He has gone pretty silent on social media about recruiting, I'm guessing right around the time his qualification status came into question so it's hard to follow, but have we actually offered?  He has never posted anything from us, and nothing is shown on recruiting sites.  I know that doesn't rule anything out, but you would think if he was seriously considering UNT he would have said at least one thing.

Reality here is that a kid who at one point was down to schools like A&M, Clemson, LSU and Bama would likely only come to UNT if we were one of the only ones giving him a chance.  It sounds like for a little while that may have been the case, but if he can get a P5 school to take a shot I think he's gone.  Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Hopefully he will look back and see how the other schools backed away and how Seth and crew stayed.

Tin foil hat time- Coach Littrell posted "Go Mean Green" on Twitter Sunday night, this tweet was "liked" by Jonathan Pickett (DE who had some P5 offers fall through and was also visiting this weekend), maybe one or both of these guys committed over the weekend?  Coach usually doesn't just randomly say something like that and most of his tweets are tied to recruiting in some way.  Wishful thinking?

Edit- Here's what Walerius had to say after the weekend..as well as retweeting the mentioned tweet from HC.  The hype is real.

SFA 1 UNT 0 ugh

Wow.  Yes, this has to be grades, so putting SFA 1, UNT 0 isn't accurate.  Kind of surprised he didn't go the JUCO route so he could transfer if he gets his grades in order.  For his sake, I hope he qualifies and gets an education.

I was watching Last Chance U and to see that some of the players that go to Georgia Tech and other schools (which I have always thought was a pretty good school) is so wild.  This poor kids have played football and been passed  along the way in high school.  They are no where near where they need to be academically to enter college.  I give a lot of credit for the teachers trying to help them at the JUCO level.  Texas football needs to worry about the kids education because not many will make it to the NFL and if they do make how long will they be there?   Their education is the future.  

BTW the former head coach is a caveman, he wants his players to change but he won't change his approach to the game.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
