to see, but when I last checked, we already have 17 or 18 OL returning/coming in.  I am certain we will sign at least a couple from HS, but it will be hard to imagine more than about 20 OL on the roster.

I did that for a couple of years here. It was in the blogs.
