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.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.
