Good offers, too. This looks like it could be a big deal

THOR · December 29, 2016

Damn...littrell and company don't waste anytime relaxing and enjoying g their season...immediately on the recruiting trail!

Love that he's another Allen kid

Signed with Notre Dame out of high school as a 4-star receiver. Played his high school ball in Allen and was teammate of OU's Kyler Murray. Extremely talented. Looks like he had issues at ND and transferred to the juco.

The Notre Dame issue doesn't concern me.

25th in catches, 4th in yards. I like the math in that.

Big time get.

So, three years of eligibility, correct? He's already burned his RS.

Exactly. Huge pickup! Now let's get McNeal from Fullerton

Thank you based god

Since he was released by ND does he have to sit out a year?

Was at Trinity Valley following ND.. Should be a 3 year guy that hopefully is in for spring ball.. McNeal next & the questions regarding our recruiting, or lack there of, can be silenced for a bit..

Eagle-96 · December 30, 2016

Bryce English retweeted the signing and said "just wait to see who's next". Could be more on the way.

NorthTexan95 · December 30, 2016

Bret Vito has an updated article with quotes from the Trinity Valley coach. He said the kid has top end speed ... great ball skills ... and attacks the practice field. I love the first two points and I'm absolutely excited about the last. If this kid will put in the time in practice, off season conditioning, and school work he'll have the opportunity for him to maximize his potential.

Don't think this will be a problem. Guyton is a high character kid who's always been a tremendous worker. He is a huge pickup for our program. He will be able to learn in the spring and develop alongside our other young WR's. Athletically, we should look A LOT different at receiver in 2017 in our ability to get open (create separation) and make competitive plays.

2'nd chances?

Matt from A700 · December 31, 2016

Super pumped! I was nervous because we were losing quite a few receivers at one time to graduation or suspension/transferring but if we can just have consistency at the quarterback position, we can be a dangerous team next year. Wasn't 2013 the last time one dude started all 12 (13) games at QB for us?

We are just going to have to trust that Litrell has reasons to give this kid a second chance, but did not have a reason to give Goree a second chance.

emmitt01 · December 31, 2016

Can't wait for McNeal (and maybe others) to commit so some of our pisters can dig deeper into their "why North Texas sucks today" bag

Don't be so sure he wasn't given a second chance..

Christopher Walker · December 31, 2016

I like Scout's offer list on him:

"Scout.com listed Guyton as a four-star prospect with offers from Baylor, Clemson, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Stanford, TCU and Texas A&M."

UNTLifer · December 31, 2016

You are making a lot of assumptions that the reasons for their dismissals were somehow related offenses.

Eastwood Eagle · December 31, 2016

That is assuming their violations were on par with each other. We don't know the circumstances of either dismissal. I'm sure Littrell knows both reasons and it appears he does not think its an issue.

Also, I bet that Notre Dame's team rules are more strict than UNT's team rules.

I tend to doubt that.........http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/College-Football/2016/11/22/Notre-Dame-football-team-vacates-21-wins-for-academic-misconduct/4401479848995/

Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong, but I don't think the North Texas football program has ever been investigated by the NCAA.

I am not sure of anything. Maybe the ND transfer was given multiple chances, too.

IMO, if you're not going to let the cat out of the bag these posts of your's have very little to no purpose.
