NT will lose 3 Seniors based on their SR. status last year...If any of these have injuries that will extend their elgility ...if anyone knows of an injury that any of the seniors has please post that information...same for returning DT's. If anyone is aware of an NT offer please post that information. I did not include Sean Brown, he is left off because his weight is only 245 lbs...could be a DE?

Shavod Atkinson

Jesse DeSoto

Kelvin Jackson

NT will return the following:

Kyle White, 6-2, 309, WB Jr

Richard Abbe, 6-4, 357, WB RS Freshman

Tevin Cantley, 6-4, 336, WB Jr or rs FR?

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

NT has offers open for the following recruiting 2011 season:

JCDT Tony Gillespie, Coffeyville CC , 6-2, 296

JC DT Ronnel Wright, Butte CC, 6-3, 275, 4.9

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

NT has a commitment from Emela Okafor, Sunnyville HS, 6s-5, 320 who played Nose Guard on defense as well of OT, and played Shot put in track events. I would image he will be red shirted.

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

There was talk last year that LaChris Anyian Allen HS freshman 6-4, 292, was going to be tried at DT don't know if that is still open..he was a RS freshman.

This doesn't consider any prospects that we don't have a known offer on or that NT is recruiting that we are not aware of at this time.

Reply: I guess it depends upon the date you look at information...I see today that he no longer lists interest in NT. I hope this is not true.

What happened to Tyler Washington from Cedar Hill and Kyle White from New Orleans that were in the 2009 signing class? Both were defensive linemen.

Washington left the team. White returns but saw limited or no action last year. He was not credited with a tackle.

This is a panic situation. Cantly and Abbe supposedly have some potential but Cantly had two tackles last year and Abbe one. We have two prospects from the JUCO ranks...Wright and Thompson. Kyle White returns but he is an unknown. Anyiam is the only other defensive lineman large enough to play DT. We need the six mentioned above and some good coaching to get us through this crisis.

We were in a similar situation 3 yrs ago when we got Shavod and a couple other big DT's... But nonetheless, definitely an urgent situation, which I'm sure Dan is well aware of.

I have faith that there will be at least 1 Juco signing, possibly 2, to remedy this scene and allow us a full year to go find a HS DT to develop for the long term.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
