Let's not forget the "Let's wait and see what's left." approach UNT took last year in the portal... 

Seems to me, NT did pretty well in the portal.

As far as the "wait and see approach", not sure how you would know when and how many portal players were analyzed and recruited by NT.

They stated that was their plan after having signed 8 players in early signing:

ON HAVING LESS SIGNEES THAN PAST YEARS AT THIS POINT:

“It was a good start, we have a long way to go until February. Again, it’s a little different this year. I think for the past few years we’ve been done at this point, but with the landscape it’s gone to you always want to have enough scholarships left over to make sure you find the best players. There’s going to be a ton of great players out there in January leading into February signing day. I think you can get some steals, I really do, because of how the recruiting’s gotten. There’s more players that are going to go unsigned this year than in a lot of different years at the high school level. That’s just where we’re at. Continuing to evaluate and finding needs and I think you’re going to get some really good football players in January and the February signing day.”

 

 

 

They only added 5 more in February, hoping to land some surprise recruits with left over scholarships.

That was their plan to save ships for more players that might go to the portal at a latter date.  I don't think there was a strict time to enter the portal as there is now.

I think it's pretty clear they were hoping some surprise names would be left out by the bigger schools and UNT would swoop in and snag them. It didn't work out, and if you go back to that time people were pretty unhappy with recruiting to put it lightly.

      I mean, seriously, we have like 40+ years of seeing basically the same thing here. What’s been the constant? A university that actively strangled athletics funding for decades. A university that graduates teachers, musicians, and artists, as well as commuters. That’s not exactly an easy group to connect with, much less squeeze real money from. Face it, athletics at big time places are funded by engineering, business, science, and medicine.

      It’s the type of student. Education and liberal arts. I don’t think it’s a mystery. now, changing that? No easy answer.

      Wichita State (1/29/25)

      Wichita State fan forum...some comments about our upcoming game tomorrow evening.... https://shockernet.net/forum/wichita-state-athletics/wichita-state-men-s-basketball/1470855-north-texas-15-4-at-wichita-state-11-9-game-discussion-jan-29-wed#post1470981 I'll be interested as to what the spread is. Honestly, I kind of hope they win. I've never had any issues with North Texas and they're definitely a team that can get into the tournament and I'd honestly like to see that. **** Memphis, but I respect North Texas. North Texas is probably my second favorite AAC team. They defend well and play hard - much like WSU of old. They have an outside shot at getting an at-large if they can manage to essentially win out (the AAC really sucks this year). Ross Hodge is also a better coach and recruiter than Paul Mills - all while making a few hundred thousand dollars less per season. Knowing a little about North Texas I feel like we have a much better shot at upsetting a team like Memphis who plays out of control with no discipline. A well coached team with talent should own us at this point. Originally posted by JVShocker View Post Over under on actual attendance? Anyone? I would think maybe a little better since this is a good team. Maybe 5k.

      Very much confusing. There has to be a consulting group (?) that would investigate why our students, alums, and locals are not as passionate towards the school and it's athletic teams as we feel they should be. What is missing; what can be done to push them into becoming passionate fans?
