So will this give us 3 or 4 new WR's for next season?

********************************************

You would believe from board comments that DD is just signing and stockpiling WR after WR. As of right now NT has LOI from 2 JCs and 1 HS...to replace 5 WR's who are gone from last years team.

1. Sam Dibrell quit the team

2. Marcus King chose to leave

3. Fitzgerald graduated

4. Brock Stickler graduated

5. Kory Washington told to leave

6. Evan Fentriss....didn't play couldn't overcome injuries...don't know if he should count here...assuming he can play next year?????

*************************************************************************************

I may be having trouble reading, but how many of these three will be able to contribute on the DL?

Another obvious question and answer:

I can't blame NT for not only trying to land DT's. but quality DT's ...ie highly sought after...I can remember off hand 7-3* JC's that NT offerred....one Atkinsin...who is still committed...but can't sign until February for delivery next Fall. It seems the APR losses ( which resulted from DD's last 3 classes) limited the number of Dec committments NT has available, NT received a commit from one they wanted...but he is not lost yet...just not a Dec grad.

Hardly any news on other offers for Outlaw. He's also listed at 5-10, 190 onthe team roster...probably in reality a 5-8 or 5-9 kid who weighs in the 170s.

My worry now is that we're taking JUCO who may not qualify academically. There are always reasons guys don't sign or show, but with JUCO - amazing as it is - it's usually academic.

I don't know why Outlaw didn't have more offers but I'd guess that he made it clear from the gitgo that he wanted to go to Mississippi State (he is from Starkville). That may have caused others to back off when you have only one school on your preferred list.

He was the 12th ranked JUCO receiver with more catches (5) and more yards (176) than Jamaal Jackson.

As we know from Horton, Edwards, et al, academics can be a detriment to recruiting JC players. It's having an effect on the Atkinsin signing and maybe some of the ones that we wonder why there are no LOIs from comitments or offers to others who have us on their preferred list.

Kudos to Coach Gandy, who is doing a very good job on the Mississippi JC recruits.

Mississippi State has a commitment (and may have signed) Outlaw's teammate....WR Leon Berry.

DD, as in Darrell Dickey??!??!!??!?! I haven't been on gmg much lately but I hope we haven't hired Dickey back, have we??

Regarding Fentriss, it was my understanding that he gave up football completely and won't be back next year.

      PAC is back

      I grew up with "Eagles" and have never liked " Mean Green ", because we are not mean [look at our football record ] and not green [ we have an underfunded athletic department.] I agree with lack of media contracts as a deal breaker but don't know if we would want the travel required for all sports anyway. The BIG MOUNTAIN WEST podcast brought the subject up stating that the PAC and Texas State were in serious discussions and if they came then UNT or UTSA would be their next logical target so you may want to watch it. I don't have an opinion as I am really surprised that NIU joined the MWC for football only. According to the MAC bylaws you must have all your programs in the conference in order to be a member. Unless they change them then NIL's best option appears to be the MVC for all other sports but who knows.

      Nice Article: Maintaining Success

      as a lot of big time coaches have said... if you want to immediately improve your team, getting everyone's effort levels up will do that... Since McCasland started his run, the Mean Green have been all about effort, and Hodge has done an excellent job of transitioning into the HC role. It's been talked about ad nauseum, but the Mean Green have an identity. The identity is f*ck you, you aren't going to get easy passes, be able to breathe with the ball in your hands and you're going to be complaining to the refs all game about how physical the team is. It's going to be ugly, and we are betting that we are going to be better than you in the last five minutes of the game. Credit to Hodge for bringing in the right players to keep this thing moving forward. I am looking forward to the rest of the season and hoping for some hardware

      SMU 's New Facility

      the facilities look great. Unfortunately, unless things change around Denton quickly, the reality is that SMU is playing a completely different game than the Mean Green, good luck to you, but i don't know why you are coming on here to post topics of a team you probably won't play again for a long time... (maybe basketball) Good luck to you.
