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?

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.

Where was it said his offer has been pulled? 

Has offers from Tulsa, UTSA and UH as well

[UNTLifer]

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

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. 

[UNTLifer]

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.

Be nice to have a few DL you could red shirt and add strength and quality size .

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.

[UNTLifer]

Because it is the most difficult position to recruit quality.

Really good DL can make subpar LB look like all world 

[unt_rocket09]

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.
