Who gives a crap about rankings. The averages are bias. Just take these two players for example

 

http://247sports.com/Player/Lorenzo-Dantzler-72551?PlayerInstitution=202939

Rated an 83 and 3 star. UTSA highest ranked recruit. Just one offer UTSA.

 

http://247sports.com/player/vada-king-53439

Rated a 77 and a 2 star. Our 7th highest ranked recruit. Has multiple D1 offers including stAte and us. 

This just popped into my head, and I have no idea.. but it has been brought up on here that most/likely all of us are not members of 24/7. Could it be that UTSA has a solid # of users and this leads to UTSA getting a more favorable rating boost than kids that come to UNT because of the lack of users from UNT? 

Hopefully this makes sense

Blind? Also since my post got deleted in his thread. I'm betting the new recruit is a kid without any FBS offers besides North Texas. Never heard that one before

You right I do have agenda. To prove to the many gmg.com visitors that the sky is indeed not falling like you like to convey. And this coaching staff and AD department isn't the same ole UNT.

Dantzler at one time had offers from Memphis , Southern Miss, La Tech & more  recently picked up offers from Tulane , Troy , FAU & Colorado

In a way, yes.

First thing to remember is that all these recruiting sites are highly inaccurate with offers ( either listing or not listing ) , ranking , stars , etc...  they are pretty lazy with kids who aren't 4 or 5 star recruits.. take rivals for example, we for a very brief time had a team page with a paid person who would report with inside info on the program... that didn't last because no one subscribed.. Long story short, they will focus more attention on those recruits who are being recruited with programs who have the most paid subscribers.

Sure. This just means that they look a smidgen closer at the recruits that utsa offers. We offer many of the same kids. Only if we were able to beat them straight up. 

Fun fact - 10/12 of La Techs commits are 3*.

This wasn't pushing an agenda? It was a half truth that I am sure you were fully aware of in an attempt to discredit the system that is bottomless in historical correlation. But no agenda?

I'll admit I got that recruit information straight from 247. Which proves that Recruiting sights can't be trusted for Recruiting accuracy. His 83 rankings came from rivals site that is ran by a fan. No different than many on this board.

No, no, no. What SL did on the field was very good at times, especially when we peel the onion back. I've never disputed that. But recruiting is monumentally important. And when you do it with minimal success, it USUALLY carries over to the playing surface. And, of course, vice versa. 

But, what's funny, to your own comment...SL is recruiting at or below Dan McCarney's FCS roster. 

What are your qualifications for evaluating football talent?  Just really curious, because you appear to know much more about it than SL and staff who's lively hood relies on their success.

If you think he is good at evaluating football talent, he is even better at the recruiting pitch...

He and others could sale UNT from the bottom of C-USA to challenge schools like UH, and others

First of all, it is "sell" not "sale."  I see this error too often.

And most importantly, stop engaging with Ben Gooding. Your quoting of him ruins my ignore feature (and the entire GMG board).

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
