This was a good recruiting day for North Texas. We may not have pulled in the top recruiting class in the AAC, but we certainly improved the talent on our roster today. According to 247Sports, we finished the day with the 6th best AAC class (in the top half of the conference). That is better than every recruiting class in the Sun Belt & C-USA today. We also finished with a better class than all but 1 MAC program and all but 3 MWC programs. I hate that we lost some really good talent in recent weeks, but this haul seems like a big step towards rebuilding our plundered offense. But, I think defense remains a big question mark until we actually see improvements on the field next season.

Correct it can all change in the spring, by my calculations (I could be wrong) we have 3 scholarships left again I could be off.  You can sign however many scholarships you have available. 

 

The catch, you have to balance your roster so you aren't stuck with 80 Freshman and RS Freshman and 5 Seniors.  You must constantly manage and manipulate your roster to stay as balanced as you can.

Thanks!

They have like 6 HS guys to rate that is screwing our standing.

 

Haven't rated any of our transfers...

If you look on 247 sports and the combined rankings UNT is currently 77th, before most transfers and some HS are rated. What is more eyepopping though is that UNT has 41 commits. That is more than any other program. By some margin. Next is TCU with 35.

I don't think that is either a good or a bad thing, but its noteable. If they had a ranking of transfering out classes, then I think UNTs transfer out class would also rankg pretty highly among G5, because of both the size but also the quality of the top part of that class. If you lose talent you need to bring in new players with talent, or otherwise you are really cooked. So this is necessary. But it is a looot of turnover. We can probably agree that ought not to make UNT fans worry about the defense as it can really almost only improve. Still, usually time spent together in the same system is usually important on defense. And they sure have the pieces to keep humming on offense. But last season it took 3 games to iron out the kinks there too. That much turnover makes it feel like it might again.

We are now alone in 5th place , just about 5 points behind Memphis. Tulsa is #2, and sighed 10 of top 100 in DFW

Thanks. Long snapper is a very critical position. We have had some very good ones.

Yeah everyone will be mad with this offer, but when you have a LS who is an issue then everyone wants to blame someone.  Good for the staff for identifying this area of need and addressing it the best way they know how, with a scholarship for the young man.

If he earned a scholarship than more power to him. All 3 phases of the game need to be working like a well oiled machine to have a winning program, and LS is a big piece for special teams. Good for him for putting in the work and getting a scholarship imo

I think this is a good haul. I was not too worried about the offense. It was the defense I was worried about. If we got the defensive players we wanted and the defense is still last or is in the bottom 20, then Caponi is the problem and not the players.

Is my math correct in that we signed four defensive linemen, and all of them are coming from high school?

Your math is excellent.

technically 5 but one signed as OL, they're projecting into DL room.

Who is that?

I believe it is the Braswell OL signee.  He is a very big framed kid, with long arms and I think they're wanting to get bigger inside on the DL.  I believe this to be a project but they always say you can't coach size.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.

      MAC BROWN

      Hes 73 and will not coach forever... That said, if you can bring him in and have him coach just a couple seasons to get the program on the right track before retiring and handing it off to someone he has trained as his replacement.
