2018 recruit. Hasn't committed yet but UNT his #1

Good to hear. Really seems like the staff is stepping up their twitter game significantly. I'm seeing recruits tweet out way more stuff about "UNT Showing Love" with custom graphics.

Breath of fresh air compared to the previous regime

Nice!   Film is very instinctive.  He puts himself in good position to make plays.  Would be a great pickup.  Hope he and Siggers are close.
His tackle form is going to need much work though.  Dudes at the D1 level are not going to go down as easy as he's making it look with his arm tackles and throwing guys to the ground and such...   Imagine this guy trying to put his hands on Aaron Jones' shoulders/chest to throw him down.  He'd get stiff-armed into oblivion.

Showing off the success of UNT LBs from the past and present would help us get some solid LB depth in the 2018 class.

Guessing the offer had expired after we had picked up the 2 LBs (Nixon and Hunt)??

Yep.  I would make this assumption as well.  Offers don't last forever.  In fact, if you look at the offer letter attached to the poll on the DMN website, you will notice in the wording that it says offer is good as long as they are still recruiting said position, or something like that.  So, no, I don't think we got out-recruited by ULM.

Maybe.  but we sure need to re-stock our linebacker corps.

Agreed but with use losing so many upper class guys, it maybe add 1-2-3 HS kids and then add JUCOs to aid in letting kids adjust

Littrell and UNT beat out by ULM, a program on it's death bed.  Simply amazing.

Sometimes people should just sit back and relax. Kid waited around on a bigger offer, our staff took commitments from 2 other LBs his ship wasn't available. Doubt we take 3 LBs gotta start evening roster out, so a few at each position will be max aside from OL/WR I'd guess.

Agreed, over-reaction and kids waiting to long for a bigger offer bites them in the butt sometimes...

Wondering if they end up moving the Aubrey kid to DT if the other OL kids start to click from this 2017 class.

From the sounds of it, it seems like Nixon may be playing the jack position that Wheeler is playing. All Vito asked/specified was inside or outside linebacker, which may not be specific when one of our outside linebackers is more like a hybrid DE/LB. At 5'11" I doubt this kid would be on the edge, so I don't think Nixon took his spot. And we need more second-level linebackers. Not many on our roster who have eligibility after this year.

Maybe our offer to him expired, but we still need more linebackers for our future roster.

So what happens if the two "commits" get P5 offers and flip? Would Johnson consider us again?

Who knows... If it were to happen, we have seen this staff go after kids that come out of no-where there senior year.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
