Watching kids commit to every other school under the sun and we seem to have gone silent.  Any updates?  Official visits in the future?

Literally.

What is the NCAA Quiet Period? | When is the Quiet Period? (ncsasports.org)

I understand that it is the quiet period.  That is why I mentioned visits "in the future", but commitments sure don't seem to be slowing down.  Per 247, there have been 50+ since July 4th alone.

This is the most quiet UNT recruiting in the month of June and July have been in a long time. 1 recruit in the past 2 months... 3 in total. I know COVID rule is going to probably limit the numbers for 2022, but 3 in July isn't that good and not typical of Seth.

By my count we have 81 players on scholarship and only 8 are seniors. So technically there are only 12 spots open for this class. Obviously there will end up being more than that due to inevitable transfers and players quitting that we always get.

I wonder how many commitments we can really push for right now. My guess is the coaches are going to hold spots for transfers like most coaching staffs are doing now, and with the few spots we have available they probably aren’t in a position to take 15+ commits before the season like they have done in recent years.

The only reason it’s quiet is we haven’t closed the sale.  Sonny Dykes and SMU are lighting it up though. 

You have quite the man-crush on Sonny lately

Ive heard a rumor the number could be in the single digits...

I think this is something we forget.  We had a really young team and then the extra year compounded that as noted by the numbers above.  I hope this doesn't hurt us in the coming years, but there has to be some sort of "roster management" to balance out the numbers.

Yikes. Feel for the 2022 kids. NCAA has to step in and make a rule where transfers don’t count towards the 25-per class limit. Maybe say you get 25 HS/JUCO kids and 10 D1 transfers? Coupled with all these kids getting an extra season, there isn’t enough room in the 25 class spots or the 85 roster spots for 2022 kids.

Correct. We should have 16 redshirt freshmen and 31 true freshmen on this year’s roster. 47 of 81 players on scholarship will be classified as freshmen this season, by my count.

Sure a big chunk of those players will transfer but how many will get replaced through the portal or JUCO ranks by transfers of the same class? We have to gradually even things out the next four years, otherwise you’d be looking at 30 or so Seniors all leaving at once.

Giving players an extra season may have been the right thing to do, but it is complicating things big time down the line. That plus one-time sit-out free transfers all at once has created the perfect storm.

If G5 schools are patient there is a chance some very good HS players could be available at the end. The problem will be will they stay around or will they use G5 schools as a stepping stone.

Yes sir, they are getting screwed worse than 2021.  Schools/Rosters are maxed out.  I am hearing some Universities will be asking kids to move on and seek other options to possibly clear up space.  It is going to get messy.

      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.
