No offense because I am sure he is a good kid but why would we add a kid that had no other offers prior to McCarney getting here? This one will be interesting.

He's a good shot blocker and excels academically?

6'-5", 320 pounds fits the mold we need but I am concerned about his playing experience, or lack of, and non-varsity competition. McCarney should be free to do what he needs to do in recruiting and not be handcuffed.

This one is fine with me, the other OL commit though, who won't come back until 2013 is just puzzling though. We need help now, why waste a ship on a guy who won't even report for two freaking years. It just doesn't make sense to me, not at all.

A ship won't count against us until Rawlinson is actually enrolled and on scholarship. He will effectively be part of the 2013 or '14 class, depending on when he returns.

Not sure I buy the fact that we offered this guy. I can't believe our coaching staff was given the authority to get commitments...in the few weeks before the McCarney hire.

He's big and will get bigger. Since that's about 98% of being a good OL then I think he's a good recruit.

No, it's not.

Allow me to introduce you to Nate Jenkins.

Intersting commit for sure. May be a bit of a project and take some adjustment time to get here and get acquainted to the speed, physicality, and complexity of the game. Have to love his body though, and I hope he turns out to be an invaluable part of the MEAN GREEN offensive line down the road!

We definitely need some big bodies, and this is a start. I also like us to get these 6'4"+ offensive lineman instead of the 6'2" guys (no offense Kelvin Drake). That is one of the things I have noticed when we play the AQ teams and even the Tulsa's and Troy's of the world is the "length/height" of their players; beginning with the offensive linemen.

Where does it show him as committed? When I click the link it just says offered?

I see an offer as well but not a commit. Are we in Bizzaro World? 6' 5' 320? I see 255lbs.

I'm also seeing us as the only team offering him, and with him listed at 255 lbs. Until Vito posts it on his blog and our committment page on Rivals lists him, I will just believe that we have offered.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Student turnout is absolutely embarrassing. A Mean Green basketball game should be an absolute EVENT for the student body: even on Christmas break. Most of these kids live in DFW and would enjoy an opportunity to get away from their parents for an evening. An easy connection that has not been made here is with the Greeks. Did you see all the High Point Greek pledges wearing suits to the basketball game when we played them at their place? Why aren’t OUR Greeks competing throughout the season to show the most support for the basketball team/athletic program? The winner gets their letters displayed prominently inside the Super Pit/DATCU, gets their own commercial on the video board and Hell, Mosley should be putting up his own $$ as a cash award to incentivize this. There could be Greek basketball All-Star games at halftime or after our game to encourage attendance and get the whole community out. We gotta find a way to get consistent Greek attendance at these games. And once you have that base of students who are always there, it can turn into a snowball effect.

      N.O. Bowl: SHSU (9-3) vs Ga. Southern (8-4), 6:00pm ESPN-2....UNT's future Defense on display!

      I would imagine that against a true double tight end set or heavier formation he has the ability for that Jack to end up being an actual defensive lineman, but in today's game the need to be able to multiple based on formations, offenses etc. Jack LB's end up being the nice in between. Yeah you give up some on 3rd or 4th and short but the idea is that 1st and 2nd down you keep them in less favorable down and distances by having a more athletic guy on the field. I believe last season nationally the percentages on 3rd and 2 or less was like 68 percent conversion rate offensively. I as much as anyone want to see a defense on the field we can be proud of. Just like the HOD Bowl championship defense. The reality is though if you're living in 3rd and short as a defense you probably aren't getting very many stops.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...

      Would you support UNT Dallas becoming D1 in basketball? Not talking logistics or if it's deserved, just the move.
