Espn Gives Unt A C-

Zero ESPN 150 prospects

"Todd Dodge's first season at the helm for North Texas was not the most successful. But much like Tim Brewster is doing at Minnesota, he is building excitement around his pass-happy program and boasts a solid 2008 recruiting class to show for it. North Texas did a good job scooping up residual prospects with redeeming qualities who slid through the cracks of more prominent Lone Star State programs. In some cases, North Texas just stole a few away from the big schools. Originally committed to Texas, Dodge's son Riley Dodge (Southlake, Texas/Carroll), rated as the No. 17 quarterback prospect in the country, should greatly assist in the turnaround of the one-time Sun Belt Conference champions. Aside from Dodge, the Mean Green had glaring needs on the entire roster, mainly on a defense. Royce Hill (Houston/Cypress Ridge), who ranked as the No. 31 cornerback prospect in the country, should help a struggling pass defense right away. DaWaylon Cook (Dallas/Samuel Clemons) is one of the best pure athletes in this class and his versatility will be much needed to fill the multiple weaknesses exposed on both sides of the ball in 2007."

Obviously the grading is based on the number of ESPN 150 prospects you sign.

Most importantly they're saying we had the 4th best non-BCS recruiting class in the nation.

Actually, that makes sense, since by any measure, we've been at or slightly below the midpoint of the D1 schools, which suggests that we were at or near a failing level in the pre-Dodge era.
