Athlete (TE/BackupQB) Jarmcus Skillern 6-2, 215, 4.7 Nacogdoches. listed at #87 He lists UTEP, UH, Iowa St, NT, A&M in that order

We are in on one of the "top five" TE's in Texas, and we have two outstanding young TE's in last years signing class , but I would believe, based on in my recruiting analysis) that NT will recruit and try to sign One (1) incoming Freshman TE next spring. biggrin.gif

I saw the other TE that your talking about a couple times last year and then at his schools spring game. He has good size, with room to put on more. At the spring game he had a couple of nice catches including one drive that consisted of just getting him the ball. He would be a great pick up, but he already has an offer on the table from UNC, which might be hard for us to match.

Thats one of the problems with the way that DD conducts things when it comes to recruiting. It would be nice to get a top 5 TE to start off the recruiting sesaon. But thats not how DD does things so its hard for a player to hold of on an offer from someone such as a UNC to wait to pick up offers from the likes of UNT. I know his method also has its positives but thats just one thing going against us.

You know...never looked at it from that perspective. I understand that a UNT showing early interest may alert other, bigger programs to a possible good recruit. However, some players may have a tendency to remain loyal to the schools who showed first interest in them.

I am faithful to the Mean Green...but what would you say if OU might show some interest early on, and then NT comes along in January and says "hey...come on over here".

Hey...maybe the grass is greener on the other side, though...

Get it? We're the Mean GREEN! laugh.gif

"...to the likes of UNT" is the kind of language that I hope a new 35-40,000 seat stadium over at our Eagle Point Campus will help us lose (loose) forever.smile.gif We've all been guilty of thinking that way I think we'd all agree.

Anyone else ever think that here in the Lone Star State that the Texas State 2'nd 100 list (or blue chip recruits 101-200) ain't too shabby a list to recruit from either? rolleyes.gif

It would be an interesting thing to know how successful Texas HS recruits 101-200 have been in college thru the years compared to the Texas state top 100. Of course, I can't recall ever seeing a Texas State Top 101-200 list, either. huh.gif

Plumm I didnt mean "to the likes of UNT" in the way you took it. I meant in more in terms of having a higher profile, school size, conferences, and BCS bowl chances. I'm sure UNT has things leaning in our favor also, such as staying closer to home, and conference rings amongst others. And like NCmeangreeen stated it's tough to wait the entire season for an offer from UNT while one sits on the table from UNC.

      Air Force Serious Target For AAC

      I am sure that I'm in the minority....but I would rather try to keep the AAC intact and build it. To me, changing conferences every 2-3 years is ridiculous.

      Morris needs to own the Caponi hire

      No expert, but a well-coached team has the player in a position to make the plays, and then it becomes the responsibility of the players to make the plays. These players are not even close to being in the proper position to try and make the stops time after time. Games against Memphis, Tulane, and Army really worry me, and I really doubt they will call off the horses as Tech did if they are in that position.

      Wyoming Game Critical

      Huge difference in 3-1 and 2-2 heading into conference play.

      Wyoming Game Critical

      Not to dampen the enthusiasm, but if it's possible, this team (Wyoming) is probably worse on offense than we are on defense. Through 3 games Points per game - 11.3 Passing yards per game - 115 Rushing yards per game - 87 So please, if we do not hold them to less than 225 yards and 14 points, don't start with the "oh, the defense is stepping up" or "wow, Morris and Caponi might be turning it around".

      Players are caught out of position. This defense is built on player-reaction to what they see develop in each play. The obvious solution to an offense against it is to fake and fake and fake again as Tech did all game. Our secondary was caught flat-footed not knowing if the play was an actual run or a fake = burned.
