I guess NT should limit recruiting to recruits with little potential, and hope they don't develop.

I don't believe any college sport fan is not aware of NIL and it's disastrous effect on college sports. 

Someone stating after every commitment or signing, the dangers of losing that recruit because of NIL is not necessary.   

I think Jamario was a 4 star and NT has got several JUCO's with that rating, but it has been a long time.

This guy comes in and starts. Worth the effort to sign him up.

I wonder if UNT offered him the chance to play WR/CB and that’s why he picked us. Maybe other schools told him to pick a position. Either way, how awesome!

Which site has him as a 4 star? Not taking anything away from the kid. I really like his film.

85 grade 3 star 24/7

No ranking On3

No ranking Rivals

He put it in his twitter bio but no reference to the ranking.  Could be one of the in state local places that rated him as such.  I don't care what star he is I really like his tape.  He can MOVE

What are the odds that he actually suits up for us? If he has a great senior year, the NIL cash from the big boys will increase. When they say 1000% committed, that is usually the kiss of death.

New forum rule.  There should be NO DISCUSSIONS about kids who commit to North Texas until they sign, suit up, and make a lifetime blood oath. 
 

They might transfer, they might flip their commitment, they might be abducted by aliens.  
 

Shame on some of you for prematurely talking about kids currently committed to North Texas on a North Texas forum.

I agree with other posters, if losing kids to NIL is all that's on your mind, keep it to yourself or rant on another one of other countless doomsday threads.

We had a whole year to lose Cash McCollum and it looks like he'll be suiting up for us.

Read it again. It says 10000% committed. That is 10X more committed than your "kiss of death".

[greenjoe]

I was thinking he could wear #28 until l looked closer.

[UNTLifer]

Like the commitment, at this time, but nothing I've read points to him being a 4 star

Yep….If he’s a standout after a couple of years at the UNT farm club, it’s off to Ole Miss, Georgia, UCLA, or anyone of the other Power 4….such it the state of college football courtesy of NIL, the NCAA and the sports media ! 
 

God bless the coaches who have to tolerate this revolving door after spending their time recruiting and coaching them, only to see them plucked out the nest as they reach their pennacle,

The days of players staying all 4 to 5 years are over, hard to get excited anymore...

I wish the mods would do away with the red down vote.  Or, members giving down votes had to identify themselves.

I wish they’d take care of that after they get the name corrected in this thread title🤣

I will identify myself. I down voted @Big Z. I think I may be more tired of the early doomsday complaints than NIL.

[Green with Envy]

If you aren't excited about the possibilities, then you aren't commitmented as the rest of us.

It's a real thing. A real problematic thing for lil ole schools like us. No need to not bring it up, it's not going away. It will continue to haunt our roster for the foreseeable future.
