UNT appears to have landed Hamilton

I have not talked to James Hamilton yet today, but it appears as if the Cedar Hill athlete who projects as a safety in college has decided to stay close to home and play for North Texas instead of committing to Kentucky.

I heard Hamilton has made up his mind from a collegue who talked to his his high school coach today. Check back on the blog. If I get confirmation, I will post it as soon as I can.

Rivals says we got him! Wasn't he previously a two star? Now he's three...

I don't think we've landed anybody until February.

Yea, you're right, but we do have a quantity of quality VERBAL COMMITTMENTS and that's somethin' we ain't had in the past. B)

Here's a little snippet from a scout article back in October after he'd taken his official visit to Kentucky. He actually witnessed them beat LSU and all of that craziness. That was when Kentucky was really hot in the polls and he still didn't committ. Nice.

The University of Kentucky hosted only two players on official visits on Saturday, both from Cedar Hill High School in Texas.

Osaze Idumwonyi made his commitment public yesterday, but teammate James Hamilton was the more heavily sought after recruit.

How did the talented defensive back like his trip to Kentucky?

"It was real fun," Hamilton said. "We went to the game. We had a good time there. We visited some of the facilities - the weight room, the locker room, the training room and some of the dorms. It was pretty good experience."

Among his dozen scholarship offers, Hamilton will pick from Rice, North Texas, Washington State, Louisiana Tech, SMU and Kentucky. His trip to Lexington was his first official visit.

"They certainly moved up on my list," Hamilton said. "They impressed me, but they've always been in my top three schools for the most part. Now that I've been up there, they have moved up."

The game was particularly special for the Texas native because LSU features several players he was familiar with. The Tigers roster is heavily polluted with players from his area.

Say what? I'm guessing the writer meant "heavily populated"??

Agree. And I like announcing the committments in public (not stealth). I believe it lets other recruits see our progress and other boards have recruit-envy! :P

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      Agree Mosley is a bad hire, the guy doesn't show any emotion and passion for UNT. Quite frankly, he's boring

      Honest tactical question here…

      Well MK, we have been running the damn ball. I believe I'm correct in stating that our leading rusher is Shane Porter, a 186lb WR transfer with (near as I can tell) a bum shoulder from Kansas State. He averages 7.2 yards per carry. McGill averages 5 yards per carry, and occasionally Sibley (#21) gets into the game. None of these guys was a starter in the beginning of the season. We have lost the services of Ragsdale, a very promising D. Harris (#44) who averaged 8.8 yards before he got injured, and Evans (#26) who was averaging 6.4 before he was injured. We have rushed for 1737 yards, and our opponents have put up 2269. Although sometimes it seems like much more. All things considered; I'd say that (except for very short yardage) we were running the ball pretty good. And this doesn't even take into account how many starting linemen we have lost since the first game of the season. What I think would have made almost as much difference as anything for us would have been the presence of 3 or 4 effective run disrupters in the middle of our defense.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      A long time ago, when I was younger and Harry was running this board on a different setup with a guy named "Scotty" -- he just threw his hands up and said "I'M OUT." In my younger and more idealist vision, why would he do that? Why can't UNT be that sleeping giant and be TCU that invigorates their program? I went with @Cerebus to grab some tickets from Scotty since he wasn't going to use them anymore and I could definitely talk someone to use them. He was a normal guy, not angry, not a monster, just a dude. A dude who wanted to use him time and money elsewhere. Still, as an more mature and realist, I still don't know why not UNT. But I get Scotty. This AD is terrible. Moseley and his C-suites are terrible hires. Wren wasn't good. At that VERY least with RV he made the fans like us feel heard and appreciated. RV definitely had his faults and I was not a big fan. Chief Revenue Officer. LOL. General Manager. LOL.

      Stupid post. What you want us to become a craphole like UTA? I question your allegiance for even asking that.

      You make some great points. I am starting to think we need a Doge type of audit of the AD. We have a HUGE AD budget compared to similar AAC schools and are not getting results.
