According to ESPN Freddy Warner and Kerry Swarn are our top 2...ranking don't mean much, but that makes me feel a little better.

I've come to realize the euphemism "it is what it is" actually means:

you just got f*cked, nothing you can do about it, might not even be fair, but it's not worth talking about anymore.

Committments backing out and going other places. It is what it is.

your right swarn and power are great players and im glad we have them, but power is juco, and swarn isnt a linebacker.... Hunt looks like a grown ass man ready to smash someone in the face.... woulda been nice to have him .... still happy about the class though

Not to worry everyone, but did you see the decommit of the now auburn cb? Formerly tx tech... hopefully tech burned that bridge with warner by ignoring him for 4 months or so.

this is definitely disappointing but hey thats what happens when you have a first year coaching staff. Regardless, this is still a great class for UNT. It will only get better after this season especially after racking up some good wins

I think Zach Orr will be fine, and I would love to see Prior moved back to LB also. My greatest concern is experience at DT and some added depth for the OL.

I'd like to see that as well... Stojkovick (sp?) could be an immediate contributer here.

Oline depth and DT is still my main area of concern. When you steal things from others, you should only expect to have things stolen back from you. Not a karmic reference at all.

Do you think, in light of our 3-4 decommits this year, we'd be better off keeping them on the hush, and not publicized, or is that a non-probability because of rivals and the like?

He's an absolute beast. I know he's not the highest rated in this class, but he's the guy I'm most excited about because he can light people up so much. That onside kick recovery from his video was absolutely amazing.

I was as impressed with Stojkovic's video as any. I know that the level of competition in the prep league is nowhere near that of the FBS but he seems to have uncanny playmaking ability and I see him as another Roberson.

I am very worried about DT but a little less so for OL depth. When you lose a Drake, Gill and Santiago in one year the OL, in experience alone, is not going to be as strong. But, I believe that we have some experience, adequate size and enough talent spread about the two-deep to not suffer greatly. I think that people like Antonio Johnson and Adedipe are diamonds in the rough.

Anyone that follows recruiting is going to know of any commitments lost because it's newsworthy, especially to Rivals, Scout, ESPN, etc. I had rather know that we were in the running for some top talent and it was taken from us than not know that we were even capable of competing for the better players. There is an old adage "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" and I believe that it fits recruiting. We all know that we will have trouble competing with the Big 6 for higher ranked players but the fact that we were chosen, if only for awhile, elevates our stature in the recruiting world.

      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?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
