5'8" 192 lb running back from Magnolia high school in Magnolia, Texas. It appears we offered two days ago, and are currently his only offer. He has committed. Rushed for 1,064 yards and 10 touchdowns. I'm thinking he may missed time/carries due to injury, as he had almost twice as many carries as a sophomore, rushing for over 1,400 yards.

I was under the impression that this would be Seth's first full class of 25. Any idea how many we have that are grey shirted? Is there a % of the class that you would want to have as early commits?

I have almost zero grasp of the grey/blue shirt idea.  It seems like we used a lot of them the last 12 months, and I'm sure that plays into our scholly count this coming class.

ETA: Hudl needs to get on the ball and allow their videos to be embedded on other sites.

I love how he catches the ball out of the back field and he shows how he can stretch the field in the passing game. Its almost like they greased him up in butter before the game too, the man's slippery.

I believe that we used 5 Blue-shirts with the likes of Hood, Jenkins etc. But we had 2 guys from Signing day that didn't make it so they were able to move some of the BS into the slots for the guys who didn't make it (Johnson, and Haynes).

I believe that we have 5 more BS for this years class (Weatherspoon, etc) as well. 

I'm not sure how the we would want to % them out, but I would not say that any of the guys are 100% locks like we felt with Pearson or Davis at times.. Lebanc has said the right things, but it would worriesome if UK doesn't offer to him, and the G from Midway made it sound like he only committed because we offered. Johnson seems to be the most likely to stay to to me. But this staff has shown the ability to hold onto guys once they commit, with the only lose that we have suffered is Bradley to HOU.

Oh nice, i didn't know about the early grad. I feel like Leblanc is someone who is likely to stick with UNT, and with him moving maybe it helps him stay under the radar a bit more. I'm just worried UK offers and he doesn't show

Oh, lets enjoy it wile it lasts.; we are currently second in C-USA on 247!

...not that there is much meaning to that at this point in the season. That said, it sure beats a super slow start.

I think Carroll sticks.  I didn't take his comments to mean he accepted only because we are his only offer at this time.  He knows more will come, but we were the right fit.

Lets hope they all stick and these guys and that they have solid years and possibly improve on their rankings.

Welcome Aboard, Anthony. 

 

Though this guy might get rated again, it just solidifies what this staff is trying to do on the recruiting trail. It's a debate that has been on this board 6,389,054 times. History shows who is on the correct side of that debate. I can't imagine having 70-80% of our roster with 1 FBS offer (us) and watch UNT win a division or conference championship. I am not sure why I even have to say that. But on this board, people get sloppy drunk on the green kool aid.

These kids offer lists aren't even close to complete. People ask why we don't have early commits, get early commits wonder why they don't have more offers. We know that theres atleast a Tulsa, Houston, Baylor offer to follow on nearly anyone we offer. If they stay healthy these guys will have more offers. Most players, unless they are 4/5 star kids with offers in the 30s are getting their first couple of offers this time of year.

Lebanc has moved around, and that hits his tape/ offers...

The guard from midway is over looked because of a the star QB, another even better G, along with a few kids on the defensive side of the ball as well.

Johnson appears to be injured his JR year, and that hurts in terms of getting offers early.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes we can be mad about the kids and their offer lists, but SL and the staff did a solid job with picking up players that did something for us last year. with no offers Look at what Rico, Tyler Wilson, Fine, Balkman, etc did and they didn't many/ if any offers.

Heck we added Triggers, the Durlin (the houston QB turned WR), Greg White, 3 of the top 4 or 5 kids in our class and they didn't have many other offers... That is on top of Pearson who alot of people on here like and he didn't have much of a list either.

Respectfully, sir, this logic is flawed.

If he's playing with star players, then he's gonna be seen on their film, right?

Keep seeing you mention "Triggers". Is that a nickname or something?  Durlin?

If you're expecting these guys to be contributors, may want to learn their names😂

      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.

      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.
