Some tidbits...

With the eight three-star recruits UNT landed this year, DeLoach now enters the 2010 season with 11 three star recruits on defense. He has the option of replacing every starter in his defensive back seven with a new three-star recruit.

In addition to returning nine defensive starters, he will have the option of starting a three-star recruit at nine of his 11 spots.

Coach Todd Dodge praised the team's new Kicker Zachary Olen for the height he gets on his kickoffs. If that also translates into his field goals, that could potentially help with the blocked kicks issue, although there was a lot more wrong on those blocked kicks than the kicker.

It is likely that at minimum, coverage and returns will improve with this influx of talent putting the other units into better postions.

It is also likely that special teams will not consistently outperform UNT's opponent's units.

UNT's offense should be better than it was in 2009, but the disturbing truth is that it could be worse in 2010 if Canales doesn't learn from his past and take active steps to change. If he doesn't focus on making his offense digestable, things could go badly in Denton.
