Everyone is concerned about his Texas ties in replacing Perry.  We have Harrell, Mainord, Reffett and Filani have Texas ties.  Brown, Davis and LeBlanc have ties to Louisiana and the South, Ekeler to the south, Littrell OK and Conley and our GA's have ties to Texas.  Did it occur to anyone that maybe Biagi will help expand our territory?  I have faith that our young staff can build these relationships immediately.  Assistant coaches move around a lot, so they have to have the gift of connecting with players, parents and coaching staffs.  Sounds like Biagi has that ability considering his success in recruiting new areas for Arkansas as a GA.  Let's give him a chance instead of criticizing everything before the man sets foot in Denton.

Who is coaching the running backs the??? Brad Davis??

Surely not.  A couple of people have mentioned in other threads that there is a pending rule to allow 10 full-time coaches.  The only possibility seems to be that SL is certain that rule is going to pass, and is going to hire a RB coach.

Expand what territory? We have been getting killed in Denton County. There is no territory to expand.

Hopefully this class improves dramatically  before Feb 3rd.

Conley? 80 % or so of his ties have retired.  I think we need to get younger at that position in a hurry.

It would be awesome to see Patrick on staff in some capacity.

Or maybe SL coaches the RBs himself... Like saban coaches his Safeties.

Are you sure about Saban coaching safeties?  Derrick Ansley's bio indicates that he coaches all DBs, including safeties.

Anyhow, SL coaching RBs is a possibility I hadn't thought of.  It would surprise me, but it is possible.

Don't hold your breath waiting

We NEVER get Denton kids (Schilleci, Tyreke Davis) just like Fine never completes passes downfield.  

I will let you carry my torch on this one.  Thank you.

Really close to NSD to lose your top East Texas recruiter. Poor timing to say the least.

I don't think thks came as a surprise to anyone affiliated with the program.  I would bet Perry wasn't too active this recruiting season past the HOD Bowl.

    1. 72

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      Wayland Baptist (11/7/24)

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
