This class is shaping up really well.

3*(.8466) RB Garrison Johnson

3*(.8199) WR Damon Ward

3*(.8004) QB Logan Holgorsen (supposedly he has decommited but I haven’t seen anything official yet on this. If so he will likely be replaced by 3*(.8316) QB Chase Griffin)

We currently have the #2 class in C-USA, only behind Southern Miss who has 1 more commit than us. We are averaging a rating of .8223 right now which will increase even further if we replace Holgorsen with Griffin

I really like seeing us poke around the golden triangle for recruits.

This is Coach Langston territory. He has a lot of connections down there. I think we will continue to have success around the triangle

I honestly think the Logan decision was mutual.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him walk on at WVU. Griffin is an amazing talent. Fine 2.0. I honestly think as many p5 sniffing around he will get an offer or 2

You mean, they are smart enough to see what we evaluated in an undersized under recruited Fine? So when we offer a kid 2 inches taller they take notice and "re-evaluate" lol sooooo many college coaches scared to be first offer it's embarrassing then come back after a kid has offers and offer him.  See it every year.  Schools come through really like a kid, come up with bs reasons why they don't want to offer, then a month later offer when 3 other schools have offered.

Hope Mr. Griffin sees this, understands it, appreciates what we have done.

This is a win. Probably the best start ton recruiting SL has had so far in his tenure here.

What would excite me more than anything now, would be to get some defensive front seven/six hosses next. But the better the class rating looks overall and early, the more likely recruits want to be a part of it and will feel the pressure to commit early.

Also I still hope Holgorson ends up here. Imagine the amount of attention UNT will profit from, if he turns out to actually be good, which it is completely possible that he is.

What JayD says is more official than anything Vito says or what 247 shows. When it comes to UNT recruiting, that's as official as it gets, outside of coming directly from the recruit.

True dat. If I actually want to know something I know who to ask

p.s also on the Holgorsen situation. He could have a change of heart and reconsider. But as of right now it seems like both parties have moved on. I think Chase Griffin is the #1 Target right now for sure. His leadership, skills and playing style really reminds the staff of Fine.

Yes to Griffin. I would love to see us go all out for that young man, and I am assuming the coaching staff is doing this anyway.

Although true, I too will be watching.

If another 3* (or 4*??) dude comes through showing interest, what do the coaches do?

Something else to think about is us having his teammate, Deonte Simpson, committed to us. If we pull the scholly from Ward, Simpson might feel slighted and back out

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
