When you are unable to recruit high school players the only place to go is JUCO.

When you are left with FCS-number of players on scholarhsip, you need to make up the difference in the short term somehow.

I agree, except if we can't  recruit high school players better in the future than we have in the past then JUCO's become the norm, like TROY.

Nick Smith, LaDarius Hamilton, Rico Bussey Jr. , Deon Hair-Griffen, Mason Fine, Khairi Muhammed, Cade Pearson, Tre Siggers,  Greg White, Cam Johnson, Kody Fulp, Tyreke Davis, Evan Johnson, Jaelon Darden, etc... may disagree with you.

Well,   tap the brakes on the bolded guys above, especially Hair-Griffin.   These guys have not contributed much of anything.

How many of them were offered D 1A scholarships by anyone other than UNT?

These are the best players in the underclassmen ranks. If they didn't have offer sheets we'd be f'd. 

Of the 2 classes SL has signed, the highest rated players have shown the most promise and have gotten the most PT or PT at all. 

This fan base is doomed. No wonder we are so bad for so long. It's disgusting to watch 2011-2014 all over again. I thought I lived those years of my life already. People will talk in circles about this topic forever, but the results have not wavered an inch.

Linemen are the hardest signing you make. RB's WR's LB's DB's you can see a player in high school and project where he will be in a year and you only worry about work ethic, staying eligible and adjusting to the speed of the game.

Linemen generally you need to project what a year of red shirt plus another year or two of sub work will get you. Freeze, Malzahn, and Harsin flat missed nearly all of their line signings. When Anderson arrived we had to hit juco hard to survive but thing is there are some OL guys out there who are redshirting a year of juco or hustling to get their associates fast and starting to see more OL guys ready to come out of juco with 3 to play 3 and even occasionally 4 to play 3. Tend to be much safer signings.

Don't know and don't care.  I do care how they perform for us over their career.  But, feel free to rearch that.

      If you look at the receipt, every item was listed, including the "service charge" and all of the amounts were huge.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      McNeese goes of to the USVI for Paradise Jam this weekend...first game against Illinois State (should be a win...currently a 3:1 favorite)...would set up a potential 2nd round match-up with UAB or Longwood, both tourney teams last year. KState, George Washington, Louisiana and Liberty round out the field. some decent teams, but no world beaters. winnable tournament for McNeese.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      for there being so many "I do my own research" crowd here, y'all are really terrible at doing your own research. - McNeese was 30-3 last season - they won at Michigan and blew out AAC conference champion UAB in Birmingham - they were a 12 seed in the NCAAs...just like AAC conference champion UAB - they haven't lost a home game since February of '23 we lost to a good team in their building...a game with an even slightly better first half we have a great chance of winning. McNeese is currently a comparable program...they'd be very competitive as constructed in the AAC...and your either antiquated and/or football-centric perception of "conference superiority" really has no baring on an intelligent conversation about college basketball. had we lost a close game to Minnesota there would've been a lot more "eh, it's tough to win on the road at a Big 10 school"...when in fact Minnesota looks very mid and is picked to finish dead last in conference...and this McNeese team would beat them 8 of 10 times. I really kinda perversely now can't wait to beat Oregon State and lose to High Point and get to play out this inane argument all over again
