Did not see last weekends Junior Day reported in ANY of our area media. The only mention is the short report by Harry that 90 talented players attended. Understand that TD had closed practices while at SLC. Just wondering if it will now be much more difficult to follow the day to day activities and progress of the team ?

You don't think DD left his copy of "Stealth Recruiting" in his desk drawer at his former AC office and Todd Dodge started reading it? :unsure:

Are you serious?

The Mavs are on a 15 game winning streak.

The Stars are playing pretty well.

The Cowboys are signing new players

The Rangers are in spring training

The high school basketball playoffs were going on

The college league finals are happening

A baseball player in Grapevine died from being hit in the head with a baseball during practice.

I could go on and on with bigger stories in sports than a junior day including players that might or might not play D1 ball in 2 years.

Patience might be our best friend this offseason. It's a good thing we have so many other quality sports teams to watch and support this offseason.

That's a good point. Hell, 2 games ago the DRC just mailed it in and used an AP story instead of covering the local team. :angry:

And the term is "Low Observable". :D

Yes I am serious. Normally it would get a mention in the college section of the DMN, probably the Star-Telegram and certainly a mention in the DRC or Vitos Blog as it would be an event in Denton. Also TexasPrep didn't receive any word on the event.

Someone must have heard about it if 90 kids showed up.

Right, but that doesn't mean the press was invited or even notified and there's been no press release or even a mention on the official site.

Vito is not on the UNT-insiders info list. Ever read a quote from RV in one of his articles?

BTW, here are some other Dodge/UNT camps:

I'm aware of those camps, but the Junior Day last weekend still isn't mentioned anywhere. 90 outstanding young athletes on campus and there is zip in print about it, even on the UNT website.

I couldn't find anything about it either. How are these camps advertised? It must have been out well enough in advance for that many kids to show up. Are these Junior Days just general invites to all junior athletes and notices sent out to high schools or are there personal invites given for these?

Yes, It was by invitation only.

And with all those aforementioined listings, MeanMag, more the reason UNT "MUST" not let Todd Dodge, Incorporated :huh::) and all the positive publicity his hiring has begat our school become what UNT Athletics (solely) uses as its main promotion for the 2007 football campaign; or for the 2008 campaign or for the 2009 campaign and so forth so on...

Nothing new for most around these parts, but there is a bit of competition for media attention (and most importantly) the entertainment dollar. Hopefully, UNT never stops trying to solve this problem (which we also share with SMU and TCU FWIW). And wouldn't large group promotions be essential any year/any football season at UNT and that no matter who the ones that are on payroll or are charge in the athletic dept. in Mean Green Country?

Personally can't wait to see what the next new thing our collegiate athletic types come up with for their next new "must do" trend (such as all this "junior" committment business which I personally think is a bit of a stretch bordering on the ridiculous; I mean, when does this become a "sophmore" committment campaign). :rolleyes::no:

It is my understanding attendence was by invitation only, so that is a plus for NT. Never heard of it happening at NT but that doesn't mean it didn't.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      No wonder he was hired! It's the most magnificent resume I've ever seen.

      UNT Athletics | Wilson and Jane Jones Donate $1 Million to Athletics Center Expansion Project

      UNT ATHLETICS: Wilson and Jane Jones Donate $1 Million to Athletics Center Expansion Project Wilson Jones is 1985 UNT graduate DENTON, Texas – Wilson and Jane Jones have donated $1 million to UNT Athletics’ on-going fundraising efforts toward the Athletics Center expansion project, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Tuesday. This $1 million gift helped kick start UNT Athletics' fundraising campaign for the Athletics Center Expansion, which aims to enhance the student-athlete experience through a focus on holistic development both in the classroom and in competition. The expansion will provide state-of-the-art facilities designed to support student-athletes' physical, mental, and academic growth. "I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Wilson and Jane Jones for their continued support of UNT,” Mosley said. “Their belief in the power of sports as a transformational tool has made an incredible impact on our student-athletes. “Through their generosity, they will help us Build Champions and Prepare Leaders long into the future. Their commitment to our mission inspires us every day, and we are proud to have them as partners in this journey. Thank you for believing in our vision and for making a lasting difference in the lives of our student-athletes." The Jones’ gift is the 11th of $1 million or more in UNT Athletics history. Wilson Jones is a 1985 UNT graduate. The family previously donated $5 million to UNT in 2022 to create The Wilson Jones Career Center in the G. Brint Ryan College of Business. He retired as CEO of Oshkosh Corporation in 2021. Jones led the company to a No. 8 ranking on Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies list, a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award for being one of the best places to work, recognition as a Military Friendly Employer by Victory Media and one of Ethisphere Institute’s World’s Most Ethical Companies, as well as a spot as one of The Wall Street Journal's “Best Managed Companies” from 2017 to 2019. “As a proud graduate of UNT, I have seen firsthand the power of higher education and the role athletics plays in shaping the lives and futures of young leaders,” Jones said. “Jane and I are excited to contribute and support the Athletics Center Expansion campaign. UNT had a profound impact on helping me reach my full potential, and we hope this Athletics Center Expansion project will help student-athletes reach theirs.” Jones was named one of the top CEOs of 2018 and was honored with the UNT Distinguished Alumni Award and inducted into the G. Brint Ryan College of Business Hall of Fame in 2021. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size.

      Looks to me like the decimal point is in the wrong place - while still high, $30 for the pizza and $19 for the wings would be more like it. An intentional price override? Was anyone else gouged? I don't know if we'll hear any more about it...

      Great comment. I remember a few years back the coach at northwestern made a comment how one year he was Big ten coach of the year I believe and a year or two later he had a poor season and all of a sudden everybody said he could no longer coach. He turned around the next season and had a good one and also he could coach again. Lot of things going to having coaches be successful. Especially now when you can buy players it can make an average coach look really good and a good coach that can't afford the players going to look bad.
