5 reasons why our future is bright...

1.  Great leadership in place!

2.  Great... young QB. 

3.  Skill positions building on 2017. 

4.  English and Hambone!

5.  Primary coaches headed into year 3.

"FR" and "SO". 

It seemed that every player the broadcast talked about today had one of those two abbreviations following their name. So many of our key players still have two or three years remaining in their college careers.  Today we lost to a senior heavy team that is at a peak in their cycle.  We hopefully have two more years before we hit peak.

Are you talking about these FR and Soph's?

97  Dion Novil  DL  6-4  253  FR  Abilene, TXWylie HS

96 Tony Krasniqi  DL  6-1 249   FR  Sachse, TXSachse HS

58  Ryan Bishop  LB  5-11 191  FR   Allen, TX   Allen HS

59  Hayden Harrison  LB  6-2  210  RS FR   Wolfforth, TX   Frenship HS

 

I'm more concerned with the numbers before their class designation. I don't see big numbers, and when i watched our games this year, I didn't see anything that resembled fast either. From just the raw numbers that go along with these freshman and sophomores, the DL's would only be big enough to play LB for the FAU's and the Troy"s of the world, and the LB's are more DB sized by FAU and Troy standards. 

Character is a very important quality, but BIG AND FAST is what really kicked our asses this year.

Those numbers are disheartening. Our LBs need to be at least around the 230-250 range. Our DLs need to be more like 280-300. Across the board, all the FR and SO need to put on at least 20 lbs of muscle and not just the DL and LB. We have several WR under 180, RB under 190, DB under 180, and OL under 280. A JC or FCS program could field bigger and faster. Hell some high schools could do better. To pack on 20 lbs of muscle and improve speed is going to be a tough job. Let's hope strength and conditioning coach along with the nutritionist, that WB hired, can get it done.

All kidding aside. I feel like we will have some players come out of the woodworks next year. players that are on the roster but haven't been talked about (not much at least). Here are 5 players I think may make an impact, no particular order but.....

1) Kerry Hall - Special teams (either KR or PR)

2) Joe Ozougwu - already on peoples radar but feel like his play next year will still surprise ppl

3) Chris Thornton 

4)Makyle Sanders

5)Keegan Brewer - (Him along with greg white will be the new receivers who will be targeted next)

Disclaimer - no inside information.....just a wild, wild hunch #ButI'mNotACoach

I think the main problem we had at LB was speed, not size.

Well then it makes you wonder why Corey Mann(ran a 4.5 in HS) wasn't starting.

Wouldn't mind seeing Mann at the weak side with his speed. At 198 pounds he's not gonna be able to shed many blocks though. I think BG's days are numbered as a starter.

Oh yea i agree... he should to be on the list. From some of the podcasts it sounds like he may have the potential to be the next Orr by his senior year. Idk about that but I’m excited for him non the less.

China Spring has provide us with some players.  My wife has family in that area and they have spoken highly of Mr. Fulp.  Size reminds me of Brad Kassell.

Hardest thing to recruit for a G5 program out of high schools are lineman. I suspect SL will have to go hard at the JUCO level to get some here. 

This is what we need to go up from where we are currently.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      I said this before, regarding football, but the transfer portal is just killing my joy for college sports. I quit CFB a few years ago--it just cost too much and it took too long. CBB isn't long for my fandom even though it's my favorite sport to follow. I could handle the fact that coaches could leave they wanted-it made sense. I don't like NIL but I understand why its there, but its easy to exploit and declare it "legal" to pay. But the portal is the ender. A brand new team every year, basically, if you have any success from the season before...its just impossible to support it with any kind of logical approach as a UNT fan. And this isn't even counting the ways the university actually acts about our teams, as well.

      NBA benches are also filled with...checks notes...10 NBA basketball players. there's a pretty big difference in calling down Dwight Powell and trusting he can contribute after a string of DNPs than asking the same of Brock Vice

      I think it was pretty telling that when Massie was out only Stone got the spare minutes. Stone was a trusted part of the '23-'24 rotation (30 GP, 14 minutes/game) and then completely fell out of the rotation last season (16 GP, 5 minutes/game)...so it didn't appear Hodge had much "senior-loyalty" to get him minutes... maybe, just maybe Mason wasn't actually ready to contribute last season.

      1. I understood your point, that's why I noted that you were making a valid argument in regards to having players ready to play. 2. Definitely cherry picking. Let's go to Google so everyone is working off of the same definition: A basketball team's "rotation" is the group of players who are most likely to be on the court during a game, as opposed to those who are primarily bench players 3. I feel like that is rarely, if ever, seen in college. 4. When you win your NCAA tournament games by an average of over 23 points per game, you probably had a lot of games that bench players got extended minutes.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      Players changing every season is the part that hurts programs that need to build fan bases. Fans “buying into” a program takes excitement over seasons of watching the same players. You follow the Mavs to see Luka. It’s an investment as far as buying tickets and donating and getting friends to come, etc.
