I don't see a school on that list that should be preferable to North Texas

You gave me an idea -- we should put together a recruiting checklist.  Perhaps get some of the coaches on here to provide their input.  The challenge is there are so many factors involved but there are a few key ones in my mind.  Mind you this may not be in the right order! 

Winning (bowls, conference championships), Tradition/Reputation/Potential of school, P5 vs. G5 vs. FCS etc, Playing Time, Facilities (stadium/athletic center/dorms etc), High School Coach, Academics and academic support (respected program in interested major, plenty of resources and facilities for tutoring/academic program), Dollar Value of education ($ amount/equivalent tuition, books living expenses for that school), Family Connections (mother father were alum or letterman),  High school attending (some high schools favor certain types of colleges be it private schools etc, peer group pushes certain schools), teammates attending/pipeline high school that believes in the UNT program, Official visit (hotels, entertainment, player sponsors), Touches/Number of visits, phone calls, texts email from coaches,  Family needs that require them to be close to home or DFW. 

Feel free to add or subtract...

It will prevent the baseless we should be the world at recruiting and support pros and cons of our university vs others. Add some data to opinion.

When I would talk to a player of mine being recruited, I asked them a few things.  1) Do you like the school? 2) Do you like the coaches? 3) Do you think you will get a good education there?  If the answer to all 3 was yes, I would advise them not to look at the conference or the size of the school.  I would instead ask them if they were one of the top recruits or "one of the others".  Finally, I would advise to go where you will play the most.  That will make for the best experience.  If you are #20 on their list of 20, it is likely that you won't have the experience you want.  Go to the school where you are one of their top recruits instead.

Some listened, many didn't.  Stars in their eyes... and 18 years old.  At that age you know everything.

Agreed, if you want to go to the pro's most of the time its based on playing time, and what you have on tape.. Yes the conference or teams that you play against can matter, but the players don't get to pick who is on the sch... but you playing at any level and showing what you can do will get you noticed.

Pretty much nailed it.  One thing I always add is would you like the school enough to stay should your position coach, coordinator or HC get fired.

From an article on 247sports dated February 16th.  Starting to blow up:

"-Mansfield wide receiver Jackson Gleeson, who may be the fastest player in the state, has seen some big offers come his way. Baylor and Nebraska both threw their hats into the ring this week. The 6-foot, 165-pound junior did not see a ton of passes his way as Mansfield had four-star workhorse running back Kennedy Brooks, but he averaged 27 yards per reception in 2016."

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
