DMN TOP 100 AREA RECRUIT LISTING

[KRAM1]

Yes, I realize that the mantra here on GMG.com has been "local players will not sign with UNT' for a long time and in the past that was pretty much the case, but as the old song goes..."the times they are a changin' " for the Mean green. In looking at the list in this morning's DMN (in the past I checked it out to see how Oklahoma State was doing...not any longer!) I noted to commits and one "still thinking but listing UNT first). They are:

# 85 on the list - OL - Sam Rice from Coppell

#89 on the list - DB - David Busby from Coppell

and listed as still considering with UNT first... #91 on the list - Chase Walling out of Lake Highlands (we all know this story).

OK, you can say three is not many (3%) out of 100, but it shows that this staff and this program will and do go after local talent and can be successful in getting local kids to commit to the Mean green. It may only be three this year (so far), but, like the basketball team, as this program gets better and better in the next few years, I think we'll see more and more local kids playing for the Mean green. One must start somewhere, and it starts with KNOWING you can get these kids to stay home...and in believing in the Mean Green

Can't wait for signing Day...FEB. 1st. let's see a big crowd at Apogee for the Signing day event. It's going to be great fun!
