88.7 (ktcu) With Local Sports Writers

eulesseagle · February 8, 2007

I was listening to KTCU (88.7 FM) this afternoon and their press conference with Coach P. After the run down on the recruits the sports writers and the individual from Rivals.com gave some objective comments on SMU and UNT.

Concerning UNT they were impressed with Coach Dodge's ability to recruit all over Texas and his raport with many H.S. coaches in the state. They believed UNT picked up an "excellent" recruiting class this year and see the trend continuing for the next several years, if he stays. Concerning his son at SLC they stated that they do not know if he would attend UNT but no one knows for sure at this time. If Riley were to get recruited by another program he may not play quarterback because he is such an athlete. He may end up as a safety.

When TCU's Coach Peterson was discussing his class and recruits he called them "Paper Tigers" because he does not know what he has until they play. He stated in his system he can convert running backs to linemen like he has done in the past with his current program. He said many of today's high school players have played multiple positions and because they were a running back or defensive back in high school that does not necesitate were they are going to play in his system.

Peterson also talked about getting "sleepers." For example he said L.T. (who plays for San Diego) was only offered one D-1 scholarship.

Anyway, to make a long story short the local media including Rivals.com believed UNT has an excellent recruiting class this year.
