Hey look, we beat out Northwestern Oklahoma and McNeese St for a recruit! Where have I heard that before?

Higher expectations. The last few weeks I feel like UNT90. Am I turning into the crabby old man of the board? Time will tell

just from brief twitter stalking, Syptak gives no indication of committing anywhere.   

 

also, is that every ivy league school but harvard on his list of offers? he must be kinda smart.

Too bad nobody else thinks so. I mean don't get me wrong I'm sure they're good evaluators of talent. But offering kids with no other FBS offers is McCarney level recruiting and we all know where that got us. It's getting a bit tiring to be honest

I prefer to see how a couple of recruiting classes fare before making judgement.

It's hard to believe that it would be Syptak.  He has an offer from every Ivy League school except Harvard.  He also holds an offer from Rice.  This is one smart dude.  Not that we are terrible but we can't match top notch academia.  It sure would be nice though.

It's 6 months till signing day.. offensive lineman is a tough position to recruit. To be successful you have to be able to evaluate and develop. Since we have just seen one class of Seth play yet I will wait and hold my judgement. When coach Patterson was getting started at TCU he would recruit small school tight ends and move them to o line. I am not saying Seth is perfect or he is greatest coach ever. But for respect of recruit give kid a chance. If Seth and co like him then I trust there judgement. And when I see Seth compared to Mac I think that is completely false. Seth and company are turning over every rock and finding kids THEY want and believe fit their system. Unlike Dan and company who would just sit back and get whatever came there way.

How is it that if a kid commits for Oklahoma, Alabama, or Texas in May, they know who it is, but with us, it's like some sort of secret?

Because the recruiting services pay the staff.  Also, those kids are usually jumping up and down to tell everyone they are signing with OU, Bama, or UT.

What I kindof wonder about is if we happen to have a 7+ win year and win a bowl, what's going to happen when more highly-regarded OL are interested in committing, but can't because we have a smaller scholarship allotment due to McCarney 'shipping walk-ons, Littrell grayshirting 1/4 a class, and less-regarded recruits are already committed?

We gonna Lutz 'em and say we're no longer going to be using a OT, and ask him to move to DT or find another place to play?

Dear Lord, please let Gage stay committed.

The way I see it, if Gage goes elsewhere, we'll pick up a WR from Po-Dunk, Oklahoma that magically nobody has ever heard of other than South By NorthEast New York PolyTech State and will propel us to heights we could only dream of!

I think one of the areas not being discussed enough is the timing of these commitments. I agree, that at the end of the recruiting single-offer kids looks bad. I think that these offers are early and intentional. The coaches aren't filling a hole last minute, these are offers they put out well in advance. Obviously, these kids might get more offers, and the coaches don't care regardless. They are getting early commitments, and they are getting kids they wanted enough to offer them. Shouldn't be worried about single offer early commits, should be looking at single offer kids with late offers should be met with more skepticism. These kids still have a whole season of football to play.

      They didn't start marketing the basketball games this last week until one of die hards started messaging him on Twitter. Than miraculously the marketing blasts came out.

      East West Shrine Bowl Practices at UNT

      Quick thought: Our semester has already started. Hopefully some of our guys are able to interact with coaches or players of the bowl. Anyone with aspirations of playing at the next level should definitely try to maximize from the practices being held on campus.

      Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support

      I like Jared in the Boardroom. For those posters who just think it’s over there is no more than these 4k that care about basketball, I expect an AD to fight like heck vocally for that 4,300, then 4,500 then 5,000. I’m talking nonstop effort. For a business person like Jared it’s constant wealth growth. A entrepreneurial business mindset. No business development no bill pay. No business acquisition no food in the pantry. Why are we having our first promoted tailgate this Saturday? Sorry if I missed the press on the other games but I’m talking Wyoming and UTSA intense press every home game. I don’t want to Beach but this passive promotion doesn’t work except for places like the SEC. Big 12 programs have to be aggressive. I loved hearing Coach thanking the Denton Community for making Sunday’s basketball environment fun. Where are the stories of outreach to the community like we get birthday updates of the players I have no idea who they are and if they will be here in the fall. You know visits to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, food drives, cancer hospitals. I would be so proud of our teams and executives jumping into action and building community at the local level. Groups demonstrating meaningful outreach, building relationships, recruit money and fans. It’s the old adage that people want to belong to something and that something has to be remarkably communicated by our visionary leaders. Right now our President and AD are not speaking to the fans. We have questions and deserve answers. First pack the Pit on Saturday. Should be easy to recruit friends to the tailgate. UNT be prepared. Ready yourself to make a great impression. GMG

      What are the notches on his belt? What can he currently point to as "I did that"? I'm genuinely curious. Ross Hodge was an obvious choice and already here, but kudos I guess on not flubbing an easy one. I won't list what I feel like are the shortcomings, because I'm genuinely curious what makes him the best AD since Hayden Fry. I will say this man is being paid over half a million dollars a year, and the trajectory seems to be downwards.

      "Come join us and be part of this great program" should at least be one of the marketing themes.
