Interesting Comment On Signing Day Blog

SIGNING DAY CENTRAL

12:15 p,m.

Recruiting has become a year-round process and Coach Dodge and his staff began bringing the 2008 class together early in 2007. Soon after signing day last year, the Mean Green coaching staff began working on the 2008 class. Throughout the spring, Dodge and his staff began the talent evaluation and made the decision to present early offers to players who were just finishing up their junior year of high school. The idea of early offers was met with some trepidation among other Sun Belt Conference coaches, who have always worked under the philosophy that it is better to let the perceived "bigger" schools fill up first and then go after the rest. Dodge and his staff were aggressive from the beginning and did not shy away from battling any school on the players they wanted. Some Sun Belt coaches said they would be interested to see if North Texas could hang on to all of its early commitments and as of this point it is looking as if Dodge and his staff have accomplished what many of his colleagues thought was improbable.

I hadn't heard those comments from the other Sun Belt coaches. But obviously the job Dodge and staff have done holding onto verbal commits is to be commended.
