817 is a good chunk of Tarrant County. Not just Ft. Worth.

I believe Fine and Pirtle's area codes are 918 or 539. 405 is Oklahoma City area

I'm going with chandler anthony on the Oklahoma one

ChristopherRyanWilkes · January 31, 2016

I love that they do these. I get all giddy when I see one, and it's fun seeing people trying to figure out who it is.

It's an interesting way to talk about recruiting without talking about recruiting (thus breaking NCAA rules).

Makes the most sense. Saw Hamilton following him

Yup. Great idea. This is shaping up to be a good weekend, here's to more good news on the way.

Could be Billy's Arlington Martin guesses and Chandler Anthony then. I really like that Arlington Martin RB.

Nic Smith would be a big get. I didn't think we were in contention for him.

I heard from a reliable source UNT is going to offer Tyler Wilson, so he's almost certainly one.

Smith has had a surprisingly underwhelming recruiting process. Two running backs before him signed with TCU (Kyle Hicks) and OU, and he's had better numbers but much less recruiting action. Undersized but would be a great pickup.

I saw he got a crystal ball prediction to Sam Houston yesterday. Maybe he's visiting there this weekend, but would have to think he's ours if we want him. Only other public offer was SMU, and that appears outdated.

To me he seems like the type of player we could really build the program back quickly with. Like Billy said, not a ton of p5 activity but great production. I just watched his hudl again, and he is an electrifying player. Very talented and plays against good competition in that district. Hope we land him!

Nic Smith hudl

GMG24 · January 31, 2016

I watched him several times this and last year. Kid is a. Jeffrey Wilson 2.0, smaller but just as effective. Get him here!

ChristopherRyanWilkes · January 31, 2016

Could the lack of offers be Nic's big drop off in production his senior year? I'm hoping this was due to an injury problem because his Junior year was phenomenal.

Yeah, Nic Smith is a stud. We did a Hard Knocks-type series following Martin around all year (Wfaa.com/Warriors!) and he's the most impressive kid we covered. All-time rushing leader at the school, really good kid. He missed 5 games this year due to an injury, but once he came back they just rampaged on people. Until Allen came calling. Freaking Allen.

Liking the video of Smith, he doesn't look like he is a super fast guy because of his long strides, but seems to be a good between the tackles and outside runner with great vision. Impressive pick up

I agree. Doesn't look super fast, but never seems to get caught in the open field either.

baberuthbomber8 · January 31, 2016

I was hoping we would get the RB that committed to UTEP last night because he(the kid that commited to UTEP) was just like this, but adding Smith is huge. Huge because it shows we can pick up kids in DFW, and also this will make kids in the DFW area consider UNT and keep us in the minds of coaches in the area as well.

I'm super impressed with Littrell and Company, a few days ago I think most/ if not all of us were thinking we couldn't get a fun class, but looks like we could do that. I looked at the C-USA class ranking, if we add the Augie, Hamilton, Bain, Haynes that took us up to 9th and it didnt factor in Morris or English.. So if we got those 4(augie, Bain, hamiliton, haynes) or even 2 or 3.. plus these kids we could finish in the top half of C-USA after a 1-11 year, which is great

Yeah, that was awesome. Love it when you guys do stuff like that, especially at Martin. Allen game was disappointing. Offensive played awful, unfortunately.

Smith is just speculation at this point. No official confirmation.
