If this commit holds this kid will have a good chance be an excellent pick-up for UNT.  Of course, his lack of P5 offers  will disappoint some folks on GMG who pride themselves on fortune-telling.

Wrong. Lack of any FBS offers. Zero.  Offer lists and the star system is not a perfect system, but it's damn close. And much, much more safer than "development".

"Damn close" to perfect?  An how is waiting to see how a player develops "unsafe"?  By your 'logic' we shouldn't even play the games, we should just add up the stars & the offers.

It's an imperfect system that proves itself to be extremely accurate year after year. Not to be catty, but you could add up roster stars and predict W/L records with relative precision. That's kind of the point I'm making and why we need to step up our recruiting, quickly. 

As far as unsafe..Typically NR prospects or 1 FBS offer prospects do not produce at this level with any kind of consistency. The coaching staff is banking on their developmental coaching which has proven to be a failing formula at UNT. Alllll of UNT's success over the course of the last 2 decades came after signing above our norm. I do not know why this is difficult for people to understand. I have said it on this site probably 200 times over the course of 5 years and people keep arguing it and the results keep remaining the same. 

If UNT wins 8+ games this year, I'll exit stage left on this topic. In the meantime, it needs to be hammered home.

Your 'perfect' system ignores how well a kid fits a system and it certainly ignores other important factors such as academics & character.

Congrats to all. He has one of the better videos that I have seen. I also believe that has a big advantage being a coaches son and running the same offense! If he can achieve this season with what he did last year there will be other offers! Hold on to this kid! GMG

Go cross analyze in 2 different tabs -- team star total and team ranking from 1 to 127 over the last however many years you want. It tells a tale. If you don't agree with it, I get it. If I were a green kool aid drinking, eyes wide shut diehard UNT alum I wouldn't want to agree with me either. I don't like what it is and where we stand and I wish it would change. But I'm not going to passively ignore or overlook recruiting metrics that are extremely accurate just because it doesn't show itself to be favorable for our program. We need to improve in this area and improve quickly, and that's not even up for debate. 

And 3 star players are stacked at P5 programs. Not all of them can play. They probably go FCS because they get to play immediately rather than having to sit out, or it's close to home, or whatever reason you want to create. Not sure what narrative that really fits anyway. 

And it's not that it's perfect, but it's the best system and shows itself to be accurate. If you want to dive into it more, be my guest. Go look at all 10 FBS conference recruiting classes over the last 3-4 years. It's almost a concrete guarantee that the top 5 recruiting class avg in each conference over the span of those years are finishing in the top 5 in standings each year and of course vice versa. We at UNT are currently the vice versa. There are limited outliers to this, but the averages hold steady. Not sure what to tell you. The facts are the facts. I didn't create them or write them, I'm just telling you about them.

Well, I'll put it this way. If we had 25 3* commits and sign I can say without question we would be better than only getting the 2-3  3* a year what we've been getting since I can remember.

Two ways to be good at recruiting: be better at selling or be better at choosing. Right now, Seth is opting to go the be better at choosing route. Neither way is easy.

We can whine all day that we aren't winning recruiting batttles, but Seth's first season was a success. And as long as he keeps succeeding then I will give him the benefit of the doubt on recruiting.

I don't have any perspective on this, but I don't think he 1) would gave two craps about this forum (no offense, but he's 18 and also would know better as a QB), and B) would give two craps about negative stuff being said about him, football-wise.

As any kind of athlete, you're taught to focus.

I don't think he cares about what old men talking about teenagers have to say.

other than the fact that on his "Welcome to UNT" posting, you jump in a spout the fact he "Lacks any FBS offers, ZERO"  Sounds like an attack to me.

That's a fact, not an attack. I obviously hope he does exceptionally well.

I trust Coach Harrell on this.  Admittedly, it's almost impossible to believe that Martin, in his first year as a starter, threw for nearly 3,500 yards and 46 touchdowns while earning Greater Houston Newcomer of the Year without receiving one FBS offer.  

Bottom line...if Graham's evaluation is correct, I believe that we've found a hidden jewel.

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
