Why?  What makes you think those that are committed would not sign this month?

I just think any kid thinking they will get a P5 offer will wait to see if something falls in their lap thats all.

My prediction is that they will all sign early.

Several of our commits already have them.   
Now, over time, they may have dried up (seeing as how most of our class was committed prior to the season even starting, and other schools moving on), but there were several guys who committed to us over P5 offers.    Littrell & staff did a great job selling recruits on what's going on in Denton.

When will the podcast actually happen? 

We knew about the team meeting this morning. Just wanted to make sure we knew which direction the team was headed afterwards. We are recording tonight.

What would be a better accomplishment to help recruiting: a bowl win over a P5 school (unranked like we would have played in the HOD Bowl) or a win over a ranked G5 school (like we are playing in the NM Bowl)?

Do you expect Seth staying will hurt or help 2020 recruiting? I get that the obvious answer is that it will help being able to pitch that he turned down a P5 program himself, but will the negative recruiting from other schools saying he’s likely to leave at anytime make things more difficult than they were this year?

I would think we would see the repercussions of this immediately with 19's class.    These kids don't want to sign, maybe use a redshirt, then lose their coach.

Gotta believe Littrell has the right answers for those questions/accusations because they're still coming in for their final OV!

But they’ve been committed for months and are ready to sign. I think it’s a different ballgame when you’re starting from scratch on a recruit and schools like SMU and La Tech are bringing up how close Littrell was to leaving with a recruit who we’ve haven’t already sold and built a rapport with.

True.
Let me tell you a story...
We were getting new windows in our house (still had the original builder grade, single pane windows throughout, so it was time to upgrade).
We called out several different recommended companies, and all of them showed us the same type of tests with their windows that were all virtually the same.   Each of these companies kept talking bad about a different company, always the same one... like they were afraid of them.
So, we called that company.  They came in, did the same tests with the same products but came in $1000's less than the other companies.  The salesman who came, was very matter-of-fact.  He knew he had the right product at the best price for us.  He wasnt worried about what anyone else said about his company.  We signed on with them that day.

I doubt Seth & Co are worried about what Skip or Sonny's crews are saying about us, because they know what they have to offer.

Please feel free to DM me with the name of that company. 1956 Ranch with rice paper windows much like your originals.

If Seth leaves, what % of our commits decommit?

Does the lack of state income tax help with recruitment from other states?

@Harry & @TheReal_jayD, so my second question wasn’t answered.  My guess is that state income tax doesn’t play into recruitment too much, but there is a fundamental question behind that.  How do taxes work into these scholarships?  My understanding is that kids have to pay taxes on the scholarships.   Are scholarships treated as income from a tax perspective?   Heck, this might be a better question for @oldguystudent.   If they do have to pay those taxes, then maybe state income tax would play a role in recruiting lower income players. 

I’ll hang up and listen.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.
