Justin Gaines Article

North Texas has a big recruiting weekend ahead for its football program, so Gaines will not attend Montana State's "home" game at Sam Houston State.

He's hoping both the Bobcats and Montana, which plays Northern Iowa on Friday, win their quarterfinals and stage a rematch in the national semifinals next week. He says it will be hard to keep him from that game.

"You can't even explain how excited I am for those kids to be able to go back to Texas and play a game like this against a great team like Sam Houston," Gaines said.

"It's absolutely killing me I can't go. I have a big recruiting weekend this weekend and can't come. I'm going to be rooting for them."

Gaines was mentioned on the SHSU-MSU broadcast yesterday. The announcers were talking about the number of Texans on the MSU roster & Gaines was given the credit for recruiting them. They also stated that Gaines had moved on to North Texas.

Gaines recruited Denarius McGhee (sp?), qb from Euless Trinity to Montana State, who has done quite well there, even putting up good numbers in a losing effort against SHSU. I hope he can make use of any connections he made at Trinity and snag some good ones for North Texas.

It's going to be hard to hang on to Gaines. Hope he stays here for a long time

I hope so too.

Anyone who can talk Texas players into playing for an FCS program so far away from home, SHOULD be able to talk them into coming to North Texas.

Or is apathy harder to overcome (recruitment-wise) than distance? I hope not.
