Bill Belichick visits draft prospect at Middle Tennessee St.

[UNT18Grad]

Pretty interesting and unusual for Belichick to make an appearance like this at a "small" school for a player who wasn't invited to the combine.  Thought it was worth mentioning as they are a conference opponent and since Hamilton had a better 2019 than him, but I know that doesn't always mean better NFL success.  I don't always follow our pro days or work outs closely but have we ever had someone who is a big name like this come watch a UNT player in Denton?

Very cool. Nice to see that the top talent evaluators believe the smaller schools have gems.

And, we care...why?  Now, if he went to visit Ladarius or came to see Mason...I'd care,. but Middle? Nah!

I wish people would stop saying smaller schools.   Middle Tennessee's enrollment is over 20k.   It drives me crazy when people call NT a smaller school.   

My ex-wife told me I was full of crap, when I told her that NT was larger than OU (her alma mater).    Even after showing her the numbers, she refused to believe it.   So, I divorced her (well, it was really for other reasons).

It just goes to show what football does for a schools perception.
