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.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      Opps! Jim Hobdy created the UNT Battle Flag in 1986 and WAS NOT involved with Rick Spear's design of the flying worm which was adopted by Hayden Fry and used during his tenure.My bad. It is a shame that we didn't stick with it and it certainly separated us from any other eagle mascot. However if you google history of Mean Green knickname you will find the credit for its universal usage by UNT attributed to Rick Villareal, not Hayden Fry.

      I don't think Hayden did this. Perhaps you could provide some reference as I can't recall the term "mean green " applying to our team as a whole until the 2000's. Yes the eagle is our mascot and mean green is the nickname of our team. Also I believe Jim Hobney [sic] was also involved in the creation of the flying worm bet can't exactly remember how. Maybe you know.

      This is a big game for Elf

      I agree with most all you say, but I don't think Coach has his team here yet. Everything is not yet fixed (ie defense). If he can elevate the Defensive play (ie new DC and bigger, better players) to match the Offense, then we will have something! Sorry, we are still a work in progress!

      This is a big game for Elf

      We have lost 4 of the last 5 against this program, 5-7 overall. UTSA has been playing FBS football since 2012. Since 2013, we have been in a conference with them. Through last season, they are 72-65. They've won 2 conference titles and have gone 1-4 in bowl games, while also being ranked. They've had three coaches. In the same category above, we are 63-71. No conference championships and have gone 1-6 in bowl games. We have had 4 head coaches. If we lose to them tonight, Morris will basically tell us that he just isn't going to be able to lift this program higher than it was when he took it over. UTSA in 2024 is not good. They're 4-5, with wins over Kennesaw State, Houston Christian, FAU, and (somehow) Memphis. Not counting having to sacrifice themselves to UT-Daddy, they've lost 4 games against peer programs, Texas State, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa. Maybe I'm wrong, but we should beat these guys, even on the road at a place that has been a house of horrors for us, if we have the right coach leading us. This is one of those games that will tell us in our hearts if we have someone worth a damn as the head coach or if he's no different than everyone else we always hire here.
