Football: UNT picks up JUCO OL Stanley

09:31 AM CST on Wednesday, December 21, 2005

By Brett Vito / Staff Writer

North Texas’ pipeline from Coffeyville Community College paid dividends again on Tuesday when the Mean Green landed their biggest and possibly most decorated player thus far in recruiting.

Trent Stanley, a 6-2, 290-pound offensive lineman, confirmed Tuesday night that has orally committed to play for UNT. Oral commitments are non-binding. Junior college players can sign binding national letters of intent beginning today.

Stanley was a second-team NJCAA All-American in addition to being selected first-team All-Jayhawk Conference. He is the third Coffeyville player to commit to join UNT’s 2006 recruiting class.

Stanley is a really big commit as he will probably step in and start at guard. NT will look like this on the line:

T Jeremy Brown(Junior) / Ajani Banks(Freshman-RS)

G Dylan Lineberry(Senior) / Adam Venegas(Junior)

C Chad Rose(Sophomore) / Brian Amacker(Junior)

G Trent Stanley(Junior) / Jack Crumes(Freshman-RS)

T Joel Foster(Senior) / Josh Alexander(Junior)

I don't know if this is true of not but I heard that Stanley can play center also. I wouldn't be surprised if Banks cracks the starting lineup somewhere. He has great size that is desperatley needed on the front.

I do not want to sound pesimistic but "remember" last year our OL could not open the holes, pass protect, could not remember the snap counts and had too many holding penalties.

You can have size and no talent!! Back in the late 70's and early 80's Permian always had undersized linemen but the coaching staff stressed "fundamentals" and the undersized linemen made up for their weight defiencies with "talent." FB is not always "smash-mouth."

IMHO, this year, our coaching staff needs to stress "fundamentals" more than ever. Last year was too frustrating on:

1. OL not being able to pass block

2. OL not being able to open the holes

3. OL having too many penalties

We have the talent on the OL but no discipline/fundamentals.

FB is not always "smash-mouth." 

As long as we run the ball as much under the Dickey offense, then we better have some size and talent to move the defensive linemen out and create holes for JaMo. A 275 pound tackle may have some problems moving a 345 pound defensive tackle. Example: So. Miss vs. North Texas in last years NO Bowl.

My point is that if we can not get the "big/fast/smash-mouth" linemen and can only get, what appears to be "2-star" players then it is imperative that the coaching staff teach finese' and technique (basics) to keep the linemen from all the holding calls because they can not pass block or open holes for the runners.

Last year we witnessed poor coaching techniques that led to all the above problems.

But the thing is we didn't have size either. We had a starter who weighed 268 lbs!! Stanley along with Lineberry sounds like a pretty good start to the O-line.

The same player weighted 262 the year before,started and did a heck of a job.

Sounds like a good recruit, but I'll wait to lavish praise on any of them until I see them produce.

It doesn't look like Stanley has ever played center, but that he may be tried there.

“The coaches have told me that I will play guard or center,” Stanley said. “I have never played center before, but I would be willing to give it a try if they ask me to.”

That sounds like the coaches weren't too happy with Rose's performance last year.

Will he sign today and be eligible for spring practice?

Stanley is listed as a 2 star recruit by Rivals.com, 6' 2"/ 290lbs/ 5.3 40. I wonder how many stars he would have garnered had he signed with Kansas State?

All of the mid-term signings will be eligible for Spring ball which is actually about 2 months away.

345 pound defensive tackles are rare even in the NFL. Booger was one of the few extremely effective guys at (or around) that weight that I have seen in the college game. I would definitely like to see us with a LEGITIMATE 290-300 lb. OL. One more good 300 lb. JC guy might get us close next year. Size inflation ran rampant in Denton this past season.

I think it has happened more than this past season. My wife has been know to accuse me of this, and we are going on 12 years together/10 married. laugh.gif

At 6'2 290 he brings some much needed beef to the line. I had a chance to watch some od his clips on rivals, he had 3 all about 1 min. long. I came away very impressed with him. Pass blocking, run blocking, getting his original block and moving on to the lb. Can you say All-Conference.

I wouldn't be surprised if Banks cracks the starting lineup somewhere. He has great size that is desperatley needed on the front.

He (BANKS) will start somewhere, either right tackle or left tackle. Brown was listed as a starter at the beginning of the season, but rode the bench quite often towards the end of the season. I think Banks probably starts there. Then again, with Foster only pushing 268, maybe Brown is your guy

With Lineberry, Banks and this new recruit, we have some size now.

I would say it shakes out the following:

T - Banks 325 lbs

G - Stanley 290 lbs

C - Rose 285 lbs

G - Lineberry 310 lbs

T - Brown 299 lbs/Foster 268 lbs

... and then you can still throw in Venegas somewhere in there.

Things I believe are definately looking up ladies and gents!

One thing is for sure for next season. Rose needs to step up.

Finally, someone hit the nail on the head and it only took around 20 posts. Rose was the key to the failure of last years line. He was plagued by missed assignments, bad blocking, and just all around poor play on the line. You would have see an entirely different team last season had Brewster played. If next years team is going to get going on the ground and have time to pass he is going to be the key. It all starts at center. He needs to be a leader on the line not just a guy on it. I will admit Rose played much better at the end of the season, but was still not where he needs to be by any stretch.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
