You can never have enough DT’s

Especially with very few proven D1 contributors. We have no idea who of the the recruits from the past 2 years will actually stick and be D1 players.

On Twitter. His high school coach says UH no longer welcome on campus since he had been committed since June. UH pulled his offer.

We already have two dt's one to sign later. Is this not enough? Just

curious, as I really don't know. Should our focus be on signing an OL or two

and maybe one more WR?

Sign all the DT's you can.

To be fair, his offer was pulled after he chose to not sign early.  No idea of the context of offer being pulled, but that is the very conversation I had with both athletes we had sign D1.  It's your call to wait and see what happens, but if you have schools who want you it's best to choose from those options.  If you don't they'll likely look elsewhere i.e. Pull ship. 

 

Id love for us to land him, and sway some metroplex coaches back to UNT. I think he can play nose for us extremely well too.

UNT has to be more aggressive than they have shown with the top ranked recruits in the area. Subscribe to Randy Roger's service, and others, and offer every top kid early. Follow up, follow up and follow up.

I realize there is a screening process and Littrell wants every kid to fit his Core Values. But at the end of the day, we will always wonder why the top athletes end up at FAU and Troy.

I was with you until the end. FAU and Troy get players that are borderline criminals and academic risks.   Other than that , I agree with everything.

I think @TheReal_jayD can confirm that they are aware of all of those players even if they choose not to pursue. Maybe they do need to be more aggressive, but they aren't having any issues finding out about players.

Recruiting is like sales in that it is a numbers game.  However, in order to be successful you have to spend your time on prospects that won't just waste your time in the end.

Always a tough call as to how much time to spend with top prospects that more than likely will dump us as soon as they get a P5 offer.  Fool us once shame on you, fool us twice, shame on us.

An added benefit of not offering guys and they end up falling through the cracks or qualifying late is that we can bring them in and use a blueshirt.  As soon as host them on an official visit or offer them a scholarship they become a recruited player and are ineligible to receive a blueshirt.

Why?  Can all of them play LB as well?  We need some quality linebackers.

Really good DL can make subpar LB look like all world

A good DL makes everyone look bette. Build from inside out. It’s not the skill guys who are the diff makers. Plenty of 5’10-6 foot kids that can play football. Much harder to find big athletic dudes who can ball.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Hilarious. Dudes have been in here since the 70s waiting for a miracle. I refuse to waste that much time.
