Wow, he committed to the first school that offered. I can only hope that with this kid in our back yard, we can sway him but Its been proven wrong before.

It's likely that he will draw even more interest from big programs. He did grow up here so that is the age old good/bad thing. Great if he wants mom and dad to be at all the games like they have his whole life, not so great if he wants to go away for school.

Decommitted from Kansas. Has been blowing up, but this timely tweet makes it seem like we'll be targeting him hard

I think the biggest threat could be Houston

Or tech?

Have they offered? But I'd have Houston over Tech.

Ah I see what you meant. Tech could edge us if playing close to civilization is not a concern for him (or the whole Big 12 thing, but whatever).

You people underestimate the draw of Lubbock.  Yes, it is in the middle of nowhere, but the students and alumni love that town and it supports the heck out of Tech.  I don't understand it, but I work with a number of Tech alums and they love going back to Lubbock for the weekend.

Speaking for myself, it's not that I underestimate Tech. I just hate Tech. 

Obviously a Tech scholly holds way more weight than a North Texas scholly, but it could be possible to convince him to stay.

My biggest selling point would be that early playing time and a 4 year career isn't out of the question here. (Though unfortunately for us, Tech has some oline concerns)

Look guys, I have a buddy at Allen HS. New coach has college coaches say who they are and where they're from every practice. Guess how many north Texas has been at. ZERO. I'm losing faith in this staff due to social media and recruiting in state.

Can we at least give this coaching staff a year to recruit and produce results before we push them overboard?

Didn't push them over board, however we are getting Murdered on social media aka FREE RECRUITING.

Allen has to be the most overrecruited school in the country. I'm not going to hold it against Littrell if we aren't the 11th school watching a Tuesday morning walk through there.

Let's look under rocks that no one else is exploring.

Based on his success as an assistant coach, I'm going to assume Littrell knows what he is doing unless he proves that he doesn't. Wouldn't be any fun otherwise.

That is fine and all, but at some point you have to out recruit other schools for good players.  There are 2-3 kids there who are UNT level caliber.  The coach lets scouts introduce themselves and their school each practice.  This practice in particular is their big night practice.  How hard is it to have one coach out? TCU sent Sonnie Cumbie. There were all levels of coaches their too from P5 to Ivy League, CUSA, AAC, and some D2.  I'm not saying you gotta throw all your eggs in the desoto, Allen, coppell, trinity baskets.  But these DFW schools should be touched once a week, and on social media (which is honestly my biggest issue with this staff).

We have to give this coaching staff more time than this to get our house in order. Geez louise.

Honestly, yes Allen may have a few kids that would consider UNT, but i bet the staff is trying to get in good with certain coaches and schools with players that fit our scheme now and in the future the best... Also, I bet they think since there are so many other "bigger" programs out tryin to get Allen players, they would rather focus on other schools that same level players are getting less attention... While completely passing by Allen without any a stop is bad, I doubt they are just overlooking programs completely... The staff nailed down a pretty descent class for signing day in March in just a few weeks... I believe they know what to do

You mean all the JUCO's? Check out JUCOFrenzy on twitter, and see how many times our name pops up as interested in or targeting.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I would take 30-60 as a success overall but what I really don't want is a defense that gets absolutely steamrolled in any one game. Show me you can adjust during games to counter opponent's adjustments. I do put some of Caponi's failure on Eric Morris with his poor game management so I guess we'll see if he can do some soul searching this offseason.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green (I brought them up in a thread a couple days ago, sorry you don't read other posts): 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.
