Non-Stealth Recruiting

SilverEagle · December 29, 2005

Not only does Tulsa not care who knows what players they are going after, they also show which coach is responsible for bringing that player in for a visit (you have to click page 2 for that information).

It looks like about half of the players that they are going after are here in the metroplex.

Noticed that they signed a O-linemen who is listed at 230. There is such a premium on the beef that it seems most schools are having to go after the smaller guys with good footwork and bulk them up.

Silver if DD was going after these players you would be screaming

Two OL under 265

Three TE under 240

and a DB with 4.7 speed

what the hell do you want???????

True, but that OL is 6'5", so I would assume that he has the frame to add much more weight. NT's 230 lbs. line recruits are all 5' 10" to 6'!

Screaming? Sorry, but you have no idea about what my reaction would be. This is about how one program is much more open with their fans than ours.

However, I will say this. If DD had had the same season that the Tulsa coach has had, then I would assume that the players that he was going after were going to be tough, smart, and disciplined. The size issue would work itself out.

Who the hell are these guys? I don't find them listed on any of the game programs that I purchased this year.

Red shirts that are listed on the Roster

You must have a different roster than I have. I looked on three different programs from this year's season and none of those guys are on them.

Look at the roster on NT's official athletic site.

mad dog · December 29, 2005

They're probably walk-ons. There's a TON of turnover with walkons, so they'll oftentimes get lost in the shuffle.

They're much more likely to be up on the website than on a printed media.

They are listed on the roster on the UNT website, some of the numbers are duplicates.

UNT's nonexistant or poor showing in the Top 100 lists takes a greater toll on our image to recruits and alumni than losing a couple announced recruits to theft.

Stan R · December 29, 2005

So we have a 6-3 320lb walkon olineman then?

Well, we may or may not. In light of how forthcoming the athletic dept is with information, this guy might have left the program months ago.

The list I see shows Rice, U-h, SMU and UNT with 0

TCU and UTEP with 1

I've said it before and I'll say it again...Truth and logic have no place on this board, stop it!!!

UNACCEPTABLE! HIGHER EXPECTATIONS!

December 29, 2005

The starting five the last couple of games averaged 6-3 1/2 and 288 pounds. By today's standards, that's definitely below average for Division 1-A.

The player left off of the list was the lightest starter, Joel Foster, who only weighs 268. Lineberry was the only 300 pound starter and also was considered our best lineman.

If they should happen to move (the JUCO All-American) Stanley to center next year, it's possible that he could be the only sub-300 pounder in the starting line next year. The guards and tackles MIGHT be Lineberry, Venegas, Brown and Banks and would be our heaviest line ever. However, the second string line would be light, with three @ 285 or less.

I noticed that this years All-American team has a center who is 6'3" X 285. I think we could get by with a 285lb center.

I just hope that most of our O-lineman and all of our D-lineman spend a great amount of time in the weight room during the off season.
