I spoke with Cibolo Steele defensive tackle Corey Hill this afternoon. He has yet to commit and will wait to take visits to UTEP during the week and Memphis next weekend before making a decision.

Right now UNT is in a dogfight with Stephen F. Austin. The problem is Hill is still holding out hope that TCU will offer.

I get the impression that if the Frogs enter the picture, UNT exits stage left. It's hard to blame the guy if that is the case considering TCU busted the BCS while UNT finished 2-10.

Memphis and UTEP still have a dog in the fight and could land him as well. UTEP already snatched Javia Hall from UNT and Memphis has a lot to offer.

Will Wright Jr. visited Louisiana-Monroe this weekend. I don't have any way to get him on the phone and nothing has come out indicating what he will do.

Denison quarterback Jordan Taylor was supposed to be facing a Sunday deadline to stick with Rice and play wide receiver or flip to UNT to play quarterback. Rice was supposed to have a Plan B receiver in place.

Taylor isn't picking up his phone, but it is interesting to note that Rice picked up a commitment from Mario Hull out of South Texas. Was Hull the Plan B guy Rice was going to give Taylor's scholarship to? I have no idea at this point, but that certainly could be the case. Hull did commit Sunday morning.

Todd Dodge is a great closer. How he convinced Austin Fitzpatrick to pass on an offer to go sit on the beach with Howard Schnellenberger and join the long list of tight ends that Florida Atlantic has cranked out to play in an offense where the position is nothing more than a rumor is beyond me.

Landing Taylor would be right up there with Dodge's best sales jobs. UNT has Riley Dodge back for three more years and Derek Thompson back for at least that long. There is also the matter of the potential to pick up a Rice degree.

Kudos to Dodge if he can pull this one out of the hat.

One other tidbit of note is Honey Grove athlete Zack Patt pass on an offer to play for the Mean Green to play for, you guessed it, Rice.

There is one weekend left in the recruiting season and it is starting to look likely that UNT is going to pull out a middle-of-the-pack class in the Sun Belt, despite losing Hall. It's definitely a solid effort by UNT, which has been stuck at the bottom of the league standings for the last three seasons.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      Is Tulsa a "third tier" opponent? We had a better crowd for the SFA game. Outside of being the first game of the year, I would expect Tulsa to be the bigger draw.

      Helund thrown out of UTSA-NT game

      Entertaining game. Curious to know the details of the Hedlund ejection. Pretty physical game. Sorry to hear the team didn't come over and acknowledge the crowd. The King goal to tie it up was a thing of beauty.

      #69: North Texas Mean Green

      Great read and excellent analysis including breaking down all of the new players and how they should fit. I was surprised to not see Alex Cotton mentioned, as I feel he has a bright future as well. It will be fun to see this team take the court, as I think we have the potential to be better than last year.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      Ho hum third tier opponents don’t attract fans to Denton. Been that way for years. People in the Metroplex will come to see name brand opponents, it’s been proven. We don’t get them and when we get them we usually blow it.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      @untbowler makes it sound like Morris either isn't showing up or is leaving the coach's show early and doesn't interact with the fans. You claim his has been outstanding, and I have no point of reference except the comments on here. So which is it, has he been outstanding, as you state, or terrible as "bowler" states? Regarding attendance, I have to commit a full weekend to attend since I live 5 hours away. Honestly, if I lived in the DFW area and we were a one loss team, I would have been there Saturday. I was shocked at how empty the student side was after their showings at the early home games. They just have to trot across campus to attend.
