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.

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
