That's pretty cool. I've never seen a stat site for offensive lineman

Yeah it's an interesting metric, but has its limitations. While it's easy to credit the line for generating line rushing yards, it's difficult to really measure its pass pro since not all sacks are created equal. But it's a start.

Is that 6 OL in one class? Seems a bit excessive. 

No way in hell is it excessive, IMO.  Can't have too many OL/DL players--which UNT has had major difficulty recruiting in the past.

So what does UNT Staff see that 125 other FBS teams is not seeing?

Hopefully something similar to the 'it factor' of a certain Cowboy QB getting passed over three rounds in last year's NFL draft.

Other FBS schools see a 235 pound O-lineman and say either:  (1) he can bulk up and play tight end, or (2) we don't have tight ends; he's going grow into a nice DII or FCS lineman.

Our coaching staff sees a 235 pound O-lineman without any FBS offers and says:  (1) here's one we can land!

I trust Brad Davis, even if the kid may never grow into a true FBS-sized lineman.  Or...something like that.  What other choice do we have as fans?

We've already got FBS's smallest QB.  Maybe Littrell's offensive coaches are trying to recruit the smallest offense in the FBS all the way around. It's a novel idea.  Gotta hand it to them.  They won't have much competition to achieve it either.

He's 6'4"+ and already reportedly bulked up to 261 lbs after playing in the 230's. I'm sure the staff projects a 6'4" 290+ kid who's athletic.

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
