I know people are going to complain about how he has no offers and isn't a 3 star, but I don't really see why people think we should be winning all these recruiting battles. Obviously as UNT fans

Hopefully it's not another half star project

Worked out last time Eke found a raw Defensive end with zero D1 offers

Right, but they still offered, and they still believed he had FBS-level ability when they evaluated him. In this case we are the first FBS team to evaluate this kid as having an FBS prospect.

I would say his case is more similar to Joseph Ozougwu. And I think that'll be a little more similar blueprint as far as role and development path that he will take.

Speaking of Ozougwu, it was mentioned a year ago that he was up to 230 lbs. but is still listed on the website roster at 205.  Does anyone know his actual weight, and if he gained, did he retain his speed?

Back to Thornton, it is true that west Texas football isn't what it was back in 70's and 80's but there is still good talent to be found out here.  Just takes a little more looking.

I know he's not loaded with stars or offers, but this kids tape is my favorite so far from the class. I think he's got all it takes to play at this level. He's got some good pass rushing moves, fast for his size, great backside pursuit, never gives up on plays. I mean this kid gets it done and he got it done on a terrible high school team. He's my player to watch of the class.

No.  West Texas posters have dibs on West Texas recruits.  

Not my fault you were slow on the trigger. He has done been endorsed.

Amarillo is more Oklahoma than West Texas.

There's really no need to insult Amarillo like that.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
