Im not drinking the Litrell Kool aid yet, but I like this recruiting class.  My favorite signee is Kason Martin.  I love his attitude and his experience.  Big time pipeline to get in at Manvel and could lead to getting others to commit.  

2nd is Ogunmakin.  Seen him play and it may be a biased choice, but he's a good athlete.

[Mean Green 93-98]

I'll go with Dayton LeBlanc.

[emmitt01]

Jaxon Gibbs

[97and03]

Class isn't complete yet, so too early. 

[GrayEagle]

For now it's Reggie Williams.  I think that in the future it will be Kason Martin.

[Harry]

LeBlanc is my pick.  Watch his films. Just impressive speed and hands and plays at a high mev of comp.

Funny thing is.. the Manvel kids who committed to AM still haven’t signed.. hope UNT can get Martin here on campus and go hard after the other Manvel kids once he is on campus.

From everything I can see, he isn't signed yet.  

Anyone know what the deal is there?

[MeanGreenTexan]

Toss-up for me between KD Davis & Austin Ogunmakin.   Both will be playing as Freshmen.   Reggie Williams & Jaxon Gibbs close behind.

Holding my breath for Carroll to sign next month.

Sleeper pick: Larry Nixon

He appears here:

And they can't mention him until he actually signs.

Hard to choose. Reggie, KD, Gibbs, Austin.

But who's gonna give me saturday night fever?

 

...sorrynotsorry

[UNTLifer]

Not sure.  The sleepers to me are Jordan Hunt, all district in a highly competitive district, and Derrick Shaw.  The JUCO Torrey is intriguing to me.  His video is crazy.

What really stood out to me was the speed of the teams in the NC.  I am hoping the combination of Williams, Gibbs, Davis and Crosby, whoever ends up in the DB, will improve this for us.

Jason Bean/Kason Martin

I can't decide!!! I'm excited about them both. I know Kason Martin has been getting a lot of love on here (and rightly so), but please don't sleep on Jason Bean. With the right coaching, Jason Bean could become one of the most unstoppable players North Texas has ever had.

I truly believe we will win our first CUSA championship with one of these guys as our quarterback!

Go Mean Green!!!

Same here. And I like his name!

[Withers940]

Give me Larry Nixon, He's a tackle Monster!!

 

But I'm a huge fan of all the Safety's, LeBlanc, and Kason

[UNTLifer]

You fans of Martin and Bean, as I am as well, may be overlooking Mr. Pearson from last year's class.  I expect big things from him once Fine finishes his career.

[BTG_Fan1]

Offense is Martin.. The kids tape he just puts it in the right stop, and has sneaky speed.. and just looking at him in the pocket, it reminds of me Sam Bradford at OU.. I do think he could work on the throwing motion some, but excited to see what he can do in Spring ball. (Hope he can get a few of those Manvel/AM commits to flip) 

Defensive is Gibbs, just because I view him as a kid that could potential play CB or S... He is nearly 6'0 and 200 lbs, which is maybe the most exciting thing. (Honestly hope they leave him on Defense, and not move him around). 

Nixon is my sleeper. Nixon seemed to be have better stats than White (the former AM, now OU commit) but isn't viewed as a top-tier prospect because of the offer list. Hopefully he can get up to the 230 lb range.

Shaw is my breakout/potential super star of the class. Kid seems to play like Hamilton but has more weight. I haven't watched his tape recently, but I want to say I loved his ability to penetrate

We may win a CUSA title with Bean or Martin, but it won't be our 1st...no way The Chief allows himself to walk out of here without a ring

I'm intrigued by Torrey & Sa'afi

Poor Pearson will only have 1 season (EDIT: 2 seasons) to play... if he does.

Edited January 17, 2018 by MeanGreenTexan
Pearson redshirted. Fine didn't.

ah yes.  I had it in my mind that he redshirted...  still hard to believe Fine is a TRUE Sophomore with his level of play last year.

I told him I am not holding back if he screws up, he's getting same boo's as everyone else.  He laughed and told me he was ready.  We will find out.  

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

@GMG24 do u think Jaxon will redshirt or be able to contribute on special teams next year??
