looking at Derricott offer list, if we landed him.. alot of people would be happy with all those Big 12, Big 10, SEC, and Pac 12 schools..

But i was looking at his timeline, after he added me on twitter... he has some Eastern Kentucky stuff up... Is it allowed to ask him about UNT? lol

emmitt01 · July 2, 2016

Also, apparently we added this guy....

Derricott, just accepted Coach Ekler as a follower, and is following a bunch of UNT students/ along with SL

TheReal_jayD · July 2, 2016

one UNT Juco commit just told me he heard D'Vonta Derricott is coming to UNT

TreeFiddy · July 2, 2016

Looking at his timeline, it seems like the only thing possible would be that he is a graduate transfer.

Man, what a night and day difference in the amount of effort being made in recruiting between this staff and the last.

Thanks for confirming JD.

So next question is... If this is true and im assuming we don't know, is how many years he has left? and If he is coming here should we worry about William Johnson, since we have picked up so many other LB's since NSD?

I sure hope we have not lost any of the juco LBs. I hope it is more along the lines of thinking he gives us depth or potential upgrade at the position. However, a 1 year grad transfer that is possibly a blue shirt is definitely robbing Peter to pay Paul.

baberuthbomber8 · July 2, 2016

I'm just starting to wonder about William Johnson... With the # of LB's we have signed im just wondering, because I thought we had okay depth at LB from last year plus this years additions, but I could be mistaken

Looking at the time line, it looks like this kid went to K St after JUCO in 2014. So let's say he played one year JUCO ball, transferred to K St, redshirted for the 2014 season, went back and played another year of JUCO ball last year (or went to Eastern Jentucky, 24/7 timeline is confusing), and now is headed to UNT with either one or two years eligibility left?

Lots of travels for this kid...

I also wonder if all those offers are from his original recruitment in 2014.

But he would have to sit a year, correct? You can't transfer from FCS to FBS and be immediately eligible, can you?

I am really starting to believe if a JUCO is worth it, sign him then if they all show up you just blueshirt. We know from past history that was not the case of all showing up. So maybe you over sign.

Did Mc ever blue shirt or was just walk ons?

as a grad transfer.. I'm assuming that he and Morris will count again the 85, but do they count towards 2016 or 2017? or would they just fall into their own class since they will be off the books in a year?

TreeFiddy · July 3, 2016

Morris is definitely 2016. Derricot will come down to timing and coach's decision. Sine he is a one year player I certainly hope he counts against 2016 so we avoid the situation of a player taking up a roster spot that is no longer here (I.e 2017).
