70. North Texas Mean Green

ESPN 300 commits: 0 | Previous ranking: 70

 

Top offensive commit: WR Mason Ferguson (three stars)

 

Top defensive commit: DE Jaedon Langley (three stars)

 

With their first full class, Eric Morris and staff were active on the recruiting trail and smartly leaned on the deep pool of talent in the state. A one-time Arizona commit, Langley was a key in-state win and gives them a defensive lineman with a good frame, get-off and agility to develop in the trenches. Zhaiylen Scott was another good in-state addition to their defensive front. He lacks some in ideal height at roughly 6-feet, but is an explosive player with a good motor. Morris, who has a background of leading productive offensive units, added potential playmakers including Ferguson, a fluid receiver with good length and speed and as a senior had 13 TD catches and averaged over 20 yards-per-catch. Kiefer Sibley is a compact, all-purpose type back and proved he can be productive, rushing for over 1,800 yards with 24 TDs his senior season.

71 through 75 is San Diego State, Baylor, Memphis, Arizona, and UCLA in that order.

Other AAC schools in the top 75:

Tulane at 69, Tulsa at 60, and USF at 53. 

Edit to add our ESPN recruiting page. Worth noting, we have 4 DL rated as 3 stars per ESPN including 2 at DT. 26 of our recruits are ESPN 3 stars.

So far Tulsa has sighed 12 high school recruits from Dallas. Whoever their recruiter is should be on our radar.

We are above the schools ranked 71-75 only because our class size is bigger. They all have a higher average player ratings than we do.

They don't do average class ratings on ESPN unless I just can't find it.

Class breakdowns:

UNT 30 Commits, 26 3-star recruits

San Diego State 27 commits, 16 3-star recruits

Baylor 16 commits, 13 3-star recruits

Memphis 34 commits, 19 3-star recruits

Arizona 17 commits, 1 4-star, 10 3-star recruits

UCLA 10 commits, 2 4-star, 8 3-star recruits

Your argument certainly stands for UCLA who has a very small HS class. Arizona's is smaller than traditional 25 recruit classes but their 3 star ratio is not very good. Baylor is smaller than traditional as well, 3 star ratio is better. Memphis and SDSU have the numbers but not the stars. Again, all per ESPN but ours is stacking up just fine.

Any signings at all or worth mentioning?

Honestly, I have no idea.  Things have certainly changed from when we'd be checking gmg.com all morning of signing day to find out who had sent in their LOIs and what surprise signings popped up.

Forney DL Tristan Bennett is a new add. Maybe a walk-on but he was very productive at Forney. Nicknamed Tank Bennett. 1st Team all district at 6'00" 250. Forney went to the state semi finals this past season and their defense was a huge part of it.

Rivals has him at 5'11" and 255lbs.

Hudl at 6'0" 245lbs.

Regardless of who is right, he is going to have to put on quite a bit of good weight.

Is today the spring signing day?

It is the Spring Signing Day.  Early Signing day was back in December and when Most colleges try and wrap up the class so they can move to the next class during the January period

Yes, he's a walk on. Pretty good tape, but like others said he will need to add some weight. 

Will be fun to watch how he develops with a diet and workout plan.  I can’t see him playing the nose for us in this d, but could definitely put on the needed weight for an end.

    1. 137

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      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.
